Got sideways pulling out of my road and got a thumbs up from a sti. Lol but I did clean up my ls6 intake I got for it. The guy that I bought it off of painted it satan black, and did a shitty job. I don't know why you would even paint a black plastic part satan black in the first place though.

 

Wiped down the engine bay, washed it and wiped off the wheels. Took her for a short cruise. Went to the track Friday night and ran a 12.97, still had a good .15 left

 

did new rotors and pads on the rear brakes, I wanna beat the crap out of whoever bolted that caliper mounting bracket up the last time, it was on there so tight we broke a ratchet and had to get my dad to bring his propane torch and 1/2" drive breaker bar over so we could get the brackets off, then one of the rotors was rusted to the hub so that took a hammer and some elbow grease, but for the first time in a long time the brake pedal is nice and smooth, also flushed the rear brakes while I was down there.

edit: here are pics of the nasty brake fluid I flushed from the rear lines.

 

Finally got around to giving her a good wash.

 

I got my new cat-back exhaust with dynomax bullet and corsa clone tips installed.

 

Drove her to work where she sat in a torrential downpour of rain all day : (

And its supposed to rain all weekend as well.

Poor girl.

 

I applied a new trans am & bird decal to the tail light filler panel. New fog lights, and new shifter boot console ring

 

Same here. Went to class, roads bone dry. 2 hours later when coming home I had to avoid puddles 6 in deep

 

Installed my UMI Tubular K-member, Upper and Lower A-arms, UMI Solid Motor Mounts and Viking Double Adjustable shocks. Just need to get an alignment now. Solid Motor Mounts are going to take some getting used to. Not horrible vibes but there are some. Going from beat down 14 year old stockers that have been shaking since my H/C/I swap in 2007 it will be an adjustment.

 

Nice upgrade! Bloody knuckles?

 

Changed out my a/c compressor, pics later, preparing the car for Crusin the Coast 2013 this coming week!

 

Put my ls6 intake manifold on.

 

What city will that be in?



Cleaning the dirty bird. Needs a wash badly

 

Pulled the spoiler and painted it to match the sail panel that I recently did.

 

It isn't in a single place. They literally cruise part of the Mississippi coastline The major hotspots are Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, D'Iberville & Bay St Louis.

 

I did my weekly fluid and tire pressure check. Because that's what true excitement is

 

Walked past it as she sits there broken

 

Not too many. Used air tools for most of it. Only 3 or 4 bolts that I actually had to turn a wrench on cause I could get the impact on. Feels great. Was a bitch and half to align though. Took about 1.5 hours on a digital alignment rack. If I had it to do over I would have got the non-adjustable Lower A-arms. It was just tedious taking the A-arm off, adjusting length, tighten jam nut, bolt in, check camber/caster, repeat.

Solid motor mounts are not as bad as expected. There are some vibes, but not nearly as bad as everyone made out. Overall I'm pleased for sure.

 

Turned front rotors and installed new headlight motor. Pretty boring stuff.

 

why did you do a new headlight motor? I've not heard of the motors going bad, usually it's just the plastic gear gets stripped out and you need to replace it with a metal one, thats what I did.

as for me I washed it.
