Thought it would be cool to see what everyone is up to with their cars . I spent this morning changing the oil, doing an ATF drain/fill and replacing the cabin & engine air filters. Wally-World was selling 5 qts of conv. 5W-30 Castrol GTX for $16 so I just picked it up along with a Purolator PureOne filter at Advance Auto Parts for like $5.50. For the ATF, I just stuck with boring old Matic D.

 

Tinted the side mirror turn signals

 

2 days ago i installed a new slave cylinder myself used a beck arnley part and the quality of the part looks just as good as oem and i bleeded my slave cylinder today. since i spilled a lil brake fluid in some spots i decided to degrease my whole engine so i sprayed purple power all over my engine bay then sprayed it with a hose and got alot of grease and dirt looks clean now and i speed waxed my engine cover since it was painted the little caps when dirty on any car bothers me and the bottles now they looks new

 

Took the hideous sunroof deflector off my black beauty.

 

Finished up my custom heatshield for the intake, and ordered some Zaino to put on it this coming weekend.

 

I also attempted to vinyl wrap my side mirrors in gloss black but it was too cold outside and couldnt get all the wrinkles out so I delayed the project for warmer weather.

I also ordered some LED license plate bulbs and chrome rear turn signal bulbs. Ordering a 4300k morimoto HID kit for the fogs soon as well.

 

Coulda swore we had a huge multi page thread for this already ..

there was, but nobody seems to be able to find it now.

 

i washed the underbody of my car with soap by spraying it with my soap dispenser **** and i washed my car, clay barred it and then i wax it with meguiars tech wax.

Did the ghetto air box mod yesterday afternoon. Didnt do the coat hanger version, just drilled the holes in the air filter holder. Added a nice little sound, cant tell much of a difference on the butt dyno, though!

 

Installed some Eibachs to go with the Ichiba spacers (20mm front/25mm rear)

 

Cleaned all the pollen off of it. My Maxima was completely yellow when I left work this afternoon. LOL

 

Installed heated mirrors and dash on 3rd gen. This weekend will put on e36 lights, fogs, brakes and then mess around with 4th gen.

 

New shoes. Also warp speed Y pipe.

 

Radiator sprung a leak, replaced it yesterday. Also replaced the alternator while the radiator was out. With 240K on the car I figured the alternator was going to be giving it up soon anyway.

 

I installed new euro diamond cut clear headlight housings and changed out my clear parking light bulbs to amber. Much better look.

changed the oil, and dropped the transmission pan, also cleaned the screen

 

And as moderators, we can see who deleted what and when. Still can't find it.

 

On Sat, Had my precats gutted, nonfoulers installed and the failing flexpipe replaced.

 

Over the weekend:

Replaced the front valve cover gaskets and sealed it nice and good with RTV sealant. I recommend using the sealant because it still leaked after I replaced it 2 nights before. Need to do the rear on another weekend.

Also replaced my original cat with 347k miles on it. didn't look clogged but my car is happier with the new Magnaflow from Warpspeed.

Next weekend:

2 new Illuminas go on the rear.

 

Replaced 2 burned out brake light bulbs on my 97. Car has 5 brake lights bulbs total, so I still had brake lights.

But that's pretty good. My car was made in Dec of 1996 and those were original bulbs, so that's 16+ years.

 

Sold it. The white 4th gen thats driving away is mine. Well used to be mine. Gonna miss her.

 

Installed new spectre cone air intake. I believe its called a pop charger. Took off the stock air box and just replaced it with a new open cone filter. Love the bark noise now!
