Uninstalled the ingalls engine damper that the previous owner had put on. Seems like it was pretty worthless. Replaced a missing bolt in the exhaust manifold, no more tickticktickticktick. FUN STUFF.

Was your car missing the bolt when you bought it?

Excellent question!
I can't be 100% sure either way. I don't recall it making ticking sounds in the beginning of ownership though.

Did an oil change on the GD with the usual s2000 filter plus Royal Purple 5w30.
Was so excited to drive it out today until I checked that my pink slip is expired. Oh well.

Installed ARC Magic wind masters today. They probably don't do anything, but it's nice JDM bling.

Last couple of days. ... Clay Barred ENTIRE vehicle outside, yes yes. ... windows, bumper, lights. .... everything except the rims. Then Meguiars cleaner wax and Rain Ex (on windows and lights) whew. The wife and i are talking about "invisible mask" so as not to worry about our dirty freeways here in the Bay area.

Those door panels look nice! Unlike our boring fabric here.

Hi, have just had an email from a wrecker over in Hamilton. He has a complete interior like this. Waiting on a reply to see how much he wants for the door cards.

Looks like cleaning shouldn't be too hard.. That's one pass with the vacuum. Have just finished wet cleaning them so will see how they look in the morning.

[QUOTE=jmsplitfyre;1342627]Removed the front coilovers and gave it a little bit of cleaning and adjustment. The Function & Form Type II's don't go real low up front so I decided to push the preload a tiny bit more than advised.

You can also remove one of the collars on the bottom to get more low if your all the way down, I've ran it like this for over 2 years with no issues.

Booty shot of flares with wheel spacers, planning adding 2pc black air diversion diffusers.

Looks dope bro! The side skirt diffusers are sweet
