Replaced spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor
Changed rear diff fluid
Change transmission fluid
Found oil in spark plug 5 and 6
Now I got to figure out where it's coming from
On a good note
SHES RUNS GREAT!!!!. Last pic is right before replacement
replaced the brake master/abs unit yesterday, now I don't have soft pedal anymore just one question, after I correctly bleed the brake and went for a drive, the pump comes on every second time I step on the brake for about 10secs, is that normal? my old one used to come on every 3rd time I step on the brake.
took a stab at my driver side ac servo that sounds like poo... I didnt get the servo off all the way but i cleaned some hair off the arm and greased more of it. I dont hear the gerbil sound anymore but I didnt drive far. I moved the track off than back on. Hope it did something lol
I did a headlight restoration. The headlights were slightly faded when I got it. I tried using just Plasti-x polish but it didn't do to much. I had the sand paper and clear spray left over from doing my LS so I spent a couple hours (and a few beers) and just knocked it out. They look a heck of a lot better. I didn't think to take a picture before I started but I got a picture when they were about half way done and then afterwards.

that unit was possibly bad , it shouldn't be doing that. I just did the bmc swap , it brakes great , no buzzing no nothing
Did a little more basic maintenance: replaced the air and cabin air filters. I can't believe they both have such quick and easy access, especially the engine air filter, it's ridiculous how easy it is to check and replace. Even the cabin air filter is easier than my wife's 03 Accord; at least I don't have to completely empty the glove box to get it done.
A few days ago I did a CRC MAF cleaner MAF cleaning to try and help out the common driving hesitation I've experienced and read about, with little result. Measured my MAF resistance which came out low, so gonna go and pick one up tomorrow.
Spending $500 on a new OEM power steering pump for this freak-old car just wasn't jiving, so I scored a used GS430 PS pump from eBay for $75. It works great. No more loss of steering at idle and no more leaks!
Bought a C-One strut bar off of a CL member and tried to test fit today. I was aware of the fitment issue against the fuse box. I'm not too worried about this since that extra bit can be cut off but I did not realize I would be blocking off the engine oil cap as well. Any suggestions on what to do here? The bolts from my coilovers have a lot of exposed threads but i don't think running a stack of spacers under the bar would be a good idea.
Added a JVC double DIN along with some 4" Kicker speakers in all the doors. The stock speakers weren't too bad but the radio was acting all goofy. They are cheap now and it's worth having bluetooth, USB, and playing Pandora/Spotify.
Also switched out the door lock actuators on both front and rear passenger side. I initially tried the to just replace the motors but ran out of luck with that. Found a guy on eBay that has them professionally rebuilt. I got both shipped for $260. Much easier than having to deal with the rebuild them.
Took off the goofy trailer hitch that was on the car as well.
Here is a quick pick of the radio. It will probably need a sub eventually but it's good enough for now.
I put in a blower motor and th blower motor resistor. Im still not getting any air coming out of the vents. I can hear the "servo" working but nothing is coming out.
