Springs, struts, shocks and adj. camber arms for gf's car. Mazda has a shitty setup the way they mount the front struts to the knuckle. |

My GTI 337 (1.8T - 6spd) used to get ~450kms per tank which worked out to roughly the same mileage (~12L/100kms) using 91 octane but I got that with a combo of regular spirited driving and hypermiling. I miss my 337. :okay: I do have to remember that my 2.5 is an auto and it's also a wagon (heavier) so that's two strikes against fuel economy. But it just sucks to have to drive slow to get the same mileage. |

^quiet muffler & brake on kingsway? What kind of muffler is that? looks clean Powder coated wheels to rich orange. Not finished yet. |
yeah man, great guys and great quick work, I was impressed It's an OBX twin loop axleback |
Installed new speakers into the Element. Pioneer TS-A1684R, a great improvement in sound quality compared to the crappy stock speakers. In other news, after a 1500km drive to San Francisco in scorching heat and intense uphill highway sections at 4000rpm+, idle is sounding a little "tickier" than usual. Probably time for a valve adjustment. Brakes are also getting worse, warped before the trip, now warped even more and something wrong with the brake fluid/master cylinder causing sudden pressure changes during high speed braking. I suspect deteriorated brake hoses. Going to get it looked at as soon as I return back to Vancouver. |
Coils are all the way down now. Mashed the fenders up a bit with a tire iron and some cardboard to give some clearance. (fenders are already messed from rubbing, and a hit and run that isn't covered because I was still on my alberta insurance.) |
made a DIY mount for the dash camera to better conceal it behind the rear view mirror. |
made the mistake of parking under a tree today... my car was covered in sap! I ended up claying the whole car, windows, trims, every inch. The car usually gets a clay every summer, but I thought i'd skip out this year. I thought wrong. Atleast now it's as smooth as a baby's bottom, but I'll need to do a minor polish and wax soon. |
Changed the oil on the Pathfinder in a hotel parking garage :D Didn't reaaaaly need it yet, but a solid 7+ hours of beating on it up the mountain hills at 5000+RPM's, She deserved it <3 |
Cleaning out more stains on the carpet later today |
got one of the missing pieces for my mercedes engine, the cover for the ignition module. Looks more complete now. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...r/IMG_2121.jpg |
install new led drl module so now drl + high beam works again :alonehappy: |
So annoyed, another week has gone by and no parts... dusted interior of car only =( |
Drew some patterns in the brake dust on my front wheels with an empty Carl's Jr. cup :troll: |
I called ICBC to make a claim against the asshat that backed up clear across the parking lot in his brand new C63 AMG to hit the back of my Mazda. |
started cut polishing |
