Well nothing today, but i loaned my engine to sleeperzx2 on sat. Pulled his engine, it had a bad valve tap, and replaced it with my engine. Gonna let him run that until he gets his engine rebuilt. Oh also fixed his drivers side ball joint, the shop that installed it stripped the pinch bolt, so it was loose.

Installed a new front transmission mount, a 21mm sway bar and also new sway bar bushings and end links front and back.

Installed a Ford Racing UDP and some new 4-2 header bolts.
I gave a few rides at the car club meet in Vegas. The car surprised both my friend Steven and a ZX2 owner I just met. Steven noted the car feels much like his dad's SVTF as far as power. LOL That made me all kinds of happy inside.

JJ · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2010, 10:43:06 PM »

Finished the rest of my interior.

Battyzx2 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 11, 2010, 11:37:19 PM »

i sand blasted most of the surface rust off of the fender mounting surfaces, and primered it. I am also preparing to install my interior. I will post pics in my project thread later.

morningstar2101 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:05:23 AM »

JJ · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2010, 11:33:18 AM »

Changed my steering wheel trim to charcoal to match the rest of the interior, was kinda lazy before and was avoiding doing it.

Battyzx2 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2010, 08:58:29 PM »

did some body work on my car, prepping it for the new interior and etc.

Escort91Man · « **Reply #24 on:** September 03, 2010, 11:13:04 AM »

painted a set of caymen rims all black, with 195/60 15 rubber, I love the grip of my 205/50 15's but I do a LOT of highway and I'd rather have the closer to stock tires so 60 mph needle is 60 mph actual, well with 195/60's it's more like 61 but that's better than 58.

so yeah, pics in the blue car's thread later today hopefully when I finish the 1 really chipped up rim. oh and I drove it hard, 50 around a recommended 20 on ramp, and it's flat not banked, started to loose some grip at the end
