Spent the last 3 hours washing and polishing my car. I have to say, it looks pretty damn good.
Keiri
Looks fantastic Travis! Good job and make sure you get some rest...you've earned it.
travisxcore
Thanks bud! And I only wish I had the time to sleep. I gotta get up in 6 hours to drive down past Hickory to go see my gramps in the hospital. Hes one tough guy, tougher then our cars no doubt. biggrin.gif

On another note, I cant wait till I get to see your car again. Its so clean. Influences me to just repaint mine every time I see it so mine will look that sleek.
jordisonjr
Order the passenger lower control arm bolt that goes through the small bushing into the subframe.

today i got my a/c working.. didn't know there was a pressure or refridgerant level sensor in the compressor that if there wasn't enough refridgerant, the clutch won't engage.. wasted 2 hours just to figure that out. all it needed was a charge andthere was nothing wrong with the a/c clutch and magnet to begin with...
i also got around to pulling the seats out and vacuumed the interior, cleaned the leather and dash. i was surprised to find $6 worth of loose change under the seats and inside the plastic panels. biggrin.gif

Was over at a friends house last night. Had no idea it was raining. Left her house at 2 this morning and I had left my windows down and sunroof cracked. frown.gif it was so wet.
RabidTRD
Installed my new gauge bezels. Much happier with the professional look of these and the non-rice-o-roni style of the last. Also put on my 6GC.net stickers! Woohoo!

...think I found out why my idle has been so rough and the car sometimes felt like it was faltering and about to die:




Thank goodness I've had a short ram intake sitting in a box waiting to be installed for about a year; it's finally in because of this. wink.gif
al94st
Brian, they did all those other things to your car and didn't notice the cracked intake?
SwissFerdi
Today, I bought an EverStart Maxx 35S. That's right, a WalMart battery. I was hoping to pick up an Optima YellowTop for $120, but the vendor won't have any until next week and I needed something now as my former battery was truly dying. I didn't feel like paying $200 for a YellowTop at other stores either...

It's a 550 CCA unit, which should be fine as I never have accessories on at startup. My amp only draws 175 watts, so it should do fine.

I'm afraid so my friend or it's very possible when the distributor and valve were done they could have torn it but just didn't tell me; it just goes to show why I rarely take my car to the local Toyota dealership.

It's also possible I killed it driving on highway 218 on Monday but I highly doubt it.

They usually all start to rip after a while because they dry rot. It was like that on one of my cars that only had 126k, and another one that 219k. The 219k one had multiple rip points in it though.

Typical 5S intake hose. Ferdi, I'm rocking the same battery inmy project car. I've gotten two of them for free through Wal Mart's warranty. Go figure three batteries in a year and a half.

You have to figure out which ones are power and which are ground. That switch has to be ground because of the light inside. Otherwise the power works right through like a breaker. So you have to figure out where your power line runs and this causes a separation in it. So you cut the power wire in half and run this right through (the two power ends) and then extend the ground onto a screw on the frame. Easy peasy Japanesey.


Installed the gauges back into the car and snapped a shot.

I've started to repaint my calipers and drums on yellow, and waiting for my rims in new colour...

Today I pushed an "Easy" button. Passenger airbag removal is a PITA, and you have to do it lying upside down in the car. Well...



What can I say? I got sick of her always being on top. I want to be on top for once.

Woooo! airbag removal! That's just like my car haha no airbags or wiring at all wink.gif

and I got these babies on today smile.gif



Next project tomorrow is do replace the tie rod ends and give my car a semi alignment because it's sooo bad. Both wheels are facing inward and the passenger side is turned in pretty far...
And yes, I know guys, it needs to be lowered. Let's just hope my struts start to go so I can get new ones and put on lowering springs.
