You're doing it wrong. :gapteeth:

I just hydroplaned in a left turn, but saved it before the curb. :squint: I need tires.

few days ago i slammed a raised manhole cover bending everything in its path. Heres the list:

1. Sway bar (and the mounting brackets and bolts were bent)
2. Oil Pan and oil pickup (bent 3 oil pan bolts on the way)
3. Front subframe....yea the subframe
4. Motor mount broke and opened up
5. PS Lines were kinked

...just been avoiding the car til yesterday. I'm picking up all the pieces along with a 5spd swap this weekend. I'm gonna knock it all out next week.

Made a heat shield for my manifold.
It had melted a few things before so this should work.

finally got the replacement left rear brake pads and caliper to replace the ones damaged by the defective outer pad that came with my drill/slot rotor/ceramic pad kit today. It was not fun modifying the defective pad so it would work properly again after it ate my new rotor... f*** morons. atleast the customer service was good and they sent me all new shiz no questions asked. Brakes work so much better now that all the pads have the same depth.

I changed the oil and oil filter, flushed the radiator and put new coolant in it, filled the tires up with correct amount of air, got it inspected, and got tagged to drive it on the road.

I bought it Wednesday.

I also started to sand off a thick layer of bondo the previous owner applied to the driver's side fender, and will eventually take off the fender and pound out the slight dents in the sheet metal of the Silvia front end.

pulled the transmission off without a hitch. I love the new compressor and pneumatic tools. going to be putting a new clutch kit in. Put in new ss lines yesterday. I cant believe how easy it is to get that thing off once you do it a few times.
