swapped engine air filters today. 24k miles... pretty dirty, but not horrible. searched for a DIY here - was very easy.

Leaking water pump. Car began making a "ticking" noise and then I noticed a half-dollar size amount of coolant on the floor.

Changed the oil, Performance Friction 08 pads and installed a pair of Sparco Evo II seats and 6 point belts with a Brey Krause harness bar for the DE season.

Changed my transmission fluid today. Don't think i want to do this again without a lift. JP gave me just enough clearance to do what I had to do to get the job done. If you have never changed the transmission fluid, you will need to have the engine running while you crawl under it to pump new fluids into the tranny....needless to say this was a little frightening. To help pump the new fluids back into the tranny, I rigged up this contraption. Here is a parts list ... all of which I picked up from Home Depot:

1 gallon capacity pump Flo Master Heavy Duty
1/4" dia copper tubing (8" long)
1/4" dia copper tubing (4" long)
3/8" outer dia vinyl tubing 10' long (1/4" inner dia)

The 4" long copper tube inserted into both vinyl tubing and the hose that comes with the pump. The inner dia of both clear vinyl and pump tube are 1/4". See pix #1.

The 8" long copper tube connected to vinyl tube. See pix #2.

A close-up pix of 8" copper tube with hook. Finger gives scale of hook. See pix #3.

Copper tube hook hangs from tranny pan. See pix #4.

Here are the DIYs for the job:

Hope this helps others who may want to do this job.

I look at those pictures, and besides being impressed that you can do that, I'm jealous of your lugs. I'm jealous of another man's lugs. Ha!

Doesn't look like fun. What kit did you use and where did you get the compressor?

Enjoyed the sound of my recently installed FD motorsports exhaust. The sound is exactly what I wanted.

Sorry, too dark for pics.
