Finally put in my GMPP pedals.
What a pain in the dick.

Leave it to GM to make slip on aluminum pedals.

 

Attempted to recharge my system with one of those cheap freon cans. It doesn't want to take freon so I'll just take it somewhere. But I'm not about to do these 110+* drives home

 

Finished installing a pair of Schroth Rallye 4 harnesses for autocross duty. Will still be using the stock 3 point for street duty cause I like my neck. (Not shown are the rear harness points attached to the lower seatbelt mount points for each seat.)

 

Redline shift boot

 

Got my Enkei M52's with Continental ExtremeContact DW 235/40's installed.

 

Looks good man

 

If that's towards me, I thank you. I love that white Balt of yours. I originally wanted one but there were none for sale anywhere near me, so I got this unmolested 1 owner. I still have small plans for the future, like some tints and Powell springs/cabs, but I'm diggin' it so far. Makes me smile when one of my co-workers says his 19 year old son is jelous(paid for by himself).

 

Haha yeah it was towards you and thanks

 

OE Struts/mounts, shocks, sway bar bushings/clams, OTTP/Road Magnet springs, Moog CABs and OE end links. Car rides/handles so amazing.

All in all, only took about 4 hours. Zero snags thankfully.

 

Got my interior trim painted satin black, hurst sts, header and my 20 buck console installed. The header was bought used and has a crack I need to get repaired!!!! Was kinda pissed off once I got it installed, I noticed it, thats what I get I guess...

 

Finally took her out of storage yesterday and drove her to work this morning, got to find out
why the ac isn't working and a left front tire leak. Fun stuff.

 

Changed my tune and I'm about to wash it for the first time in forever. It's been nice getting 35-40mpg combined even if I miss the extra low rpm torque of e47.

 

Had an STi ricer flyby me this morning on my way to work.

 

Haven't done anything but drive it. weather has been too wet and cool to do what I want to get done.

 

Installed the Powell PCV kit. Had a few hiccups but it's all in and working from what I can tell. I'll be checking it next month after autocross.

 

I have an 05 SS 2.0L that's currently straight piped and way louder than I want it. It sounds ricey as well. With a 300$ budget, is it the best way to go out and buy a muffler that deepens the sound? Way too ricey for my taste. If so does anyone have suggestions on mufflers I can put on my straight pipe?

 

Lsj's are very picky with their exhaust components. At the very minimum, your gonna want a muffler and resonator and even then just piecing an exhaust together would probably result in rasp. Some ppl opt to keep their cat as well. Your gonna want to pick up a nice quality catback like Zzp, magnaflow, corsa etc

 

Got a complete set of LNF seats, LNF trunk, and LNF rear lip last week all for $150. Drivers seat frame needs repair because the car it was in was side impacted. The passenger seat is good except for an odd dent on the top. Definitely the frame. Already sold the rear lip for $120 and still have the trunk to sell. Gonna get the seats fixed by a professional and then put them in my LSJ



Both the seats, pretty dirty in this picture.




The really odd dent in the passenger seat, none of the fabric is damaged. Really confused as how that dent happened...




The seat that needs work. Can see its pretty mis-aligned.




You can see bending back here.




left side bolster is bent it a tiny bit. seat is sort of twisted. Nothing too bad. Still reclines, goes forwards and backwards, and goes up and down!

 

Stared at it in my garage today while contemplating what ZFR to go with now that the Canadian dollar is a little higher.

 

Depends on what you want to do with it?

 

Discovered the auto parts store timing chain kit I installed had a chain guide that wasn't quite formed right and it cause it to rub on the chain slowly eating away at both




I also found what appears to be a partial roller, on my magnetic drain plug, off of the timing chain but I haven't confirmed that yet.

 

A hair dryer or heat guns makes them easier to install.

They are still a pain though. I remember that install 8.5 years ago, lol.

 

Drove my saab with the f40 transmission only down side it makes my f35 feel like complete crap lol

 

Fixed my improper install of my rear Road Magnet springs and installed 4 brand new Nitto 555 G2s

Car rides and handles like a dream

 

Atta boy.
