well since my account was froze out for about a month or so. the last few weeks have been fun,
lets see, I am still struggling with the headlight delining. every time I think I sanded it well enough I polish and poof more scratches and usually not the ones I sanded out, lol, its like a bad game of hide and seek. any advice would be helpful I assume.
Power steering went to crap. actually my pump siezed up and the belt was slipping over it :/ made for a rough few hours trying to find a replacement before work, also, I wanted to make this known. I did the OLT trick with the valve on the PS line with the oil drain bolt, and poof half of my problems were ficed (idle is now stable....well sorta).
still chacing my tail with elecrtical gremlins. it seems I blow out a ignition coil every other week, and yes its always the driver side one. codes are erratic and I even have two codes not listed anywhere. So I am assuming the ECU is dying soon. other issues related are nonresponsive TPS's, both of them do nothing ever, I adjust and adjust and get the multimeter to confirm they are right but nope, just wont work. in facft the only electrical sensor working is the maf, lol/.
thats it in a nutshell. Ill get back on later to display my projects as they complete. doing a KA tranny swap, interior repair, and a few other off projects currently. but as its my dd I take it slow

Just wreaked my baby about 3 weeks ago. Head on collision, almost avoided it but wasn't quick enough... Bent the frame 1/2" gotta replace the hood, front bumper, side panels, etc. no real damage to the engine or anything under the good according to the mechanic. What do you guys think?

I tried getting my single exhaust put on, but the SC300 never made it through the driveway to the muffler shop because it's too low. And my car isn't even slammed...
