Saved my motor from death. My hose for my oil cooler hose popped off. I seen the oil pressure gauge drop just in time to shut the car off before any damage happened. When I checked the dipstick there still was a tad bit of oil left on it. Put hose clamps on the lines filled it back up with oil and drove the car home like nothing happened. LOL
 
Received my Extreme PSI OEM hard line to rail line kit and Prothane motor mounts. :) Going to install them tomorrow.
 
Replaced the alternator today. Didn't take too long. But the stud for the nut that holds the B positive wire(to the starter i think), rusted to the nut. We just kept spinning the stud when trying to losen it. On top of that. the crimp washer, for the two wires, rusted to the nut that tightens on it. So we couldnt get the nut spinning around to get off until we got those two apart. But we got that apart. Then ran into the stud rusted to nut problem above. Got some narrow nosed vise grips on the part of the stud that has sides on it for a wrench. Then put a wrench on the nuts. Got it off :)

Then it went smoothly.

Fun day none the less, me and my father bonded.
 
Did you forget to latch your hood?

Wish I could say I did. When I took the latch out, the assembly was completely rusted to pieces and didn't say 'down' - and the part that is suppose to catch it was bent. My car was in a front end collision before I bought it :(
 
I drove mine to work this morning. I would wash it later but were supposed to get snow tomorrow. I'm really aggravated with winter not wanting to end this year. Maybe well get a summer this year.
 
Well I didn't do it but mother nature owned my GSX with a big hail storm, lots of dents, busted headlight, and busted spoiler.:(
 
Changed the transmission oil, fixed a broken wire to the TPS, replaced the ICS, and hooked the Palm IIIc up to it. Pushed in the clutch to start it and met no resistance. Saving the slave cylinder replacement until Friday.
 
Picked up my bumper and center tail piece from the painter. Mounted the new painted center tail and ordered a new emblem for the bumper.
 
Got My Galant VR4 Aligned with New Tires and a 40 dollar Camber bolt kit. got some Kuhmo Ecsta AST's

Tomorrow I'll install my JDM gas Tank door on it.
 
Finally dragged it back home from a buddies shop, i had a exhaust cam seize up on me after 10sec. of running after being put back together.......:(
