it has been on hold for some time now was driving it around for the past 2 months but bought another car for the wife so pulled mine of the road for now. I did manage to disassemble my spare vq 3.0l so when i get the vq 3.5l. I can do the crank swap and make the 3.3l stroker. with 8 5 1 compression. still need the sub frame and trans for 3.5l nissan quest. So i can do the awd swap next. But its been going good.
So you're making it AWD too? Wow, good luck with that.

Working 5 days a week, school the other 2. It's tough to find time for the Alty in between with it getting colder and dark so early now. Hopefully this week I can pull my CAI off and start working on that shield setup.
So I painted my wheels flat black. When i get internet, I'll post a picture for you guys to gawk at
Btw, I'm in north Miami now. Previous landlord was a complete bitch.
Hopefully the paintwork came out good. I need to get some professional shots done of mine. But finding time to clean her around the weather is proving rather bothersome.
Good looks on moving away from a shitty situation. I'm sure all of us can relate to that.

NMB, i just left it, never again! but glad your in a better situation. black rims, i must say have grown on me. lets see those pics...
The wheels....what do you guys think? I was doing my brakes, and I was like, well, if I have the wheels off, I might as well sand and paint them. There is some overspray in some spots, but it's barely noticeable.
Yeah, the dumb bitch couldn't wait to be rid of me. On the 1st, I had came back by the house to pick up the rest of my stuff and help clean up the room, and I found my shit sitting outside by the door. She spoke little English (Her husband is in GA, so he wasn't there to delegate, but I felt she disliked me), so I thought better to pack my shit, drop off the key and leave. So many hateful bastards in Kendall, it's not even funny.
Oh, I got the car washed and I rattle canned the front bumper, rear quarter, and hood. I will post those later so you all can heckle me.
yeah, Kendall has some snobs. bunch of punks in Kendall anyways...my Brother used to tease me all the time when i lived on Kendall Drive back in the day. he hated Kendall and its character.

i'm in Sunrise, about 15 minutes away from NMB (Golden Glades Interchange) via the tunrpike.
let me look over my car 1st, hoping this weekend i can finally get a full inspection of my suspension and tweak a few things here and there done, before i start hitting spots.
i need to drop my passenger front a hair, my front driver rotor shield is loose, making rattling noise, i want to install some red plug wires i picked up, a red intake filter, along with better condition wiper arms i have sitting in the garage, i need to clean up my suspension, check it and install a bushing on my rear passenger endlink, it disappeared. no doubt because i over tightened it

The black looks much much better.
I used to live with a "friend" until I came home one night to a rant from her on FB saying she was pissed about X, Y, and Z and if I didn't plan on living there then she wanted me out the next day (next day was the first). She also said she was going out to the bar after work and not to try and text/call her. So I went and picked up the girlfriend and got up at 6AM when the U-Haul opened, (friend had gotten home at 3) and moved everything out that morning. I left the money I owed her which I had had on me but I wasn't gonna leave cash around as well as my key and I haven't talked to her since. I quote unquote ruined her birthday weekend and blah blah blah yet I heard from a few different sources how great of a time she had and they were going here, and then there, and how much fun they had.

I probably won't either. I picked up the secondary pipe because I missed my CAI setup from my 1g and it was an impulse buy. But now I miss the throttle response and want to see how I can make it affect my MPG.

Do yourself a favor and replace them in pairs. And either get a giant adjustable wrench or a 17mm hex key for the damper on top of the strut.
167k. Overheating started 4 days prior. Haven't driven it since I stopped at a shop to look at it. Going to get it now and baby it on the way home. I still have like 2 hours to go on the bus before I get there. They wanted 950 to resurface the heads and replace the radiator.
