why did you add toulene instead of say.. buying race gas?

10/16/2011 9:10:40 AM

The sunday morning hangover was minor, so car detailing did take place. 4 hours later the car looked amazing.

And now, the following day, my lower back is still killing me from that work

10/17/2011 8:57:18 AM

That sucks man... I need to go through mine right now, it's a mess.

10/17/2011 8:58:52 AM

cause i can buy toulene in bulk at a paint supply warehouse.

im prob gonna stop this practice-

10/17/2011 1:55:34 PM

Took my Tein coilovers off my 240sx to get rebuilt. I start body work tomorrow

10/18/2011 12:49:02 AM

Clutch cable (the small one) broke for the first time in about a year this afternoon.

I put a new one in and adjusted the big cable.

I wish I knew why these little cables snap all the time (this is the first time it's done it since I put an aftermarket quadrant in, but before the aftermarket quadrant, the cables would break every other month or so).

Definitely saving the receipt for this as it has a 1 year warranty and has gone up in price 90% over the past year

11/22/2011 1:18:44 AM

cut the rear quarter panels off of the car and welded new, wider wheel wells in

11/22/2011 1:28:47 AM

Put it on eBay

11/22/2011 1:27:09 PM

I put the factory mud flaps on the front and rear. Retrofitted a 740 turbo Volvo lip. Looks surprisingly good and cheap, so I don't give a shit when it scrapes shit

11/22/2011 5:55:58 PM

Removed turbo, intercooler, up pipe, down pipe, turbo inlet pipe, and the underbelly tray....

11/23/2011 8:04:30 AM

Finally washed it. It was long overdue. Paint is a little fucked in a few places :/

11/27/2011 2:41:28 PM

Oil change on the 4Runner.
Did a foaming engine cleaner/degreaser on the engine bay.

11/27/2011 7:10:13 PM

Put another thousand miles on it. Oil change is now about 5k miles overdue. If I sell this car, nobody here buy it.

I hate working on my own car after working on everybody else's. What a drag.

11/27/2011 7:56:20 PM

A mechanic's car is most often the last to get attention.

I've been trying to fix my 6 rpm bad ignition breakup. I'm thinking the plugs are bad. They don't look bad. It swapping the coils and ignitor didn't fix the problem.

Fixed my throttle cable. It kinked and the car was bouncing Off the rev limiter for a sec before I shut it off

11/27/2011 8:58:19 PM

Sold a radio so I could buy a touchscreen to put in it.

11/28/2011 1:11:27 PM

Swapped my 15" wheels back onto the Integra yesterday. The 14" stockers are shod in Azenis and these have high performance all season rubber. Dropped 5lbs of unsprung weight per corner!

11/28/2011 1:38:36 PM

water pump, belt tensioner, and idler pulley on the dakota

12/3/2011 7:21:34 PM

I've had the sunroof off the neon for a few days trying to figure out how to best seal the rubber weatherstripping to the glass. Today I used a marinade injector to inject window/bathroom caulk under the rubber to create a fresh seal and hopefully stop the leaks. ~4PM tomorrow I can test it all out w/ the hose.

12/3/2011 7:35:06 PM

why not use

you know

weatherstrip adhesive

Not car but replaced a raw water impeller on a Suzuki 2 stroke and winterized the inboard so I could move it out of the garage.

12/10/2011 7:31:47 PM

Inspired by H8R.

H8r, can we get a semi-overhead view of the body? I bet it looks nuts lol

12/11/2011 12:02:26 PM

Swapped in some angel eyes with xenon projectors.

12/11/2011 1:05:58 PM

i swear to god, easiest of all tasks never ends up that way-

trying to run the 64 fairlane out of gas so i can drain and drop the tank to replace the sending unit for the gas gauge. i thought it only had a quarter tank left.

it seems this car gets terrific gas mileage! or refines its own fuel from the air? next time im just gonna let it sit and idle for god knows how long. i figured i would have gotten stranded today...

its time to put my engine in something

12/12/2011 7:06:44 AM

I'll have the passenger rear quarter finished in the next few days, just working around the fuel door at the moment

and nuts, is an understatement, to say the least

I'm very pleased

12/12/2011 9:36:27 AM

Passenger side, so far






wanted to wrap up the fuel door area first before I tackled the driver's side

this is basically what it looks like at the moment

Is that bondo or JB Weld on that fender?

I will reserve judgment until it is complete, lol.

12/13/2011 4:54:06 PM

don't look at the details yet, imagine the big picture.

12/13/2011 5:48:28 PM

I can imagine a big picture... of the fenders bouncing off at its first rallyx LOL

[Edited on December 13, 2011 at 8:03 PM. Reason : seriously though, I like it]

12/13/2011 8:03:10 PM

Hahahaha

Thanks

12/13/2011 10:22:34 PM

were you holding the welder with your elbows?

jk

12/13/2011 11:11:28 PM

What is this i don't even..

i am not good with computer welder

12/14/2011 9:04:21 AM

hey... i've used my weldbows a few times... leave the man be..

Seriously though... body work scares me, i will weld suspensions and components all day long... but sheet metal gives me the hebbie jeebies.

12/14/2011 10:52:07 AM

When in doubt add bondo

12/14/2011 6:28:59 PM

Definitely not worried about a little bit of bondo since when I cut the driver's side rear quarter off, there was at least a quarter inch of bondo under the paint.

It's a beater, not a show car, so no biggie.

12/15/2011 1:11:48 PM

nothing wrong with a little (or a lot) of bondo

12/15/2011 2:22:50 PM

Depends on how much chicken wire you had to use to hold it all together.

12/15/2011 2:27:56 PM

I am certainly not a professional and do not do this for a living.

Absolutely no chicken wire used in this build, though.

Not all of the welds are pretty, but it is welded. JB weld is used to fill in some of the gaps and bondo will be used. it will look... different when it's done, that's for sure.

12/15/2011 3:13:39 PM

One of my exhaust baffles fell out last night, probably on I-40 or Page road. So that's a goner

Just ordered a new one!

12/15/2011 3:39:01 PM

I'm excited to see how it turns out

12/15/2011 4:35:24 PM

I like the quiet of stock exhaust... but i want the flow of after market....


I think i may be doing a cut-out on my car...

12/15/2011 8:23:16 PM

My car has been getting dyno tuned for the past 2 days

12/16/2011 12:51:22 PM
