I started her up to listen to a noise and suspect chain rattle.

I hope my guides aren't shredded. wed/thurs should be nice days to get it done.

Started overheating on the way back from Newport News Airport. but never got too hot so I hope all is well.

Today I am acquiring my duplicate title and stock front and rear bumpers. Maybe a Greddy type RS. I don't know if I want to use my Turbosmart or the RS.

Well since no one gave me any sort of advice for the taillights or gauge lights, I ripped my dashboard completely out 2 mystery wires that connected to nothin' and fixed the orange wire that's behind the stereo:)

Then I fixed my subwoofer box and wired it up so now I got my lights AND my beats back

I packed up all the parts for her because I'm moving. I'm going to hit up my friend so we can make arrangements to move the other coupe into town.

I should have another Front cover, but I think it might have cut in to the water jacket.

Ordered a new chain guide(hopefully metal) from the stealership. And moved my hatch out of the garage to clean organized and do work tomorrow and thursday.

Yeah the new parts are metal http://www.vanillaslice.info/i...s.jpg But i wonder if the little plastic sheathing had come off mine or if that's some other rattling...

here's what happened to my coverhttp://www.vanillaslice.info/i...1.jpgCleaned it up, yeah pretty bad.http://www.vanillaslice.info/i...2.jpgand it was welded http://www.vanillaslice.info/i...3.jpg

Now I'm out to cruise around in my baby

I took a picture of it along with the other Nissans at the house. Now I am waiting patiently for the mail. Hopefully my title comes today.

I need to diagnose a slight knock coming from the top of the motor.
