Replaced belt tensioner, found the center bolt frigging bent. Dunno how that happened, had to steal a bolt from a Ralliart lol.
Replaced power steering pump support bracket.
Installed factory wastegate-BCS hoses.

 

Picked up my IX JDM headlamps, changed the wheelbearings and top strut mounts, installed stainless steel lines.

 

Gave her a good cleaning

 

So, finally got to open my JDM lights that I picked up used from Japan. IX GSR headlamps (HIDs and fogs). However when I opened them, I noticed a couple things I didn't like....

They had those nasty JDM "Eyebrows" I thought I saw them in the auction pics, but at the angle I couldn't tell. 2nd... they were extremely discolored. Odly, not faded... They had an odd yellow tint to them.

So, Out came the razor blades, and the polishing kits. These headlamps were the hardest I have EVER polished. They were nasty with massive scrapes, chips, and that ugly yellow discoloration. I believe these came from a tsunami car... would make sense because the seller is parting out a number of cars, but selling NOTHING that is from the interior or electrical.

I tested out all the electronics, and they all work, and there's no water marks inside the housings.

I have one 90% done... but it took me an hour to get to this point, and I need to rest for the night.


Here is one with that ugly eyebrow, and the yellow tint


Here is what it looked like before (left) vs 90% polished (right)

 

Adjusted the preload on the wga. I thot there was enough but there was no preload.

 

Hit a 4x4 block of wood on the hwy at 70 and bent the rim! Yay! :/

 

Got my kelfords in yesterday from mike at ETS. Thanks again for that great deal! Installed them today and cruised through the Ozarks! Also cleaned out the maf sensor messed with the idol. She runs great, sounds amazing and runs beautifully!!

 

Wash and wax

 

Wired my wideband in to the stock wiring. That's as far as I got

 

I added some fresh adhesive to the vortex generator. This vegas heat was making it melt right off...

my dad found a loose plug on my condenser fan.... HELLO AC! Getting ready to Drive out to MOD and HIN this weekend in cali! Tomorrow i'm going to install interior neon/led lighting with a street glow music interface.

 

Went to CBRD for a new tune after I installed a BBK Full, JMF ex mani, and S1's.

 

Picked up an 8 bumper with an authentic do luck lip... Nose chop time!

 

Oil and drivetrain fluids change

 

Installed the JDM Headlights and Rally Innovations light bar and a good wash and wax...



And yes, she does actually get dirty...

 

Picked up parts from the dealer to fix my heater knob, ordered a cam adjustment bolt and nut that fell off on freeway. One month ownership and fixing a lot of problems. Flashbacks of when I first bought my talon. Lol. Still have yet to get tb shaft seals from STM to fix major boost leak.
