l75eya Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Got a thumbs up from a homie G showing off his STI to his other homie G's as I set off a parked car's alarm while going down the block in 2nd gear. Tested my 0-60 time for the first time since owning the vehicle. The clutch is eh, so I'm trying not to beat on her much. I got a dazzling 18 second 0-60 time. Beat that suckas!

newsoobdude Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Inspected the carb on my 82 as it wouldn't get fuel from the bowl to the throat. Jets are clean and the passages were blocked but I cleaned them out. Still not getting any fuel from the bowl to the throat:banghead:. Gonna rip the POS out and try again.

mkoch Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I removed a panel, sanded off the rust, and applied Rustoleum Rust Reformer. I plan to treat one part every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennyt Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 New Radiator (June) New Windshield (August) New starter contacts, because I felt like it (November) Cleaned the wiper contacts & filled in the spark erosion hole, so my intermittents work again! (November) Before: After: Turn signal upgrade (December): Connected the amber side markers to the turn signals that are buried under the bumper. Previously, there was no side visibility at all of the front turn signals, especially in a "changing lanes on the highway" or "stopped at a 4-way stop sign" scenario. No more!

kanurys Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Its snowy out and my blower fan stopped working. Voltage was good at the harness so I rebuilt the motor and we have heat again. Also found a phase 2 ej22 impeza sport as an engine donor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 replaced o-ring seal on the small housing holding the suction hose from the tank on top of the wife's 03 H6 OBW's power steerin pump. It was hard and no longer sealing, allowed lots of air to get sucked in and made the pump whine. Used an 80 cent part from Ace Hardware! hope it lasts a little while.

MilesFox Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I just replaced the rear portion of the driveshaft in my 85 gl wagon. Today, i replaced the battery in my 94 legact GT wagon. I replaced the positive terminal with a brass marine style with a wing nut, easy disconnect without distorting the batt. terminal. Along with this, i topped off my 2500 mile old stnth/blend oil 1/2 qt, and put a shot of ATF in there to do its thing before my next oil change. I put a botle of trans x in the ATF to combat the 'delayed forward engagement' caused by an 'internal pressure seal' and shared an ounce or two with the power steering as it needed a top-off from the pump whining. I rain-x'd my whole car. I used the 'xtree-clean' glass polish to work off the road grime, raine-x treatment outside, fog-x treatment inside, and ummy gummy new rain=x latitude stealth wipers with silver rubber blades, the flat, expensive kind. This cost me 92 bucks at wal-mart. But the car needed it for it's 100,000 mile service interval. I spent 30 bucks on BOSAL brand exhaust gaskets to replace in my entire length of exhaust. Go bosal if you like metal instead of cardboard fel-pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
