What did you do today to your 3/S?

I did that then shortly afterward my crank sensor failed. I don't remember if I have to take off the timing cog to replace the sensor. I hope not lol.

Yeah I was super excited to get it. Seeing as I would drop almost $600 renting a Uhaul for NG I just said screw it and bought one. Atleast now I have equity in something and not just pissing my money out the door renting.

Got it from a local Farm couple who has them made and sells them. So it's not a big name brand trailer so I'm actually paying for materials/labor and not a name. It is exactly what i need with no frills. I'll add a few things to it here and there like additional tie down points and maybe a hand winch.

No but you have to rotate the ninja star to clear the sensor.

got a lot done but only took pictures of the rod ends i made. Rebuilt them using opposite thread so alignments are as simple as turning the whole thing. no need to take it off. Will be posting an update video this week.




Also, my video from last week showing (most) of my failed attempts at steering. Sadly this isn't all of it.

[MDoe8]

No i was an idiot and forgot it was a rear steer setup so everything was backwards. I am using a mustang rack

I did some more blasting of some smaller brackets & my battery tray/hold-down hardware...The damn weather turned to crap, so I'll wait to powder everything tomorrow night after work.

Trying to figure out what exact kind of turbo's I have had sitting here these last couple of years

Did some powder coating last week. Getting the hang of it again after taking a year break from the car.


Some of the brackets that bolt to the turbo and manifolds have a lot of pitting from rust. 2 coats of powders only covers so much and these aren't very showy parts so I didn't feel like priming/sanding/priming/sanding.....







Will be powder coating the lower intake plenum tomorrow. Can anyone who has coated one of these tell me how that goo on the bottom reacts in the oven? I soda blasted it today to remove all of the carbon from the runners. These areas will be masked off and the rest will be sandblasted.

Before:


After:





I also continued work on polishing my plenum, a job I should have just sent to April because polishing is just not my thing. I still cannot figure out a tool to get into the recessed areas between the bosses.
