Exhausted though. That 17mm nut on the strut gave me about 2 hours of problems

The only issue I had was with the 14mm on the backside for the sway bar. Fronts took a while the rear took a total of 15 minutes haha

I did shifter bushing and reverse lock out gate in class today during shop time. I like having diesel class again, full shop to do my mods in and get credit for it. I have time when I am in class to do the mods, I don't ever have time at home now.

Finally...
Put some Koni's upfront.


CP-E TMIC


CP-E CBE


And the man that made it happen, my brother Rae the mechanic....600 miles away in Cape Coral FL


No picture for this but he also installed the AutoTech internals. Interestingly enough the Koni's were the most difficult to install.

Tomorrow is the CP-E CDP install in my driveway. There will be frustration, tears and the occasional under car fetal position "whyyyyyy". I'm so static I can't sleep!

Took my car through a proper car wash (not that touchless BS) finally after a long hard winter. Looks great!

[G1sdaname]

So far I'm several hours into changing my CDP and 1) I can't remove the second oxygen sensor it's looking like it'll strip 2) I broke one catalytic converter support screw and that's after putting wd40.
Fetal position is a Go!

Corksport skid plate, aluminum ftw

[untitledav]

Installed Damond OCC Matt help me with install
It is a great product!!!!

[galens47]

Installed Roush axel back. Wow!

[speedfreak44]

Got gas

[Mercondar]

Damond RMM and a tank o gas!

[monkey.bones.007]

GC rear coilovers, minus the springs and seats because the subframe bolt to hold the seats on my 13 are too big. The plugs to hold the springs in the seat also didn't fit for the FML. GC is getting a call Monday. Ugh. Robert helped me big time at the damond meet big time.

tapatalk, it sucks for free.

[G1sdaname]

Finally im done, unfortunately CP-E sent me short bolts that connect the CDP to the Exhaust. One bolt is on and the other is hanging on for dear life. I'm going to Charleston from Atlanta early early morning and I couldn't wait to buy new bolts will have to do it while I'm there. Oh well.

Not the speed.. But started removing some damned spiders from the 84 z31 while the speed gets a new manifold made...

Fuck those spiders. Found 2 egg sacks and a few different types of spiders.. And that's just the passenger wheel well -_-

Washed my car after going to See Furious 7 at the drive in with @Strangel and @Sandman978. She got dusty as all hell. Then I decided to dip my girl's badges black. Had done the front badge white, but we thought black would look better, and it does! Finished up right before the rain started dumping down.

Decided to use a mask this time. No more pulling plasti-dip out my nose.

[Thepedigree13]

Installed JBR SSP and SSB. SSP was super easy. Bushing took about 25 minutes, left my needle nose pliers in my tackle box, in my buddy's truck. Pain in the ass getting the front most rubber bushings out with the pliers on my multitool.

Huge difference, by far one of my favorite mods since it enhances the entire experience not just the WOT shit.

Best part of the install is my pregnant girlfriend managing to wiggle her way into the passenger seat and assist me. When I start cussing she takes over lol.

[Blk_pu]

I DIY'ed that "Ti" look on my exhaust tips.

[speedfreak44]

Blow torch?

What a coincidence...wife has a silver altima 08' SE and I have a LSM genpu. I'll have to post up a pic later for further confirmation, hehe!

Haha! That's awesome.
Just gave in and got myself a vent pod gauge from RPM (VentPod Single Gauge Pod for Mazda 3 / Mazdaspeed 3 #EHP-MZ3-VP - Revolution Performance Motorsports!) and am now deciding on whether I go Prosport or Depo for a boost gauge.

Yes, you can have rolled tips AND that Ti look from UR and save monies!

[speedfreak44]

Going to try that when my exhaust is done.

[kaelin]

Bought my downpipe... not looking forward to the install though

[ButtholeRedMS3]

Just look at the how to threads. Air tools, extensions with wobbles, universal or two, pb blaster, gear wrenches, O2 sensor socket. Really not that bad if you take your time and have some beer

[kaelin]

Yeah I've been reading through them... I can get my hands on everything but air tools

[ButtholeRedMS3]

Air made the job cake

[kaelin]

If I get stuck I may just have to get ahold of @Mastertrixter;

Don't know what downpipe you bought, but make damn sure that everything will properly line up first. Get under there and take a peek. I don't want anyone here to end up in the situation that I'm in right now:

[MBalik]

Washed the car and switched back to my summer rims



Also drained my catch can. And holy shit is there a lot of garbage. Basically mostly water from what it seems. The container was full up to the bottom of my thumb

[KyleMS32010]

That looks delicious!

Thanks for the heads up. Ill Check it out before I get too deep

[boostedminime]

[speedfreak44]

Ordered the sots+ e85 tune. Hurry up stratified I have cars to beat...even worse

(Side note: I only ordered it about an hour ago I am just impatient for power lol)

Also brought home 16 gal of E for future fun

[liljae8]

Bought a fuel pump with Autotechs. I can't wait to install it. Any tips? Seems pretty straight forward.

[speedfreak44]

Just have all your tools laid out and ready. Keep things clean. Use rubber exam gloves. Do not go crazy with the oil when putting it in just a nice thin coat does the trick. Use eye protection the gas will squirt when the pressure is relieved from the line. Also, the zip tie trick works decently well. Don't make yourself go fishing for the pressure line nut.
