But you live in Arizona, you don't need a heater! Just kidding you.

Fixed the belt whine I had endured since the engine rebuild.
It was the Balance Belt Idler -- it was too tight against the belt. Backed it away from the belt a bit, and no more whine.
I actually had someone ask me if I had a supercharger because of the noise.

We've had highs in the 50's this week! By the time the sun goes down it's chilly!

Took my new hood and nose panel to the painter waiting for a price later this week for body work and paint.

Made a slight error in calculating tire sizes, but got new tires and wheels. And an adjustable voltage regulator, which I highly recommend, found here

I installed my freshly rebuilt fuel injectors. They were almost too beautiful to reinstall.

Those fuel injectors look nice! Did you do them yourself or sent them into a shop?

I sent them to Witchhunter. I can't wait to see how my car runs with my rebuilt fuel injectors, new fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator/damper!

I finished install on most of my new AC components, FINALLY. Now all that's left is to put together the interior control fan box thingy and that rat's nest of wires that goes along with it

I would have told them I had a supercharger just to seem cool.

Does it get down to 14 degrees like it did when I was in Connectiut last week?

I'm not usually a fan of the man hole cover wheels, but your car pulls them off pretty well.

What's so great about an adjustable voltage regulator?

I highly recommend it. Whatever you do, don't be a cheap bastard like me and get the parcel post shipping from the post office. It took a week for them to get there...

Put her on jack stands and removed the exhaust system, starter, and set it to TDC. I would say I do not think the nuts for the cat have ever been removed... Anyways day one of replacing the clutch is in the bag. Tomorrow I will have a lot more time than today.

Thanks. I don't know much about voltage regulators, but his sight sold me. I'm actually just happy that my battery light is out haha

Well the windows got tinted just before Xmas day, cost me an arm and a leg. New rotors came in the post the same day, was meant to fit them on today but wasn't able too get around to it.
Pulled door panels off to check speakers sent a quote request to get them reconditioned. Looking at what color to paint the calipers when I do the rotors... I'm thinking yellow but the minister of war and finance thinks black?????

Black's uncool, hardly noticeable. Go yellow! ^
