not that anyone probably cares, but here's some recent pics. since last time yall have seen my car, obviously it was ricey. but the reason for removing the kit, and wing is beyond aesthetics. the kit, horrible getting around town, the wing made the shocks on the hatch useless. so im going to try and sell all that stuff eventually..hopefully lol

plus ( you guys' will probably think im crazy) i've always loved muscle cars, so im leaning more towards that look. the taller, 9.5" tires on the back, plans for a custom hand-made cowl induction hood (nothing crazy), solid motor mounts, etc.

anywho, i just got new Fuzion HRI's on the rear, 245/45/17 if the pic isnt too clear, and the same dz101's on the front, i'll get new ones later. some pics of the cam swap, notice the top tensioner bracket i'm holding that broke dead in half, luckily im sure it made its way to the bottom of the oil pan somehow.

i removed the steering wheel cover, looked decent so i sprayed it with chrome paint, then cleared it which turned it silver but bleh at least it wont blind me lol. oh the electric fans off the sentra i did yesterday, actually very simple. but let me note that the 4 wires coming off each fan are 2 positives and 2 negatives, i wired all the + wires together and ran them to the relay, the - wires were grounded. it obviously gets more power when everything is run in parallel so i left it like that for now, so they both run full speed all the time regardless of a/c.

but in theory, the fans pulls air through the condenser which gives you cooler a/c, so if both fans are already going, then it would blow colder, faster. eh maybe.

next week an UR crank pulley. i have a leak in the front main, so i'll knock 2 birds out with one grenade,..err stone.

anyways you guys have any questions just ask, enjoy

































oh yeah, shaving the 3rd tail light, and paint is dark blue metallic, with blue metal flake top coat, just experimenting

man it looks nasty inside you valve cover. You might want to check compression and stuff to make sure the engine is still in pretty good shape before you start modifying it.

the color of the head internals doesnt mean theres something necessarily wrong with it.

but it is a sign of someone taking very little care of it, old used oil tends to stain aluminum like that. a lot of older engines are like that though, nothing to stress about.

my head is more like...3 parts kapitaljin, one part OP. i recently rebuilt all my stuff and had the head sit in carb cleaner for a couple days.

OP, your wiring looks like a mess, you should use shrink connectors instead of crimp connectors.
