Update -

Car was down for a lil bit due to one of the two ignition coils going bad. Easy and cheap fix.

Been driving her everyday to work.



Got the 350Z rims mounted and balance last night. Picked up a used set of 18inch tires. All are 235 width. Lil big for the front but no rubbing issues with the suspension. Lil rubbing when the car is turned sharply.

Sorry ****ty night time cell pics.

Most likely warped rotor(s) but not cracked. You can have a machine shop turn them down for cheap as long as they are not too thin.

nice work looks good with the wheels with a little drop, i think you should leave the color alone or maybe powder coat it in a grey metallic color or something darker

Are you referring to ECT sensor (Engine Coolant Temp) # 89422-20010 ? Are you getting poor MPG now, that why the new sensor? Please let us know before/after MPG you get with new sensor.

You did the great job putting this car back together. I like the silver color too. Wish I had your skills and great attitude.
