Picked up order from Rockauto and Pelican parts :accepted:

Realizing you only bought one side of a sway bar end link :failed:

meh, you only do one side at a time anyways. :troll:

^ Ha, luckily the local auto parts store has another in stock! +1 for buying locally. haha.

Got new rear pads for the RX7 and got new fronts on order for tomorrow, then used gasket maker to seal the heck out of my block off plate.

looking good. Are they gloss black? where did you buy them from? Thinking of changing my kidney grills to black as well.

Yup gloss black. I'm not a fan of matte black trim. I got them on e90post!

Edit:

I also took care of those amber reflectors on the front bumper today. No school = lots of time to mod.

Replaced fan clutch in the 325i, and noticed a coolant leak on the 240z. Looks like from between the head and the block. Arghhh. Engine swap sooner then later?

302 and a T5? :troll:

Sun came out for 10 minutes so decided to test out Ammo NYC's wheel cleaner, pretty good results.

Couldn't get a close up because it started raining;

Car drives perfect now!
a total of 150$ in parts and 0$ in labor

holy, how can a mechanic that incompetent stay in business.

jackp0t was the shop anywhere near PoCo?

I got my GTFour with a "blown headgasket, fried piston rings, or fried clutch" (mechanics words) for dirt cheap. It ended up needing spark plugs/wires, an exhaust stud and an intake coupler. Not quite as crazy as that RSX but it does happen a fair bit.

Didnt bother to ask

Lots of crooked shops and mechanic out there
I was once got owned by one paid 300$ to replace a valve cover gasket! . noob times. I don't miss it haha .

Those Alpina wheels look like fun to clean

Can't begin to tell you how painful it is to clean them after every drive. If I don't clean them after every drive than the brake dust cakes on and it's even a bigger bitch to clean.

oem pads on bmws are pretty dusty...

seen some lease returns and neglected bmws with wheels caked with brake dust :heckno:

and the ones that are caked are the designs that are always hard to clean!

beacuse everyone made a huge deal about me working on my living room floor, picked up this huge desk, got a vice, bench grinder and lights for it. also got some shelving and im gunna make a work area as i just picked up a whole front end for my car and im going to start working with fiberglass and carbon kevlar ;)

http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1398449761


grabbed a mint front end for my car, same year and colour, i have lots happening to this front end so this will be my (clean backup) incase i go another route


http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/...psngagzjzj.jpg

all i gotta say.. i have a spare hood.. and one of these ;)

But I like the livingroom mod pics.

Good thing the landlord never goes down there lol

I'd suggest you reinforce the underside of the desk with plywood or a metal plate, before you bolt a vise or grinder to it.

i pay rent for dat shit, its mine. and its a solid desk, it weighs at least 150lbs

:accepted:

So is the desk going in the living room or the bedroom?

Ill trade you some easier to clean wheels for them...:awwyeah:

Do you only have the Ammo wheel cleaner? Or did you buy all the products?

I'm really interested to know how the products are to use. I love watching Larry's videos and the products look awesome...

Installed New Cap, spark plug wires, rotor, points and one of two condensers. Couldn't get the other condenser out with my lacking selection of screwdrivers without removing the whole distributor.

Also removed the front sway bar for refurbishing so it will look all pretty with the new bushings/endlinks.
