Spent $150 on new clutch pieces. Ugh.

That's actually not bad considering how much a good high performance clutch kit is. Nothing about our Z's are cheap to begin with. It comes with being a Z owner.

I didn't do anything but I did get my tranny mount in the mail today finally.

almost fought a guy for bumping into her, sat in the trunk and took a nap

Finished the motor and 5-speed swap, test drove it and man what a different car this is than when it was automatic!

Used a red sharpie to color in all the paint chips in my fenders cuz i'm too poor to get it painted.

They're in!

I fixed a leaky seal in my master cylinder and then...


I DROVE HER!!!

She pulls like a freaking freight train! I really need an exhaust though...

Should've said clutch related lol. It was a master cylinder and braided stainless line. And you don't need to tell me how expensive these cars are lol.

Gave all 3 cars the weekly shower

uhh...

woke up at 8am. changed the alternator, it destroyed some alarm it had. haha. there was smoke!.
um, oil chnage, oil filter, JWT Pop Charger. spark plugs... windshiled whiper fluid.lol. brake pads... and took out my driveshaft to see what kind of mess it is in.. And finally radiator.


oh yea, i just washed her. phew...im tired. lol.

Damn...that's a lot of work! I thought mine was major having to replace the upper control arms, they were a PITA! Not fun at all when done with mere hand tools. Plus oilchange and replacement of the oil pressure switch. I guess I'm getting too old for this stuff. Hows your DS??

lol, well its kinda easy for me to do anything i want to my car. we have an air compressor, an engine lift, ramps and pretty anything else we might need.

um, my DS look pretty horrible. whoever had it before me did a hackjob on it. the carrier is in pieces and it look like it was made from different parts of DS's... lol. yea, im just getting the 1 pieace from AMZ, but first im gonna make sure what measurements i have. oh yea, and the yoke looks a lot wider then normal ones ive seen..idk. i might have that last bit of info mistaken. lol.

during some work...



after the smoke cleared...



washed.. :]



oh yea!. i found this under the steering wheel when i opened it... lol. see what happends when u hardly use the car or dont do anything to it for almost a year?

well i was misfiring due to horribly cracked and gummed up injector connectors....so i finnally found my brand new injector connectors took her to the shop me and the guy who has been workin on my z since day one replaced all of them and cleened the injectors and guess what it wont even turn on =( we were stomped for a while trying to figure out why we were getting no power to the connectors.....wee checked all the wires and they were all soddered together fine everything was perfect so he said something about the ecu being bad idk...any ideas?

when it was towed to the shop the connectors were pulled off and all the wires were exposed could the shaking of being on the back of the tow truck messed something up....idk???

did he solder the wires correctly?Was the battery disconnected while soldering them? It is very easy to short it out

i got my z running. since i am dropping my tranny now anyway to get the egr plug in i convinced my dad to by me a set of megan racing downpipes with the test pipes as awell as a greddy profec b spec 2 boost controller

haha. i think.. it was dead. it was an empty shell...

i ordered the right spark plugs, tried to find a radiator leak, looked at the 120k kit i need to install this week.

I DROVE HER I DROVE HER I DROVE HER!! First time in over two weeks, she started right up, purred like a kitten and we played around the beach & Mayport NAS area for a while.. that joy came with a price though... im back in JAX :'(

Must be nice. I have a friend that used to own a transmission shop by La Puete. Used to be able to do everything on my car with ease. If I can only have a lift and airtools in my garage...maybe someday. As for the DS its best to just get a 1pc one.

i put new tires on the rear (TIRERACK FTW). I had been driving around with a leaking tire (nail it turns out) and bothi rears where BAAAALD. I feel much more comfortable driving

installed my hks bovs today, replaced the coolant in my radiator( since i filled it withwater to test for leaks) Bought an amp wirinig kit for my sub. and drove her

I thought u would never ask...Today I removed about 83 pounds from my car. I might take an amp out when I figure out what is going on with those (I will post pics a little later) and I want to move my battery to the trunk to balance the weight better. This is seriously the first time I have ever done anything to a car...I haven't even changed my tires or done an oil change before...

I was mad at a girl. So I ramped the boost on the way home ... Damn it's like 2 gallons of gas right there ...

ripped off sideskirts, front and read bumper, changed tail lights, changed radiator fan, took off headlights and fog lights and cleaned them

Started the interior overhaul and man am I glad I chose the fabric that I did, its easy to stretch over the panels and looks freakin amaizing! Pics will be posted when I am done.

ive got a shaftmaster alumium DS for sale brand new never installed, it will fit a 2+2 5 speed

I redid all the fuel lines under my hood today, except for the bastard hose from hell. I'm saving that one for my next plenum pull

Its nice to be able to turn the AC on and not get blasted with gasoline fumes.
