No clue why... but I think that looks cool as hell. I'm weird like that, I guess.

 

thanks man!!!
might be getting my Kbreak bumper sooner than i thought, well see whats up. I'm back to full time at school and only 18 hours a week at work but well see if i can work some things out



oh yeah, about month ago I wore through my brake hardline underneath the car, i ended up cuttig the old line out and double flaring a new line in, so that fixed my leaking brake fluid issue!

 

i forgot to add this too:
I bought a radio from the junkyard a few months ago and its done nothing but sit in storage, well i decided to pull it out and throw it on my car, to my surprise the LCD is perfect!


I also finally replaced the crappy battery that came with the car when i bought it


New Moog tie rod's


and grinding some things for spacers, my specs now are 18x9.5 -10 and 10.5 -0, what are positive offsets?! lol. and for your information, my studs still exceed the whole wheel nut length.


and in the process of double flaring my brake hardlines.


honestly upnext is most likely going to be rack bushings and motor mounts!

 

2/18/15 update
Did my oil change, resurfaced my brake rotors and work, threw on some wagner thermoquiet pads, and washed the car after a night of wet session drifting haha gotta do the steering rack bushings and order my new front tires probably within this week. Serial Nine toe arms within this month as well, gotta get that rear alignment straight!

 

I had forgot you had a V8. I'm in the process also of doing maintenance work. tackling the coolant flush today.

 

i gotta do my coolant flush and fan switch too been lazy, lol
by the time summers hits i gotta do it though ended up finding another hold in my brake hardline, got that taken care of and my brake lines tucked up and away, i don't think my trans line is leaking anymore so all i gotta worry about is the oil pan gasket again. Until i buy new motor mounts the rear gasket will keep breaking from smashing onto the crossmember, but out of the 5 quarts or so i put int he car i pulled out 4.5 so im happy. yeah i forgot to add a quart last time oops. lol

 

You should grab the motor mounts from Sewell before they stop online ordering on March 1st.. I went a head and bought the mounts just to have and a few gaskets... probably will stock up on filters next week. They will honor all shipments they said until that date.

thanks do the DIY i found on lexis.com for the coolant flush it went pretty well... the block bolts were the hardest to get to... also did the tranny drain and fill 2qts... 8 or nine of those and i should have new fluid in there...

 

Nice work Paulo, keep it up! Super fitted
What exactly are you grinding for your spacer?

 

yeah im going to skip on the OE mounts for now, i don't have $300 to spend on that unfortunately. through my work, anchor motor mounts with lifetime warranty are $100 for the whole set with my discount so im going that route just because if i hit a hard enough dip, im sure ill blow up the motor mounts like i did my SC400 and i have fresh transmission fluid in the car, i had a trans fluid leak and would always fill up. im sure there is no old fluid in there anymore, ran the transmission dry the first time i did my oil pan gasket because it was leaking from the radiator trans line. so all new fluid then and new fluid again when i did my radiator a few months back. only fluid that needs to change is the coolant and power steering pump and rack.

Danny, I was grinding the stock studs because they were too long and kept the wheel from mounting onto the spacer, its perfectly safe though because on my nut i have all threads threaded through. We just grinded the excess thread poking passed the nut.

 

with our discount from Sewell all 3 mounts where $136 I think . mine still looked good but you never know with the visual test. no weird shaking from the engine.

 

for my 400 its 98.72 a piece for each motor mount, trans mount is 65

 

yup looks like I forgot to order a engine mount. stupid me lol

 

I got bored and had pin stripe tape laying around, spice things up a tad.

 

Lovely ride mate.
