Ring around the rosie and other maintenance

On Saturday, I replaced the headlight rings (god, zstore ships sooooo damn fast, got in like a day and a half of ordering) because BOTH rings failed on me and were bouncing around all crazy while i was driving at night. It was so bad I had to not drive the car for a couple days. I also replaced the window channel felt strips, which were totaled out when i got the car (the driver's window would be quieter while halfway open than closed.

In terms of non maintenance stuff, I test fitted one front flare.

Fat lip and the bling

On saturday of last week, i put my front lip on (with the helping hands of chris i. and corey). It fits well, but i need to put some bracing in. I also replaced some of the fuel hose going betweeen the pressure reg and the fuel rail.

On friday, I got brand new c pillar emblems from Aileen :].

Tension back home

Today I put my zccjdm tension rods in. They're nice and sturdy and have plenty of adjustability. I did a quick throwtogether alignment just to have the wheel centered. I will get it actually aligned when I put together the rest of the sus.

Out of Control Speed

Today i replaced the speed sensor cable that broke on me a couple weeks ago. My solid diff mount, transmission crossmember bushings, and zcc tension rods came in. Just waiting for a couple more things to work on the sus.

Between now and the prevous post, i got a pressure reg and dialed in the fuel pressure.

One up steering

Got a new(er) steering wheel, its a Momo mod7 with copper spokes.

Don't touch the mustache

Today I had the day off so I decided to work on the mustache bar bushings, since its supposed to be a relatively tame install. It wasn't too difficult, just had to undo the bolts to the diff, frame, and a couple other things and it popped off. The old bushings had to be burned out, which was kind of a pain in the summer heat.

Predictably, it's reduced some driveline slop

The yard

Today i scored a pair of s12+8 calipers and a rear review mirror that doesnt have a broken flange
