9.25.99 - Modification
logbook opened. This will begin to fill in as soon as I get home and begin to work on the
car again. Currently I am still stuck in Okinawa Japan, and reduced to dreaming up new
things to do. Modifications to date can be viewed in the table on the My Ride page. |
1.15.00 -
Installed Harada Power Antenna. |
1.20.00 -
Window tinted to 20%. This is dark enough to make a difference, but not so dark as to get
pulled over every night |
1.22.00 - Had
the new Enkie "Teardrop II" alloy wheels installed |
1.28.00 - Rebuilt
front suspension, replaced upper strut mounting plates, installed Sprint Strut Tower
Brace. |
2.1.00 - Turbo
Fiasco continues. I am still waiting for the turbine housing of my used Garrett T3 to
arrive. I received the compressor, bearing housing, compressor and turbine wheel,
somewhere around December. The seller promised to send the remaining pieces. I am still
waiting. |
2.26.00 -
Installed my new Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch. The old one was about to go. It had
been slipping for two weeks. It was not too difficult to install, but I can see why
mechanics charge $300 for it. We had to disassemble the majority of the engine bay. When
we had everything back together, and I took her out for the test drive it was immediately
apparent why everyone recommends these clutches. It is very smooth with a lighter pedal
feel than stock. I cant wait until I get it broken in. |
3.16.00 - Today my Accel Thundersport 300+ wires arrived from JC Whitney. Nice
bright yellow. The old plug wires have seen 98,000mi. so it is time to upgrade. They are
about as simple a install as you can get. |
