BABU whats the story with your steering wheel? Is it a padded and recovered oem wheel? Was considering getting the extra padded alcantara recovered euro M wheel that a guy on the forum makes with used wheels.

Taught my friend how to change your oil/filter, air filter, spark plugs and how to gap them and what indicates a good spark plug and a bad one in a car. She learns quite well which makes it easy :P.

http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1375112781

Rebuilt the twin SU carbs in my 69' Spitfire and now am rebuilding an 80 amp gm alternator to replace the 20 amp generator that came stock with the Spitfire. That'll give it some much needed juice to prevent some of the notorious British car wire meltdowns and some added juice for the sound system

TurboFC3S 07-29-2013 06:03 PM

snails i had to take my whole fuckin exhaust off basically to get my cat off on my civic LOL. i know dat feel.. soaking the cat section over night in penetrant, a torch and impact gun solved everything tho lol

Found someone on eBay who lives a few minutes away, so I did a local pick up... cant find the ad anymore though.

GF bought the pandas from asia a couple years ago

Two months in for my new, first vehicle, claimed for ICBC. :( Most likely will be written off.

underscore 07-29-2013 10:35 PM

Tried to bleed the brakes in the dark, so I didn't notice the big puddle of fluid forming near the passenger front til I went to take a break. Turned out the line somehow loosened off the caliper and dumped fluid everywhere, FML. Trying again tomorrow.

BrRsn 07-29-2013 10:44 PM

Looked up the location of all the ground cables, finally found and fixed the loose ground that's been causing my car to randomly sputter out and die at low speeds (on the first night of fireworks, my car died in the middle of the road on 4th ave -- traffic cop wasn't too happy lol)

Finally fixed my heater core, blowing air again.
Was a bitch, I absolutely hate any kind of heatercore repair on any car.

Booked AC service for tomorrow morning :fullofwin:

Question: What do you "hellaflush" types do to roll your fenders after you're lowered? I just need to roll the lips, and I've borrowed a fender roller like the picture below, but it's like 2" too long even on the shortest settings. My car isn't even slammed, it's just barely tucking the rear tire.
