Perfect weather today hope I don't get bothered. Lot to do!

transmision mount
Spark plugs
Differential fluid
Belt, tensioner and pully kit
Ordered motor mounts but they only shipped 1 so waiting on the 2nd to arrive. Guess I'll do that when I do my brakes soon.

Guess I'll need to do valve cover gaskets too. 6 of 8 plugs were swimming In oil. Thought the plugs would of been harder but swivel sockets and 4 different length extensions made it cake. S and F bombs avoided. HeH

The roller pulley out edge teeth were worn to the pulley. When I put the new one side by side I thought I had the wrong at first. Because of the heavy wear the tooth count looked wrong at first. That's probably where the belt slipped. Tensioner pulley seemed fine but did it anyway since I had it.

Sold my 18s and bought some Maya RT5s. They need some love but I'm not complaining I practically stole them from the guy I bought them from.

So I had just sold my wheels and I'm sitting at chipotle eating a burrito and I'm browsing on South FL Sales and I see the post. Bro when I tell you I finished my burrito I hauled *** straight to this dudes house because a lot of people were commenting.

Tried doing the $5 aux plug modification. Didn't quite go to plan, likely due to my ****ty soldering iron + skills :P

At least I get my iPod working through the drivers side speakers (for now, already ordered a bigger aux plug that should be easier to solder)
