Installed the front camber kit...kind of a pain in the butt...but got it done Alignment friday so I can stop thrashing the front tires.

 

Today (well yesterday) I painted my valve cover a royal blue and it looks really good (first thing i ever painted!), Icleaned my air filter, and whileI was doing thatI found a hole in it so im buying another one...yea kinda wasted my time cleaning it still fun though,I also seafoamed it and got my ebay reverse glow gauges hooked those up..... incorrectly i might add (they didnt give me instructions!) all in all, it was a very productive day...new timing belt in the near future lets hope she makes it till then

 

o come on that is a easy job
strut to fork bolt, top strut nuts, top ball joint poped off with a fork and BFH and just 2 bolts up top and it drops out

you musta made it harder than it realy was.LOL
i replaced my one upper control arm/ball joint in about 15mins......

 

Yeah I made the 1st one harder than it should have been...second one was closer to 15min. I couldnt get the strut low enough to get past the upper control arm. Once I pulled my head out though the second one was easy....only extra thing I had to do was take off the upper strut bar...its not the convenient type that mounts to the strut bolts[&:] not that it was hard..just inconvenient.

 

Took off my front bumper and left fender to get a better look at the damage to my car. Core support is indeed screwed, going to need a new one. Re-filled my power steering resivoir and started up the car only to find that it was bogging and still making all kinds of noise when I turned the wheel... now there is a little white smoke coming from the tail pipe as welll... I think I'm phucked...

 

checked to make sure all 4 tires where there, nothing was broken, started it up, let it idle while i did my morning walk through on my company car and my wife's car, shut it off, locked it up, got in my company car and drove to work.

repeat process when I get home and turn car around to be facing out of spot

 

Pulled my gay-o ebay projectors off and swapped em out for some black housing crystal stockers with some silverstars.

I was so sick of taking my entire bumper off twice a month to re-aim the projectors I just ripped them out. Now I can see again, and much better then before.

I will upgrade to some quality projectors later in life when I get or think about getting an HID kit.

 

I put the front lower tie bar on it and figured out i need a car that isnt soo low, the tie bar hangs a little low for my liking, but inproves handling dramatically. went and got my pirelli nero zero 205/40/17 mounted...talked to a guy and selling my kumho 215 40 17 for 100 bucks (they still have a little life left in em) searched for my moms digital camera before realizing she had it with her, so no pics yet, but very anxious to take pics of the front rear strut bars, and lower tie bar, as well as new tires, and the progress of my front body kitredo. tomorrow i plan to paint the valve cover, not sure what color yet, the car is dark green, and my sri is a blue color, soo any input is nice and appriciated, i am thinkin blue because of the sri but i like red for them...i know i cant do red becuase a green car blue sri and red valve cover?

I gave it the ol' 1 2 with the soap and water, then sucked its guts out with the shop vac
