What happened?

 

Kept her clean and dry in the garage today, got our first snowfall of the year ... pple forgot how to drive, many accidents out there.

 

With me? Surgery on my face/mouth to reconstruct damage of impacted wisdom teeth and damage to molars and gums. Then had my wisdom teeth cut out

 

Alright ive finally had a chance and time to install my christmas list from ...last christmas. KYB f/r struts with vogtland springs, Progress rsb, es rtab,sbb, moog end links(much beeffier than stock) moog r series lca's and inner/outer tie rods,6th gen bbk, Cattmann headers (lined with Easwoods internal ceramic coating) fastcat and 3'' exhaust.

 

vogtland springs?
are they a high end brand?

 

Get better!

 

Oil smell has been getting stronger and stronger
recently. Opened the hood and saw the front valve cover is seeping oil and burning up.

I thought the a block seal was leaking so at least that's somewhat good news.

 

Awaiting parts I ordered this week!!!!

 

Fixed my passenger front door so it could be opened from the inside. When you pulled the inside handle, it only came out about half way. Turns out a piece of the handle broke off and was keeping the handle from moving all the way.

I couldn't see where it broke off from, but I didn't dissemble the handle assembly. I just hope that the whole handle doesn't break apart now.

 

Removed the visor that goes over the front of the sunroof, cleaned the area, used a pocket knife to open up the two little drain holes a little more, and replaced it.

A little while back I repaired the joint in the exhaust line that's by the right rear wheel for the second time. $3 for a clamp plus some exhaust tubing left over from previous projects on other cars and a little quality time with a MIG welder and my almost 13 y/o Max has the nice little growl it should have had all along.

Try this one.

 

Over the weekend I replaced the radiator and front motor mount, which was very easy to get to with the radiator out. Also the upper and lower radiator hoses, drained the tranny fluid and replaced the upper radiator mount bushings. I also removed 3 locking lug nuts with missing key thanks to some help on the forum. All it took was a 3/4 inch socket and a hammer and they turned right off. My new rear struts and springs came in the mail, so I swapped those out as well. Went with the Monroe quick strut and that was a super easy job, less than an hour.

 

Parked the max for good till income taxes come aroundgot me a loner car from my uncle

 

^^^^ he told me to pick it up friday,but it's on jackstands because it needs rear tires(shocker) yeah also two fuel injectiors....ls6

 

threw the lip on today

 

Tein H Tech springs installed. Also, she needs a good bath

 

Install NWP Engine torque link bracing kit, need to take a spin to see if I can feel a difference....NWP 75mm big bore throttle body kit next on my list for next week!

 

 

Harbor freight tools all way bro!

 

No? creeper, 3 low profile jacks, extra set of all sockets, and extra set wrenches. They work good as any of my other tools though.

 

What you doing to you car?
I gotta be careful walking into that store..... I like to buy stuff just because it's cheap.... Even if I don't need it... Lol

 

Axles, lots of little things, bushings, end links things like that. Clean up all the grease and build up. Brakes. The pidly crap

 

the sweet sweet sound of a vq

 

Not smart dude!... What if a kid ran out in between one of those cars..... These kind of videos won't get you far here at all!

 

Coming thread attraction - I had to get my '02 6-speed Max out of impound




N

 

Maybe the kid shouldn't run out in the street, round here I don't have to yeild to stupid people running in front of traffic with no cross walk and without looking for cars...

 

Even if what you claim is true, I think in most places you lose any right of way when you're in the process of breaking traffic laws.



Never mind that WOT in a residential neighborhood with cars parked on both sides of the street is getting close to reckless driving.

Keep this thread clean boys... we are not here to debate who did what and why it was dumb. Yes posting your illegal stuff on you tube is dumb, but that is on the person that posted it.


WE ALL KNOW STREET RACING IS STUPID AND KILLS, but at the same token most of us spiritly drive all the time and know it.

 

Finished wiring the emanage and wideband

 

FIXED.

 

^^ It's not illegal unless you get caught.




Oh, I now have yellow fogs and they looked awesome during the rain/snow/fog last night.

 

She is with the mechanic :c

The CV joint boot tears up and it started to make noises by the lack of grease.

Also, I bought a vacuum line trying to fix the vacuum leak in my VIAS system but the diameter of it it's a little wider and it's loose. Damn!

 

Look at another 02 Maxima... Its in the shop right now. Owner is a fool. Thought his oil leak would be fixed by pouring in more oil, to bad he has a power steering leak. Oh but wait, there's more! Lets fix the power steering leak by putting oil (yes engine oil) in the power steering reservoir....

 

Thanks for the public service announcement norm.

 

Replaced my starter. The hardest part of the whole thing was reprogramming my stereo.
