Tell me about it dude, my SC all black leather interior + no tint = oven on wheels

It also doesn't help that my AC isn't working. I charged it up with my old work's machine (used to be an auto technician) and it worked amazing for that evening. Went out the next day and it was back to blowing out hot. Now when I turn just my fan on it acts erratically. Goes from full blast to low, and back and forth.

No idea whats up with it. All I can say is that if my windows didn't roll down, I'd be parking her for a bit. lol.

That's weird, my climate control was acting funky too but it fixed itself today. Before my heater would blow cold air opposite of yours. But as I was installing a double din, I connected everything back; climate, hazard, etc. then I turned on the heater to see if the problem went away and it did. I originally thought it was my heater control valve, not that I need heat at this time of the year, but I'm OCD like that and needed to fix it.

Between last night and tonight I managed to get one engine mount out and a new one back in...waiting to be tightened tomorrow night. Other side mount is loose and ready to come off. Holy crap, this is turning out to be the most difficult thing I've ever had to do on any of my cars. I am used to Subaru and the more I work on my SC the more I appreciate my Legacy,

Nice! I had a Legacy (NA 06') that I sold then got the SC300. You got that right about the EJ engines being easier to work on not sure about reliability tho

Waiting to get it back from the shop, as I have been to busy to change the timing belt and such, so I have allowed some one else to touch my baby!

Default Engine & Trans mount

I finished my engine and transmission mounts. I included a pic of the old vs. new. The old ones weren't cracked or anything, but notice how collapsed they are compared to the new. I am so happy with the outcome, it really is a night and day difference. No more vibrations - engine revs smooth as silk once again and the sound is so much better. Car is back on jack stands as of this evening patiently awaiting a new timing belt.

Took pics at the pump on my 370Z Enkeis before I swap them out for my new agressive staggered wheels

They are just black universal bucket seat covers. I bought a two pack made by Dickies at WM for around $20. They look great, they fit well, and they are cheap, which is exactly what I was looking for. I tucked the sides behind the seat controls and it hasn't come lose or blocked anything at all. I bought these specifically because I've had them in another car for a year and they have been excellent. I don't remember if they have tan versions or not but if you are just looking for seat protection look no further. When It stops raining I'll get a picture for you.
