My "Things to Do in 2009" list
Because I keep losing track of shit I need to tidy up in the car I'll just make a list for the spring time or whenever the #### it gets warmer.
1. sunroof - most likely off track, complete disassembly and figure out some way to fix the rust
2. thermostat - overcooling
3. upper and lower radiator hose - replace
4. tranny pan - leaking, most likely from warping after getting it smashed in when the CV joint went
5. replace driver side axle
6. hatch struts - won't stay up in cold anymore
7. tire - leaking air...AGAIN
8. passenger fender - needs a new one after fender bender
9. corrosion control - underbody rust
10. driver side door - creaks like a bitch when opening
11. floor mats - need to buy some
12. gauge cluster lights - fix or replace
13. brake pads - need new ones at 85k miles
14. FP manifold - fix rust, call Swaintech for coating
15. 850cc injectors - RCE for flow test and cleaning
16. engine bay - find out why it smells like gas
17. oil drain hose - kinking
18. turbo oil drain - leaking, seal wit massive amounts of RTV
19. oil pan - oil drain leaking, also needs AN adapter to be welded on
20. ARP headstuds, retorque to 80 ft*lbs already
21. catback - needs neckdown to not neck down, weld in a 3 inch pipe
22. fuel pressure gauge in-cabin - figure out why the bitchin' thing jumps to max pressure when blipping the throttle
23. Forge BOV - service piston with new grease
24. e-brake - tighten up
25. battery - replace
26. keyless entry - replace battery
27. reinstall seatbelt

How were you going to go about the rust on the underbody, if you don't mind me asking?

Most likely with steel wool, elbow grease, and then either black rustoleum paint or rubber underbody spray.Posted 01-12-2009 at 04:06 PM by crimsondragon

Have you ever thought about using some sort of media-blasting under the car? It would save you SO much time and hassle. That list is mighty long. Good thing you have all of spring and summer when it gets here. I just spent about 5 days doing a cylinder head swap only to find other leaks that didnt show when I had the car running on the jack-stands for over an hour. Oh well. Good luck to you man....Posted 01-18-2009 at 06:14 PM by Turbo Talon DL

No I didn't because I don't have a media blaster. Elbow grease will have to suffice. Adding an alignment job to the list. I just smashed the front passenger wheel into a curb.Posted 01-19-2009 at 03:59 PM by crimsondragon
