    And on another note: I returned from my "Post work, check that I didn't fuck anything up" Test drive.

    I currently have ALL the A/C components removed from under the hood and my Power steering belt is removed.

    Holy butterscotch fuck does the engine rev faster now. The steering felt "different" but not better. Heavy but vague. Which will prompt me to get Polyurethane steering rack bushings and weld up the Steering rack.

    Okay. Urpdurt. My right rear caliper was seized and I Installed an AutoZone caliper and the seal blew out while bleeding it. I got bought another better caliper and all is well.

    Very well.

    These are by far the best brakes that I've driven with. My tires are the only thing keeping me from using their maximum potential.

    One thing I noticed about the Hawk HP+ in EVERY single review that I read Was how loud they were.

    I don't have that issue. At all actually. Only SOMETIMES when slowing down from 5 mph will they squeal quietly. (They squeal louder now after a couple of weeks, but I don't care.)

    I LOVE the brake dust. Because that means that the brakes are doing the job of stopping your car and not keeping the Damn wheels Clean.

    Welllllll then.

    It turns out my ECU took a dookie. So $50 later and all is good.


    .....After spending the money on:

    A new denso fuel pump and sock
    New fuel filter
    New fuel pressure regulator
    And a new Crank angle sensor. My old one was almost chewed off by the belt. so I just got a new one and zip tied it out of the way.

    I also got a new head unit.



    Its a JVC KD-R960BTS.

    Its a pretty good deal for what I wanted. Plus the color of the display can be changed to match the Mazda Green.

    And I can FINALLY charge my phone.

    And yes, I need a steering wheel.

    That will come after my seat and harness. So I don't die bumping into the state puff marshmallow man's ass.

    I just installed my Wilwood prop valve.

    Nifty.

    I still have to fine tune it a bit but its working great so far.

    I'm in the market for a new battery and some cheap new tires so I can get rid of the dry rotted Primewells and shitty Falken 912's.

    I'll add a pic tomorrow.

    Tired.

    Just installed these GarageStar Delrin door stoppers.

    These are the shit. Most of the interior rattles are gone, especially from the doors. My car feels stiffer and doesn't feel like Scotty's in the passenger's seat yelling 'SHE CAN'T HOLD IT CAPTAIN!' as I take it around a corner at 35mph.

    The only drawback st that the doors are a bit harder to close. (For me at least, even after adjusting them.)

    But I don't care because I'll just put down my purse and close them harder.
