This is just a quick thread to give everyone the DL on your car. Just let us know what you got comming in the mail, new stuff you put in, new cars, new problems, status that kinda thing. I'll start it off.

I got some SE door panels finaly and the rest of the front interior put together. I got a new window switch bezel. I also replaced the ball joints a couple weeks ago with MOOG ones. Greese fitting and everything. Engine is missing abit, so HEI soon, as well as new rotor/cap/Plugs/Wires.

Other than that not alot. I'm working on getting some alpine type x components from chris, as well as his buddies amp (Precision Power, PCX).

What about you guys?

Cool thread

Mine is running good right now besides a minor misfire at low rpms after the engine is hot. I've also got a slow oil leak. I guess I'm also running rich on account of those huge backfires that Vanished likes so much

At the moment I've got springs, a front tower bar, CAI, xenon bulbs, and an oil cooler gasket coming in the mail. I still need to order struts, boots and mounts. On the list of things to do soon is also the HEI mod to try and help that misfire.

Today I just did some minor maintenance, changed the power steering and AC belts. The steering actually feels a bit more responsive now.

Oh right, a peice of paint flaked off under one of the doors the other day.... Rust! Crap! I guess I have to look into getting that fixed too.

Nice idea for a thread but isn't that what worklogs are for??? LOL

I guess it's cool for those just throwing interesting progress out there...

Either way I'll participate since I haven't made a worklog yet. Here's what's going on: I'm waiting for a set of mint mx-3 floormats in the mail. I need to replace my LF wheelbearing and re-grease my control arm bushings (they creak) in the slow car. I'm procrastinating on these.

Last weekend I rebuilt my master power window switch so I don't have to buy one on ebay! I also went to the junkyard and got a LF caliper for my fast car and replaced it - much better braking now.

This weekend I am going to prime my new precidia spoiler (thanks lowridah313) and install it on the slow car and also I am thinking about taking the hatch off my fast car and going to get these hatches (one at a time since I don't have a truck). I think it would be cool to have a spare hatch without the wiper for a cleaner look if and when I go to shows

. I'll just have to clean them up and tint them.

Ok quick update

Car makes a weird wirring noise?

Needs a control arm and an aligment

I installed my alpine type x components the other day, but the precision power amp didn't power up! So, i'm on the hunt for an amp. I also got the part from pheonix gold (who knew they send parts) for my mono amp, so the sub will be going in shortly.

ALSO: i need new rims and tires...
