Sunday: Hand washed all the grime from the typhoon off. Perhaps more importantly, hit an important mileage milestone: 150,000 km!




Don't mind the AYC light, it's because of my LSD install and I haven't turned the warning light off in the ECU (I assume that's possible).

 

Enjoyed some nice back road driving.

 

Ordered my giro disc brembo rebuild kits and STM radiator brackets. Almost ready to send my calipers and other parts to the powdercoater.

 

Oil change and I am trying to fix the hot/cold knob for climate control...

 

Switched back to e85

 

Finally got the chance to install my front spoiler.

Found out thst, while my spoiler fits my front bumper like a pair of Italian kid leather gloves, there is one problem - there are no mounting holes drilled in the spoiler.

This means that unless I can mount the spoiler, I can't mark the exact spots to drill the mounting holes. But I can't mount the spoiler without the holes in place.

If I had a buddy and a lift, this would be so much easier.....

 

drove the **** out of it to barnes and noble and petco lol

 

Put on a mishimoto rad cap. Going to leave the office and burn half a tank of gas..

 

Drove it too fast...

 

Got my brother (fabricator) to make top hat covers for the top of my front struts! Will post pics but basically I installed fortune auto coilovers a year ago and realized they are wide open so when I drive in the rain my engine bay gets filthy! Pics to follow!

 

Changed out my T-case gear oil and rear end oil. Im hoping to net at least 20whp out of the new oil.

 

replaced my squeaky dusty brake pads with girodisk magic pads.
Much much Much easier than I expected.

 

Ordered my ETS UICP. I have a BR one now but want all my pipes to match. Doin some work to my engine bay. Gotta keep up with the engine bay thread!

 

Threw in a ix turbo with a forge wastegate actuator into the blueberry over the weekend. Awaiting the ets 3.5 ic to arrive in the mail and i still have not farted in my car since i bought it in 2009. Still has that new car smell after 130k

 

Turtle wax FTW
