Washed car, detailed, cleaned interior, rainx'd windshield, degreased and detailed engine bay. Imagine driving 30 miles over a dusty road every week for a year and never cleaning the engine bay. Now picture it like new

Also, cleaned the clutch slave cylinder, the part where the ball rod attaches to the arm. Instead of just using any grease to keep it from squeaking temporarily....I used energy suspension formula 5 prelube. I'm pretty sure I won't be needing to re-grease that area again BTW if this gets dirty you hear a squeak any time you press in the clutch.

^ um why did someone write down the oil amount on the support in pink?

tho i think you should remove the stock silencer box there as well to make it even cleaner just pull the bumper cover and its only like 3-4bolts holding it on and it will drop right down from the bottom. PLUS it will help get alittle cooler air under the hood as well.

I replaced the fuse for my amp so I could have bass again and in the process found that the 7.5 amp backup fuse slot has a 20 amp fuse in it for some reason. I feel too sick to go to Autozone so it'll have to wait.

I also sanded down the second rim in preparation for paint. At this rate, they'll be ready to paint in March.

well i just got done fixing the rattling in the passenger window, back speaker (fucckin screw was loose) , found another rubber mounting thing for the muffler (now it sits right and doesnt shake the whole damn car), tightend all the nuts and bolts on my brand new header, found an exaust leak (cant fix tonight because the nuts/bolts are rusted and i need to let some Buster soak on it for a bit), tuned my new speakers (they fucckin bump so hard it sounds like i got subs and its just 4 400 watt each speakers with mini subs. sounds nice) then i got bored so i went under the car and tinkered.
