i like the wheels. just needs moar low.

 

What size tires are you rolling on. Probably to short of a tire that gives you the extra unwanted gap.

 

hahaha. You really don't like to work on your cars.

 

I needed an excuse for a new front bumper. lol

 

Picked up some Tanabe GF210's. Will be getting a rear camber kit, toe bolts and doing the rear spring mount mod and mounting the springs in the next 2 weeks.

 

Installing UR Pulleys...got everything in but the crank puley. Trying to figure out whats the best way to tighten the damn bolt...Any suggstions?

 

Painted my Plenum to match the near stock color with high temperature brake caliper paint.

 

 

Today I sat here and looked at it covered and thought..why am I driving the eclipse behind it??

 

I didn't want to take a pic because some of the paint was running and I left the engine cover and sway bar on because I didn't want to go through the trouble of taking them off again like when I installed my plenum spacer. I kinda half assed it and covered the engine cover and sway bar so they wouldn't get painted but you can tell it looks like crap when you get close to look at it lol.

 

Dropped of my radiator at the repair shop. Will be fixed tomorrow. The shop told me i should run a ground strap to it since it is solid aluminum, odd , but they say it will help a lot with corrosion.

 

Interesting knowledge, I'll do that to my aluminum radiator tomorrow.

Edit: Did a bit of research and found that it was common to do so in older cars.

 

when you do it the right way next time. use high temp primer, then find a place that will put auto paint in a rattle can and use that. then use high temp clear. then you have exact color match.

Went to pick up the Z today from the workshop but still not finished (it's been 2 damn weeks) so took some pics and I'll pick her up tomorrow.

 

When I installed my UR crank pulley I took off the inspection plate at the front of tranny and put a pry bar in between the flywheel teeth to hold the crank in place. Then use the degree marks and correct torque specs.

 

You and I both did the same thing at the same time. lol

Except, I tossed mine up in the garage and put my OEM back in the Z.

 

Here is the poor paint job I did on the plenum yesterday since people want pics of it. I will be touching it up.

Not sure I understand.. Whats this ground strap? I have a Mishimoto Radiator on the way for the old one cracked. Is this ground strap something I should look into as well?

 

Hey Sparco would you please post a link to what you read confirming ground straps as a positive/useful mod?

I've read alot about this in the past and honestly the information is all over the place.

Thanks
