What have you done to your car today?

[hijacka]

hopefully get better air temps now, and hopefully i can sleep now as well lol

[nztintin]

Have you increased your scoop and air shroud size? you wont see much better air temps until then, in fact they will probably get worse, mine did untill i put a bigger scoop and shroud on.

Spent the weekend:

* Changed motor oil + oil filter

* Changed rear diff and transmission fluid (yuck.. can\'t ever get the smell out of the garage)

* Changed spark plugs

* Installed solid front sway bar end links

Annoyances, workshops who use rattle guns torqued too high to do up drain plugs..

almost wrecked my back trying to get it off even with a 350mm breaker bar.

Well docummented that the sump bolts on the transmission are done up stupidly tight... recently done mine, needed my 1m breaker bar on the end of the socket lol

It\'s well documented and easy with a soldering iron!

It facing downwards made it a 2 man job.

One person to hold the socket in place, another needed to kick the end of the breaker bar!

The rear diff was easier, just hung the breaker bar and used a jack to break it loose.

Have them all back to proper torque as per shop manual. Hopefully it won\'t have the same problem in future!

I can live with no clock, maybe one day when I can be bothered

[max.]

Gave my younger brothers GF2 a birthday, 4 new struts, new gear stick surround, and a interior door handle. Also on my GC8 got rid of the maf using a 75mm pipe i found at strongs and got rid of some redundant sensors. Also got some new radiator hoses from luxury sports nice thick silicone piping but the blue has made my engine bay look ugly i reckon :-\ need to tidy up some wire routing and stuff as well kinda need to pull it off the road for a week or so but im using it as my daily at the mo.

V7 STi intercooler? How did you get it to fit? I talked to SAS about fitting the one I have and he said it would involve some cutting of stuff

[boon]

Drove it home from the fabricator :D

Damn it feels good to drive something that\'s not 7ft tall and wobbly. Even if it\'s currently untuned so I didn\'t even get it into the boosty boosty.

Looking forward to that feeling myself. Sometimes forget what I\'m driving and go flying into corners. Entertaining at times. ;D
