well its been a dead day here at the shop so i used the day to work on the 90 gst, i instaleld the new thermostat, waited, and then the fans turned on, which is a huge relief, because when it was overheating when we were driving her back without a thermostat, those fans would not turn on, i also switched the fuses by the battery, the rad fan one with the tail lights, i didnt check if the tail lights work anymore, who needs them anyways, i did another alternator check, it was 14.06 then the fans turned on it went down to 13.94, and then i went inside turned all the lights on, and theres nothing else to turn on, since theres nor adio or whatever, and it went to 13.90 but still the battery and coolant light are coming on and off, which happened on my 1.8 and then my alternator dies, so i know its a sign that your alternator is bad, but its averaging a 14 volt check, so i have no idea, i also checked the turbo, for any play, and its like perfect, but theres a weird noise coming from the manifold, the guy i got it off told me his mechanic said the gaskets are done for, but i didnt feel like ripping out the whole turbo today, maybe next monday, i just need to get tires, find a body shop to put on my front bumper and then drive her around for a couple days, and she does need to be registered, i also have to figure out how to open the doors since theres no handles and i dont know how the #### the python system works to pop the doors open, but it doesnt even make the annoying alarm sound, when i kick it, the lights flash and blicker w.e. but no sound, also have to wait for the bov from ebay, and the 91 gst gauge cluster ,since this one is riced out, and the oil pressure doesnt work, i also located the little hose from the boost gauge, and it hooks up next to the drivers side fuse box, its like a rail with 3 sensors hooked up, and then this little white hose is (T) into it and then it goes to the fuel rail? idk confusing, i might go to a tuner shop near my house and get a boost controller hooked up along with a new gauge cluster ill prob buy on ebay, and i do have to put the doro panels back on and get a new window handle some point soon

also the rabbit in the photo is blossom, my gf's dutch bunny, my bunny is a flemish giant that looks like bugs bunny, he can outrun my cousins civic in the parking lot which is hilarious
