Not much but got the windows tinted. I work 10 hour days, six days a week. I value the time I get to drive her right now. I'm looking into supercharging in the future, for now though I'm just going to add a factory spoiler and maybe some gt-r wheels this summer.

Fixed my exhaust leaks. Also replaced my air/fuel sensors along with my wide band sensor. Took off my cats and replaced with test pipes. Installed a new set of sparkplugs and im taking my car into the shop on monday to have a new set of piston rings installed. Just blew cylinder 5 piston ring. Motor is completely built so luckily thats all I have to worry about. Thats what happens when you're running an F/I car >_< sucks when it happens but happens only every 30k or so

Made good headway on the black headlight project. Removed the lights from the car, cooked them in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 210 degrees, peeled them apart, and finally removed all the parts that need to be painted.

Very, very busy last few days

Annual oil/filter change
New spark plugs
Front alignment adjustment

Then..

Replaced OEM steering wheel with a newer year OEM steering wheel that I had
Painted the scratched left side cover of the steering wheel in satin black and put it on the new steering wheel
Replaced scratched cruise control cover with a new one I already had

It was my first time removing a steering wheel, and I'm glad I did it. The scratches on the plastics and worn leather on my wheel really bothered me

Will get a pic up later

Default Gimme a brake wouldja!

Couple weekends ago, car didn't like late braking too much up in the hills then proceeded to voice its exasperation with me over the following week (pad sensor screaming "WTF, Mic!! Get off yer a$$!!").

Spent the morning giving in to the thing....



Fresh rotorials and stuffed da calipers fulla Hawks.

All is good again and car purrs its approval. Sigh.... spoiled brat.

These were done a few weeks ago. I don't have pics but I replaced the window motors and speaker spacer rings since the old ones split.

Then I drilled out the grilles finally. I didn't think it would do much but after 5 years of listening to it I could tell a big difference.

Then after that I relocated the VDC off switch, put in 2 new switches and wired the halos around my fog lights to the blue wire that everyone cuts on the 06+ depo lights. Works perfect now.

I find myself reaching for my old fog light switch still and I reach under the dash for VDC off.. Gonna take a while to break those habits.
