What did you do today to your 3/S?

I see detailing supplies.

Yeah, had been using it where I rattle canned some paint onto the car as a test. Cleaned up very very well, but the paint is just so soft that I stopped. Once I fix the air compressor I'll probably sand, touch up and do a respray properly.

Changes coming

Put a bleed hole in the $10 MBC. Works even better now...

Did some driving around and hit fuel cut as it's cooler than when I first set the mbc, had to turn the boost down. (Hit 17-18lbs)

IDC was logged at 107%. No knock though.

Time to start saving up for the first round of upgrades.

First set of poly rear bushes have been drilled, working on the center pin fitment a bit more. Center pin material either needs to be reamed out slightly, or the bolts on the body side need to be smoothed a bit. Wire wheel should take care of that for cleaning up corrosion.

I got the hood all prepped for paint and sprayed it yesterday. Today I will be sanding it back down and spraying it again...WTF!!

I'm thinking the gauge on my gun is messed up and the pressure was too high. Dry streaks all over and textured like rhino liner as the paint was drying in the air. Sadly I'm out of paint now so have to head to Napa and get another gallon. I only need about a quart but they only sell it in gallons. Also getting a new regulator to for the gun.

Well..Getting this rear subframe back on by myself is a pain in the ass. The poly has very little give and I sized the center pins to be pretty much exactly spot on so that there wouldn't be any slop in them when hitting the gas or the brake. So need to get it lined up absolutely PERFECTLY to get all four on there. Still need to make new metal washers to go above and underneath.

May just settle for getting the front wheel hubs back in and the front wheels back on the car.

I feel your pain there, it's a pain in the ass.

And its on! Needed to just get someone else to work the jack while I positioned everything.

Still need to make new poly and metal spacers for above and below the bushings, but think this will be fine for getting it on the trailer. Need new nuts for the bolts, but not standard pitch for their size. Going to have to take this hardware back to work and swap it out. Same for the front wheel hubs. What I picked up is just too coarse thread.

Oh well. Trying to figure out if I want to drive over there now and get the hardware or just call it a day at this point.

Menard's usually has odd thread pitch bolts here... I've found 90% of what I need there.
