Yeah, I need to work on the front bumper some more.

Saw one of the Local S15's driving around today on the BLVD and then again leaving my neighborhood. I wish the USDM got S15's, they look so good driving around.

Got my exhaust tightened up but I need to get a new fully set of gaskets and replace them all. My exhaust got loose and start tapping the rear subframe. Sooo annoying.

Moved some crap around the garage, Trying to get ready for the big rearrange.

Here's how bad it is now.

Ohh how I miss my youth and D2 days. What pissed me off most about that game was on Battle.net they deleted your online toon after 2 months. So I lost a 99 Necro :facepalm:

I accidentally deleted a 99 Nec with full Trang set. I kinda liked D2 when SOJ's were worth something.

Hoosier240sx, you play PSP tournaments?

Also I have been riding on these Supports for a couple months now. Other than the unsightly surface rust on the hardware, looks pretty good.

When I was at Work T and A were swapping out a blown rad in a volvo.

T mentioned his car running like crap. So I said injector. Called -RJ- got a couple DE injectors to try out. Thank you RJ.

Turns out his #3 injector wasn't doing much. Tried to pull it out and it wouldn't budge. Figured out to screw the screws back in and grab two screwdrivers and pop it out. Well it was pretty stuck in there but some how it popped out and went, "Squeeeeee!"

Swapped O-rings and popped the best looking of the bunch in place. Turns out we bent one of the screws prying out the bish. Found a suitable replacement. Now it just sounds like the chain guides are having fun. Next up is clutch/trans swap.

It was the first av I ever made, So it's pretty old.

Yes this is the season for Russians at the beach. I will post up more pictures of DCC when I have everything.

So I go to wire up my keylight from a maxima and find a jumble of wires left hanging under the steering column spliced to the ignition harness. I have no clue what was connected to it, but I ripped that out. Left one wire to splice the keylight pig tail into. Then started to see other things like hanging boxes and misc wires that could use attention. And now my console and everything is in my back seat. Hopefully when it goes back it never needs to come back off.

I just hooked up my "sub" again. It started out as a single ported box. Its a smaller than a 6" sub and can handle a 100watts, according to the sticker on it. I think it also says 3ohm.

I added a few walls to try to make it a somewhat of a folded horn design. Right now I have it wired up as the left rear speaker. It hits a little better but I don't think the porting is quite right. I'm pretty surprised at the difference by adding a sub from an old surround sound.

I might get a couple 6.5"s and a tiny amp to see what happens.

Yeah I guess I could just put more power to the sick speakers I have. Also Want to start getting to your level and finding new oem things.

So today Tyler came to the house and we were going to run a couple extra grounds to see if it helped his idle issue. The diff only had one bolt in cuz the other stripped out and we about to bolt a second bolt in place tomorrow, he was reversing and somehow the other bolt busted out the bushing and dropped the diff onto his sway bar.

So instead of just a clutch swap tomorrow we are now having to do his rear end again. Will post pictures of today and tomorrow when we finish tomorrow night.

We finished it and it went smoothe smelled a little clutch after the initial drive. By the time I get back it should be broken in. All pictures are on tylers phone.

Well tyler has a great running 240 right now.

Now I have to take my trans out of my hatch and put that ball pivot retainer clip on and going to swap all of tylers trans switches to mine.

Other than life, I have been working on removing emissions off my extra KAe intake.
