2 Days ago I poured all the water out of my taillights and put in new gaskets. Hopefully my taillights don't end up like fishtanks anymore...

Lol I had to do that with my gti. So annoying having foggy tails after every car wash.

GabAlmighty 04-19-2014 10:00 AM

Yesterday I put a welded diff in my s13 and fixed the radio wiring in my truck. Then I almost rolled my truck in a ditch.

Remember when I said I was gonna wrap my car today? Um Yea, that didn't happen :okay:,
I wrapped one chrome door handle and then peeled it off because I didn't have a sharp enough knife to cut around this little button on the chrome piece

This is all I got done though but peeled it off

Lomac, that photo's cropped too closely dude. I'll save your post by posting an uncropped photo for you.

Nice! Is it a 9-3?

Lomac 04-20-2014 08:08 AM

Nope, NG900 2L turbo. Needs a bit of work, but otherwise it's in good condition.

Fixed my coolant leak, turns out it was the cold start switch on the water neck being loose.

Also fixed my oil leak, scraped off all the silicon from last time and welded the seams from the inside.

And then oil change. Still a couple minor aesthetic issues to fix, then off to Toyota Fest!

Its a grand cherokee, it would have sucked even more if i had already put the hitch. It was hard enough trying to get the hitch in there without removing the bumper.

Nice!

I kinda like that colour though... is there a reason you are going to wrap?

I do think that pearl white (if it is the same one I am thinking about), will look pretty darn awesome.

asian_XL 04-21-2014 05:33 PM

^ something similar to this, with metallic look

Bought these 250$ 17x7 +45 BBS RK's for the EP3, 1 wheels was mint, 1 had a massive crack and bend in it, and two of them had a bunch of spoke cracks.

Had the wheel straightened, welded up all the cracks and rash, sandblasted them, sanded and filled, and finally painted them in the garage today. Probably 20+ hours of labor in these stupid wheels... but... now at this point it doesn't seem so bad.

I've painted entire vehicles before, my overall impression of using duplicolor wheel paint is that you can get very good results, but the cans tend to create a lot of dry spray. If I painted the wheels in a less dusty area they would have turned out a little better.

Having said all that...

Not the aforementioned ditch I almost rolled into but I went wheeling the next day and almost put her over again. Keep an eye on the rear passenger wheel.

STANCE DOESN'T WORK

Energy 04-22-2014 03:49 PM

Sorry... that plate is so ironic haha

underscore 04-22-2014 05:40 PM

Fabbed up a little plate to block off one of the rad caps on the FC. Looks like shit but it should do the trick.

jasonturbo 04-23-2014 06:15 AM

Installed buddy club SS in ep3 today
