Thanks guys. I was going to drive it today but we got hit with some white stuff. I would rather play in the Expedition with the snow tires.

[Demon I Am]

oh-hoho! be glad as fuck you didn't drive it in today. I about lunched mine twice on the way in to work.
Now I'm stuck in Chapel Hill

Sorry to hear man. Yeah, I looked out the window this morning when I woke up and saw the light dusting and I said no thanks. I don't trust the tires I have on there right now to be driving in it. I was going to Steven's on Sunday and just the light puddles would shimmy the rear.

I'm going to hang out til noon and hope the roads empty out a little bit.

I may work from home tomorrow. But I kinda like playing in the white stuff with the Expedition. As long as I am the only one on the road.

Unfortunately, that's rarely the case

Small update. I have driven the NB the past few days and after a couple of hundred miles, I have not seen a leak coming from the valve cover! YAY! I can still smell the paint when it's warm but the smell decreases each time I drive it. Car feels a little more responsive possibly because of the wire and plug change. The other wires pretty much disintegrated when I pulled them off so who knows what was going on in there. Going to drive it some more and enjoy it until I buy whatever comes next. Who knows.

So I pulled the AGXs off of the car. I got a smoking deal on some lightly used MSM Billies. Tony (Demon I Am) and I attempted to install these and for some reason, it was a pain in the ass. The Billies were significantly longer than the AGXs and for the life of us, we couldn't get the fronts in. Enter Pyromonkey. Dude was a champ. Got all 4 in and dropped it off of the stands. Tony and I didn't mess the alignment up too bad so I took it to McNair Performance in Raleigh and got it aligned. Car is a bit higher (Started at 13.5 but has since come down to 13) but handles like a champ. I absolutely love them. I will get pics of the finished product as I didn't take any pics while installing. I also changed my fuel filter and got a lovely gasoline shower. Sucked. Ass.

Just got new rubber protectors for the hardtop feet and the little screws that go on the cap. I also threw on a new universal rubber seal on the bottom of the hardtop that sits on the car. I think I am pretty much going to leave the hardtop on from now on. I also bought GarageStar side brackets. I will probably be parting with my bikini top here shortly. The hoist may be next as well. Love how quiet the car is though with no wind noise coming in from the openings.

Will try to get pics up later today.

Ok. So now here's the pics of what I did.

You can see the top sits a bit higher because of the seal. As long as it's sealed, I'm good.



Here are the GarageStar Hardtop Side Brackets. Picture sucks but you get the idea.



Also was able to get the little screws that keep the hardtop feet cap closed.



And then I picked up some Eclipse Vents. Here a few shots.

Open.



Closed.



Here are the center vents.



Tires are next on my list to get done but that will take a couple of months. Other than that, it's just drive it.

So Zach was finally starting to part ways with some parts. Was able to get the AEM short ram from the 10AE. Now a part of the Blue Lion is with mine.

Before:



After:



A whole lot of shine on it. That's it for now. After seeing Jamie's GarageStar braces, it has me thinking.
