Finished the oil change, swapped my door speakers, pulled of my driver's window tint, started removing the tint from the back window and made the decision to find a used door instead of fixing the window motor/regulator on mine. Finally took a look at it today...it's bad. Previous owner tried fixing it. I may attempt to fab a piece of tin and see if it'll hold...but probably going to swap it.

Was going to pull my fuel rail and injectors tonight, but when I saw the rats nest of hoses and wires and what not I had to fight through to get to the last two injectors on the drivers side, I said the hell with it. Didn't feel like dealing with it. All I want is for my car to run right... Getting really tired of chasing my tail trying to sort out issues on it.

Hard body fuel line connected to Holley fuel rails, hose ends showed up UPS today. Removed gas pedal and got an idea of mounting the new electronic pedal. Ordered drive shaft and talked to BMR about a few parts. Guy said if I drive over they give people a break in person.

Finally got my weld Rts 18's in and opened them up to find QC at Weld sucks *****. $625 a wheel and they're all dinged around the outer diameter.

Very unhappy.

On Wednesday I installed ASP 540084 2.75" alternator pulley, seems to be charging fine at 850 idle RPM. Also performed oil change, replaced oil level sensor, oil cooler cover, oil cooler gasket & fuel filter. Cut open old oil filter and no glitter noticed.

How are they running? I've never had a reason to put them in anything but all the auto tv shows seem to push them hard.

"Seems" to be running smoother. I had a slight idle hang and it's completely gone now.
