yesterday: installed a circulating block heater that with an oil pan heater will ensure easy starts this winter

today: changed oil and spark plug wires and installed my amp and subs. also crushed my BOV so it won't leak anymore

Ripped out some p.o.s aftermarket alarm what a mess done though tommorow timing belt and balance shaft! let the headache begin

Finished redoing the bottom of the car now waiting for my prothane bushings from STM. And the installing everything on my rust free underbody

Accidentally shattered my back hatch glass.....long story short the corner of my sub box and the cold glass don't mix well together.

finished putting a spare crank pulley on after the old one decided to self-destruct after only 50k miles.

Tightened the bolt that holds the cooler donut to the filter housing and changed the oil from the junk ass royal purple I was running to Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic 5w40. Car is WAY smoother and it's $40 for 8 quarts vs $72 for 8 quarts.

How do u like the oil? Did u decide to use shell rotella t6 5w-40 cause its winter time besides the fact its better then royal purple?

I DROVE IT! finaly

oh i wanted to add.. on Christmas Eve .. someone stole my reverse lamps.. yay

Wasn't quite today but Monday night got it fired up and did a rough tune for some break in of the new engine. Did 15 miles worth of 60-70% throttle pulls with engine breaking and then did an oil change. Then took it out for some more driving and finer street tuning. The car is still running straight wastegate pressure 19psi and has 91 in the tank but I have driven 210 miles so far. Another oil change coming up next and soon full dyno tune on 91 and e85.

It's been 6 months since the engine blew and I'm just happy to be able to drive the car again.

ripped apart my interior to find short/battery drain, fixed it up i hope. found a 3 inch frozen puddle in my spare tire compartment an inch away from sub... got a new battery, new shift boot, pedals, and tomorrow I'm going to find the leak in the hatch and seal it up also got a screw set for my car so that should help replacing missing bolts/screws. and it's only been around 28 degrees out

Spent 400 dollars on an AFPR and Wideband!

I put my newly socketed ECU in my car, installed link, installed MBC, and ran a couple logs.

Now i'm just waiting on my wideband so that i can turn the boost up to 16 or 18psi(havent decided yet haha). i guess i'll try both

bought all the needed stuff for a HG replacement, and revised lifters woot

Drove it to work and back home =D.


Lately I've been thinking of getting the Avid motor mounts for it but evry time I try to ask a vendor for the part number or if they carry the kit for an A/T trans they just simply ignore me

I guess they don't want to make a sale

Checked my TPS, ISC, BLT and fixed a coolant leak

Ripped all the carpeting out and dynamatted the entire floor and roof. Waiting on New carpet kit for it. Added an Electric fan and Put my new Stainless Valvecover bolts on.

took the throttle body off popped out the freeze plug and bottomed out the fiav cause im tire of crazy idle (-_-_-_-_-) played with the afc it drives me nutz so i traded it for a maft and blow through setup.
