Replaced Ball Joints, Outer Tie Rods, and CV Shafts on the Mazda. Ordered wheel bearing kit for the Porsche and some ATE Super Blue fluid for both the Mazda and Porsche. I'll be replacing the wheel bearings in the Porsche next weekend, but unforunately, it won't be in time to Auto-x it on the Halloween. Maybe it'll be ready for January.

we should update this week

10/25/2009 12:48:57 AM

Well, let's see...the last thing I did to my vehicles was put Sta-Bil in them...the S2000, Ram, Waverunner, SV650, lawn mower, and 3 gas cans--I think I used about a half gallon of the stuff. Just a week and a half to go until I get back home and can start burning it all out!

"AC charged"

lol, just noticed this. a man after my own heart, a/c in race cars ftw.

10/25/2009 3:01:17 PM

a few years ago, there was a guy who set a Bonneville record for some class in a hot-rodded to hell Studebaker--with his AC blowing cold throughout the run.

10/25/2009 3:04:20 PM

the dodge got some love today. still waiting on some parts

10/25/2009 3:07:16 PM

^^i'd run my shit full blast at the track too if it weren't for the dangers of dropping condensation.

10/25/2009 3:23:53 PM

Swapped out my plastic steering wheel for a leather OEM one-'09 Accord EX V6

10/25/2009 7:24:46 PM

Cleaned and waxed the vinyl top on my Town Car, it was starting to dry rot, badly

10/25/2009 7:27:25 PM

correctly torqued one suspension bolt and bled the brakes.

10/25/2009 7:37:50 PM

new tail light for the 4runner

topped off the oil in the civic.


my wrenchin life sux at the moment.

10/25/2009 8:23:23 PM

Had a warped rotor on the front driver's side wheel. Took the wheel off and started to take to top bolt off the caliper and it took almost no pressure to break the bolt loose. "Oh shit," I thought. Then I reached down to remove the bottom one and it was missing. That's right, my brake caliper was held on by one approximately hand tight bolt. My dad had replaced the pads on that wheel about 1000 miles ago while I was working on the passenger side. Honest mistake I suppose, but I'm happy as hell I caught it before the caliper fell off on 40 or some shit. Replaced bolt (18.99 a pack ) and fixed the rotor I'd set out to in the first place and all was well.

10/25/2009 8:53:53 PM

also did a little bit of this to my vehicle today

difference between jumping in 3rd gear and 2nd gear

too much air (3rd gear)


3rd gear landing (nose down)

2nd gear landing (flat)

10/25/2009 9:54:47 PM

wired some more shit up on the dodge today. need my pressure switches and to finish wiring the fan up

10/25/2009 10:20:47 PM

you better be using solder and heat shrink and not crimp connectors kneegrow

10/26/2009 11:20:58 AM

totalled mine 3 weeks ago....so got to start swapping parts over to a new one soon

10/26/2009 7:20:36 PM

crimp connectors with the plastic taken off so it's just the metal piece and then heat shrink over it. i'm taking my time and doing it right yo

10/26/2009 7:34:47 PM

what are you swapping it into?

i just finished my 98 2.5RS complete swap into a 96 Brighton shell

took just over 3 weeks, mainly because of the weather

10/26/2009 7:37:50 PM

Finally got this POS to charge at (high)idle.

It's the little victories...

10/27/2009 4:51:41 PM

^^^ why not epoxy adhesive heat shrink connectors? that would actually be right.

10/27/2009 5:51:39 PM

as if my MJ build wasn't enough, Hurley and I opened a whole other can of worms by starting on redoing the front this past weekend. This was supposed to only be the rear for now. I should have built a damn buggy......... Too much sentimental attachment to this Comanche, though, I guess.

10/27/2009 8:37:26 PM

Jacked the Porsche up, took the tires off, and took the brake pads off. I need a damn 19mm open ended wrench to reach a bolt to disassemble the caliper to take the hub off. I'll get it when I go out and get me some grease and the brass punch kit.

10/27/2009 11:05:55 PM

^^^ because i'm cheap and what i'm doing works well and i have no problems with it this way.

10/28/2009 12:21:58 AM

^^

19mm is exactly 3/4"

gettin ready for another $200 oil change, but i gotta find a damn right angle grease fitting for my gun, damn chevy idler arms

10/28/2009 4:37:11 PM

removed one of the spare tires, remounted the 4 way and jack

10/29/2009 12:45:26 AM

Gave the bike a bath and adjusted the brakes. Also put a quality 10mm wrench in the tool kit. You can pretty much disassemble it with that.

10/29/2009 12:52:46 AM

and a 5mm allen wrench

10/30/2009 12:45:22 PM
