Finally installed a new cabin air filter, only about 8 or 9 months after I got it from Rock Auto. Also replaced a couple of the clamps on my Corsa cat-back in the hopes of correcting a minor leak.

My last mod was Monday. I call it my "Sonuvabishmarthafocker! mod", or the "I turned into a lady driver for 2 seconds mod".

Installed new Michelin PS AS3's, new CS poly sway bar bushings, and fancy new floor mats. Now I need to re-dip my wheels.

Pretty sure I burnt up the power steering pump playing with it in the rain, fluid smells burnt, hard to steer at low speed oh and that whine, hoping letting it cool overnight will let me limp it a bit. Any better route to getting a new pump other than auto zone? Also gotta figure out how to get all the old fluid out of the rack

While I was at it I Painted my calipers to start getting firmer Idea on what powder coat I want. I must say Teal is looking real good.

Drove up to Tick Performance, bought ls7 clutch kit, toured their shop, saw their cars, got a free t-shirt, took clutch kit to machine shop to have balanced, ordered about $600 worth of maintenance items for the 200K mile service I have planned for 3rd week in June....the list is getting very long.
