What did you do today to your 3/S?

I learned you don't have to disconnect the radiator hoses to move the radiator up and out of the way. Mind. Blown.

Made a boost controller. Cost approx $10, and took 10 minutes to make.

Finally have my battery installed under the hood. Lesson for future 3S owners: Unless you're building a racecar, keep the battery under the hood. The safety precautions needed to be met to properly have a battery in the hatch is quite extensive and involves much more than just mounting a battery in the hatch and routing wires from it to under the hood. To guarantee that you will pass tech inspection at any competitive driving event, you MUST install a master kill switch.

This is a switch that when turned off will disconnect the battery AND the alternator from the car.

OK "Public Safety" message over here is the finished product:



Took me awhile to determine a spot to mount the ANL fuse for the 0/1GA lead going back to the hatch of the car.

Converted my steering rack to be manual

Did stuff

Installed SCE oil pan..... One of the last pieces to the puzzle.

Pulled the Skillard splitter and put the factory active aero tray back in, looks better now IMHO. Operation Less Rice = complete. I didn't like the attitude of the splitter and visible hardware = rice. Still need to paint the hardware I used, but I have grown to appreciate the factory appearance more than I once did.

Ordered MOOG K80186 end links from Rock Auto, THANKS Forest

Took first drive of the year, runs good smells like race gas

I would not call the splitter rice at all. That being said, I think it would look much better if painted black.

Too bad that splitter isn't for a 99 or I would take it off your hands.

Went to ZDaysZ with Snook (wearing our BRG shirts of course because HYPE) Saturday. Spent a bit of time today working on my poly rear subframe bushings, and he did some body work to the bay to smooth it a bit more. Things started to go downhill right around the time we ran out of Mike's lemonades and started in on the tequila...Odd right? I blame the weather personally

I can safely say that while I will use the rest of the poly I have on these rear subframe bushings, I will likely never make it this way again. Just not worth it, very time consuming.

We also reinstalled the hood properly (ie. bolted down) where I could now see that my evil eye needs banged up a touch on the passenger side. As it sits, it interferes with the headlight and won't close properly. Would be worried about cracking the glass ones. Glad I have crappy lexan ones to test fit this stuff with at least. New wiring harness is on it's way as well. Need to tear apart the steering rack tomorrow perhaps to delete it so I can reinstall it on the crossmember and put them back in.
