I should have some more time this coming weekend in the garage. I'm not sure what exactly I'll be working on yet, but I'll figure that out soon.

7.9.11 Update

I started the day by picking up my fuel rail and Gude 58mm throttle body from the local guy who powdercoated them. I had them done in satin black and they turned out great.

After I figured out my issue with the TB spring, I took everything out to install in the car.




The next thing to do was install my Mishimoto Carbon Fiber oil catch can. I decided to install it along the firewall where the windshield washer fluid tank used to be. I used two self-tapping screws to mount the bracket to the wall. I have a section of hose to connect my CFM PCV block off plate to the catch can. I just need to get another section of hose to connect the can to the intake manifold.





The last thing I worked on today was my inner turn signal housings. My father glued the back plates onto the housings earlier this week. I bought a can of satin black paint and put two coats on the housings. The last thing I need to do to them is epoxy the lenses back in place.

The housings with the back plates glued together before paint.

Lenses test fitted to the housings.

One last thing to post today. I thought this shot looked cool.
