discovered that freeway driving in a car that has sit for several years is a bad idea without 1st having the tires balanced(scary vibration at 60+). also went to the DMV in sacramento(hell) to find out the guy i bought it from never non-oped the car and now registration is gonna be like $550

Fixed the "crickets" in my hatch....been driving me crazy all summer. Turns out they were the metal snaps along the back vibrating. I used velcro...will see if it holds in the heat.

Test fitted a gt racing rear bumper. Needs work/paint

got the tires balanced and took her out for a 30 mile test drive. still have a scary vibration up front on bumps and after 60MPH so it looks like i'll be digging into the front end next. wish me luck

Filled up the gas tank, 16 gals @ $2.92 per gal. found the nearest onramp and floored it to the next exit!!

I go home this way 'cause I hate red lights and traffic. I bypass 3 lights and stop and go driving, a little further away and more time but much nicer, I get to drive about 5 miles in the desert instead of town.

at 6 this morning i ran a fused line from the battery, through the firewall to my power locks because i dont like jumping power from the cigarette lighter or clock which has caused them both to fail lol. grounded the setup to the chassis next to the ac blower.

also installed a racy-looking bar between the c-pillars that is a solution to keep large heavy things from sliding forward and hitting me in the head (no rear seat). (does it count as rice if it has a good purpose? lol)

its actually a piece of black steel gas pipe, pretty sturdy stuff and this particular length was what was used to knock apart my TT. stripped the old paint off, gave it a few coats of flat black, and mounted it on the pins that the seatback used to clip onto. ill get a picture tomorrow maybe.

tomorrow im going to tighten all the suspension and tranny bolts, adjust my noisy hatch pins, and then drive to san francisco

Torqued down my cylinder head but found 4 of 10 bolts had quite a bit less torque then the others =/

944obscene

Hid her from the weather tonight. Expected big storms and garage is FULL of parts from fixing my Saturn.

Have been wrestling with a shifter problem that seems to be a recurring issue. Managed to push the shifter forward and back while shifting around.

Oh and since I haven't updated in a while... GOT REAR ENDED BY ******* FRIEND. Wasn't paying the frick attention! Now shopping for a Euro bumper.

Ballistic-Chapman

Worth it in the end The lower diffuser will help shape the sides. I had to sand the sides of the gt bumper quite a bit for best fitment.

I feel for you, really... my daily commute is 75 miles each way.. and I use my P-cars as daily drivers... makes me not mind the distance one little bit...

WOW, that belongs in a gallery, not a garage... simply beautiful... makes my engine look like a glob of grease with hoses and fittings... my only solace is the fact that mine goes VROOM....

V2Rocket

hey i know that car


sorry it took so long to get there, being sick sucks majorly. glad it arrived and looks pretty on that beautiful engine

your engine is a blob of grease. but it is very fine tuned
