i lugged its engine to save gas =]

 

Just put my rexpeed carbon fiber exhaust heat shield on my JDM rear bumper

 

painted my brembos black cause they were faided so badly

 

Killing electrical gremlins.... =/

 

Found out the vibration I've been getting has been from a missing tooth off the spline of the axle. Fuuuuuuu

 

bought a set of lowering springs to take care of the 4x4... hopefully they come in before the long weekend

 

repaired the damage sears did to my RPF1s and painted them satin black

 

^ Ouch.

 

I let her stretch today and in the process ate this **** 350z that was tailing the hell out of me.

 

I was getting a CEL for the Idle Air Controller Valve and some erratic idle, so tried the free stuff first:

Boost leak test. (no leaks up to 25 psi - good news)
Vacuum test. (no leaks)
Replaced the IACV. Problem solved.

 

I had fun with an R8 on the freeway for a few miles. Did some pulls by each other and then just cruised.

 

started the 60k service.. Found out the idler pulley bolt was crossthreaded.. ordered a new bracket and bold... Now it sits in the garage waiting.

 

Ordered her the ever so badass STM Forward Facing manifold

 

Waiting for electricians to finish installing new florecent lights across the garage and than doing new oil pan gasket new oil and filter new valve cover gasket and spark plugs

 

Can't work on cars when parents are home. Yes I live with my parents. Yes my liberal parents don't understand working on cars. So, I snuck out to my car port and worked on installing my Treadstone TR12. All looks good I will make a thread when I'm done. (had to fab some brackets / silicon / bumper)
