Installed Hawk HPS 5.0 pads up front, Duralast pads in the rear, Napa rotors all around, and flushed/bled the old brake fluid with new Amsoil fluid. Also installed new exhaust hangars.

Repainted my hood and a bad spot on my front bumper with the help of a good friend of mine, will have to get some pictures up tomorrow of it.
Changed my oil, K&N oil filter and Valvoline synthetic.
Test fitted IL radiator and fan kit, which doesn't work.

Time to give that gauge hood a refresh!Originally Posted by Corifto
I understand what you went through phat, I have the beatrush rear tooThat was a pain to tighten those bolts and the brace. If you have adjustable shocks there's no way your fingers are gonna be able to grasp and turn the knob on the top hat so I used a damper extender for that particular corner. Easy adjustment!
Today pulled the intake apart, sprayed the intake pipe wrinkle black, changed from blue to black hoses, cleaned the throttle body (so much oil came out), afm and air filter. changed to new speakers (morel maximo 6.5 coax) with foam speaker baffles.
cleaning throttle body makes a big difference huh! i could feel at least 5whp on the butt dyno
Loving all of this, thanks for the heads up on the adjustment tool, that is really trick man!!!!!
Got anymore info on the speaker baffles?

no worries phat;)
speaker baffles from here
so easy to mount new speakers with as they fill the gap between doors and speakers easily, and double up as a rain guard too so no water damages your speakers.
I used those when I put the Hertz in my doors, and they really improved the sound quality!

Mocked up an adapter from plexiglass for my KGWorks rvm, to make some measurements. Final version will be machined aluminum, and the mirror will be centered.
Been thinking about this for a while, the shifter boot in Rooster is getting a bit worn at the top edges so today I ordered a black one with EUNOS logo in red embroidery along with a parking brake boot with Roadster also in red embroidery. If it is too red and not LE Red I'll send them back. They got to look good or they will not go in the car. I'm almost scared to do much of anything to this car trying to keep it true to it's history.
No pics but i just finished replacing my window guides. And also installed garagestar door bushings

I painted the wheels and valve cover and buffed the whole car yesterday.
Remove EGR pipe, since it was cracked. Turned from a frustration to a very nice dad-son happening.
