Where you order your pistons from? I've been on wiesco site and can't figure it out for shit but brand doesn't matter to me...figure I will need to do pistons at some point

Sea foamed in 1/3rds, cleaned the TB and made a license plate bracket. Not sure how I feel on the placement but it's solid.

I painted the door handles a while ago and still not 100% sure how I feel about it.

Paint the handle itself black too, looks a little random to me. Might be better if there is more as an accent

Do you have the front jacked up or it horribly sits like that?Quote:

My phone is level when I took the picture.
Also the driver side of the car sits about 3.5 inches higher than the passenger side..
I like the placement!Quote:

even if it was even left to right when it was layed the ground moves all the time. 3.5 is a pretty big difference but if the place is old and the ground is soft...or in a really hydrated area with a lot of water flow thatll do it too
if you go into your house and look at your door frames you can see what I mean, they wont be perfectly square any more because of how the foundation twists over time.
Nah haha something would have to be pretty messed up if that were the caseQuote:

Then I cleaned the TB with TB Cleaner and will change the plugs and oil this week.
Unfortunately/fortunately I found oil in the plugs, so I'll have to get a VC gasket kit. Also found that my exhaust mani has a leak as white smoke plumed out when I did the sea foam, so there's another gasket to replace.
I'd love to throw on a new header while I'm at it, but I shouldn't be spending too much right now and I'd prefer long tubes.
Either way, it hit 170,000 today and feels pretty good. I can't wait to get the body work done/painted.
I got my VRG rear and New-style sides installed. Rattle canned the skirts so they weren't so abstract lol Also cleaned her and changed the VC gasket. Reused my stock VC bolts for the 4th time because the "new" bolts are just too darn short they don't seem to work.

I didn't physically do anything with my car but I decided I'm gonna save up for another car to be my daily driver since I wanna make my current G a project car. I'm not sure yet if I'll get another cheap G or some other cheap car but I'm leaning toward another G cause why not?[emoji1]
Replaced the rear passenger wheel hub assembly today, driver side tomorrow. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...33e2b84ac9.jpg

New fuel pump install today
Inspired from 4-G-Rim installed a rear diffuser and bolted/welded the rear tow hook to the chassis.

I like the tow hook, been thinking about doing something since I have nothing. Did you bolt it to the rear crash bar bolts and then weld it on the side?
I used a tow hook bracket from an older model IS300, used a metal grinder to match the holes, bolt it on the crash bar, and weld the sides together. This would save more time if it were done at factory level but we know how Mitsu cut corners on this platform.Quote:

You pulled the whole carpet out for some coffee stains :087:, The only time it should be pulled is to replace it IMO.Quote:

I removed the carpet on the GTz just to wash it, the car was new to me and for the 400 I paid for it I wasn't about to drop half the price I got the whole car for on new carpet. Used dish soap, firm brush, lots of that grease that comes in an elbow and hit it with a pressure washer (electric). Came out brand spanking new. Once it was dry I got an old bottle of cologne and went to town, let it sit for a few hours before I actually put it back. I even did the trunk linings.
Difficulty level was maybe a 3 out of 10 for everything.
My neighbor came home and parked her car, she a milf. Ain't gonna lie, I'd hit it. Anyway, She asked if I was gonna be able to it it all back together. I looked at her, let her know that she can pick out any panel from the bunch and I'll tell her where it goes and how it goes and what screws to use from the cup I had them all in.
^^^ lol I need to give my car a deep clean now that winter is mostly over and get all the salt and mud build up out of the carpet, just need the time to do it.

it's attached to the is300 bracket so it detachable. It's mainly to tow your car out if stuck in the mud/snow/lake. No towing capacity it wasn't designed for that kind of use.Quote:
