B16 tb cleaned inside and out
Today I just had to get to work on the Hot Rod. Pulled the tb cleaned and honed the inside of the bore. Used a brass brush and light oil to clean up the exterior. New hot water line from the t stat to the tb.
Best part no more cel, smooth excelleration, and runs stronger because the ecu knows where the tp is.
Cooling system and front and rear camber kits.

[I]Great cleaner (RED)<br/>High gloss sealer ( Silver )

This paint job was pretty beat when I bought the car. But the products above are as close to magic as I've ever used.
The clear coat on the hood had bird droppings burnt into the clear. But the cleaner and elbow grease took it out! I've used alot of products over the years and even buffing these spots don't always remove them.
But holy cow this morning I was trying it on the hood and it took 3 bird etchings right out of the finish!
The kit is like 55.00 but has hi ratings ... now you know too!

Installed the front camber kit last night and today. The balljoint on the ps was toast. Want to change out the shocks to real coil overs in all 4 corners, right now it has the sleeves on red KYB adjustable, and the rear camber kit then an alinment.

Remember
the show Knight Rider?
Well we have a JDM version and its krazy kool.
I know it'll get me a ticket so I'll have to put a switch in line. But for now it's just fun.

installed the Knight Rider switch! broke the ground figuring if the terminals on the switch where to get touched by anything it would not matter. works like a charm.

She made it through Matthew
The storm/ hurricane was much much more than the the weather forecasts said. 23 hours of rain 11 hours of really strong winds. Flooded all over and downed trees. 12" of rain in 1 day.
Rutherford Dr river!

Optima marine battery for the stereo and winter storage
Never used fiddty $s :)
This will be great for the stereo amp and winter storage:
Brake rebuild, coilovers, front end alinment. And she'll be ready for next season. Maybe a new set of rims and tirer to go with the drop? He he he.

Rockford Fosgate is a winner! Vented is different than the sealed boxes I've been using. The air movement is insane that and being 2 feet away from it when it is on. (Big Smile).

jdm look, lol, naw just hiding the spider cracks! ha ha
Orange tint on corners , lenses are spider cracking. This gave them a new look. Will be doing the signals tomorrow, time permitting.
E Bay is one of the few places that sells the ef hatch corners and they are all used and too expensive. When I ad the 88 they where still being made. 90 - 91 are now but they're drying up too. There's more than one way to reskin a cat!
