What work did you do on your car today?

well today i was spewing as the reason i was not able to attend the cruise was called off and by then it was too late to get there.

So instead i had these goodies which arrived last week to put in ...

Spark plugs really made a difference, car is running smoother and no more popping from unburnt fuel combusting inside the exhaust

droplinks and bushes stiffened up the back end of the car nicely and got rid of the creaking, thank god

Those droplinks are a god send. So many noises dissappeared when I put a set of them in mine

Sandblasted and repainted Tein front coilovers (shock body).
Installed wideband O2 sensor guage (still need to install the sensor and wire it up though...)

Some stupid Asian lady hit the side of my car while I was driving straight, she's trying to put the blame on me but even the police said she's completely in the wrong.
put the blame on you? how did it happen?

She's saying I went through a red when I "just" entered an orange (would have been 50 metres past the traffic lights before it was red) luckily there was red light cameras to help my case

Replaced 7+ year old Sony rear speakers (my gods, the difference is amazing

).

Replaced side indicators with D.Speed clear ones.

Checked fuses to try and find source of electrical gremlins (they seemed fine

)

And the most important thing... applied FTOAU sticker

looks good scotty.

Yesterday, i installed my white dials (been sittign in the garage for 2 years). Only to realise that I need double sided tape to stick em down properly.

Anyone installed the needle cups? How the hell are they suppose to go on..... There is no slit for the needle to stick through?

Post by **Supplanter** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 11:21 am

Fitted my new bar last night. Goes in for painting on Monday (bar and side skirts). Cant wait!

This doesnt really count as its not going on my car, but this morning before work, I started repairing the Kaze front bar I picked up recently.
