i outfitted the power steering with an fittings. the one on the pump had a little hole in the weld and leaked.

oh and i was trying to look thru the filler neck in the ps tank and see if i had enough fluid when i was bleeding the system, and next thing i know i had fluid all over my face. it was a literal "in your face"

By law it has to be whether aftermarket or factory, locked out when in drive from watching DVD, at least in the driver view.

Ohhhhh I bet, get them muscles working! I noticed with mine it has gotten easier I dont think I could drive this car with it now I feel like I would over correct. Plus it keeps other people from wanting to drive it haha

Washed and waxed both cars, basically took 12-14 hours. Waking up at 6am and heading to Irwindale raceway for Lexus Pursuit. gonna drag the Lexus and clean it again for the show portion. Vossen wheels are up for grabs if you win the raffle. But imma sell them and get some Works/Volks/Advans instead IF i win lol! Check it out if youre in the area. ITS FREE!

the power steering can, i had a shop shorten it, was leaking from the welds. i found that out after an hour of trying to bleed the system. I rigged the stock can with some push locks and she runs again.

Put the sub back in and hooked it up, the spoiler rattles some, gotta try to figure that out. Other than that, I'm sounding good (well, 300W RMS only sounds good in the car, not outside it, but who cares)!

Thanks figured they might look better than the stock color...but I haven't yet gotten around to changing the proportioning valve. I think its a dealer only item for a new one (correct me if im wrong) but I prefer a new one over going back to the jy and pulling it off the donor car

when the car goes back into paint it will be original color. before it was navi blue I just wanted to get it all cleaned up, car will be going back into paint in January since I have a 1yr warrenty on it and they fucked up a lot of shit, just look at the rear bumper, hell they didn't give me the brakets to bolt on the rear bumper properly and I just picked them up as well at the JY

I thought you was going to keep it black. How about the mirrors they going to be color matched?
10-18-2011, 06:51 PM
finald8ta

mirrors will stay black, looking at the gas door and I'm changing my mind, it will be color matched. thought I like it black but it throws the color sceme off

Took the car in for MD state safety inspection...I need a driver's side fog light bulb and two rear tires. That's it!! Problem is, I won't pass if I put the new wheels and tires on, they are gonna have too much poke. So I gotta gets some used joints and run with that until I get it inspected. But hey, no serious issues.
