What did you do today to your 3/S?

Prepped the engine to degree it, but have folks coming tonight for a small party. Road trip tomorrow and Tuesday. Looking forward to getting this project closer to completion.

I installed some 20T turbos and had no problems but was driving around on low boost working out some other bugs with the car. I went through and replaced the rear diff bushings, carrier bearings, driveshaft, clutch, and finishing up the transmission. I wanted to refresh everything and hit the track without any problems this time. I braced the end housing, was getting ready to weld in a bell housing brace, install the SCE center diff, and install the Quaife front but I've put that all on hold. I'm putting the transmission back in without those upgrades.

I'm putting my car back together, tuning it to probably mid 20s boost to see where the power is, and selling some parts to make room for a 92 Stealth I'll be picking up. That'll be the one I keep and I'll slowly return my 95 back to stock. I wanted to get some numbers first. I may buy an AEM v2 for the 92 and sell the v1 that's on it. I definitely need to read up more on it and mess around with the software but it isn't as bad to use as I thought. I really love the live tuning feature which I miss with Chrome.

I "bought" a daily driver. It was my parents 03 Mazda 6i that they gave us but it needed new brakes and wheel bearings all the way around. 313K miles on it after the drive back to CO from KY and it still runs great.

Haven't got started much on the Stealth yet. Decided to put a little time/money into the Grand Prix so I know it's good to go for awhile. My reasoning there is if I can keep it going, then the money I save from not having a car payment will be money I can put into the Stealth. I figure $600 now, will save me thousands over the next year or so of no car note.

Well, I got a but up my butt and finally got some stuff done. Technically this happened over the last 2 days, but here we go.

I got the tank out! That was a pain, and Ill be replacing a few hoses...

And I only broke 5 of the 6 studs holding the fuel hat on lol

And then I got the assembly apart and almost put back together.

But I have to say, my favorite part so far was testing out the clay bar for the first time, This pic was taken after a quick clean, clay bar and then a wipe down. I cant wait to see how much better I can get it.

Hopefully I can keep the motivation up!
