I ran a can of sea foam through the motor last night, changed the oil to Vr1 20-50, put in a new set of ngk plugs, replaced all wiper blades, replaced vacuum hoses.
To night I plan on taking my stock radio out of my gst and putting it in my gsx, replacing the valve cover gasket and.bb taking it to the car wash.
Tomorrow ill swing by FP and pick up a set of ngk plug wires, from there ill swing by mudpit performance to pick up a working mdp sensor then the car should be able to pass inspection.
 
Was yesterday not today but removed radiator and all coolant stuff.. Dropped down pipe.. Pulled serpentine belts removed alternator got strut bar out of the way. Removed intake and my FMIC with all the piping.. Drained clutch fluid and got shifter cables off.... Popped most electric connections and plugs..

Today's plans are too drop the t-case, pull wheels off and get axles out of the tranny... trying to decide if i want to pull turbo and stuff off before i pull motor kinda thinking im going to... Then finish all the little things and pull the motor hopefully tonight itll be out..
Then to ez-out my carrier barring bolts for my left cv axle out of the block and back together she goes....will probably try hiding some wiring too and definitively will be cleaning everything up really well again.. Going to paint VC again...
 
I started to install the factory stereo from my GST into my GSX. The person that put in the aftermarket stereo in the GSX did a hack job so its going to take a lot longer than I thought. I'll finish it tomorrow.
 
Fix leaking coolant hose by oil pan. Flush coolant for new one. New oil and filter. No more overheating. Raised the car for camp so imma drop it again and fill in tire pressure.
Install walbro 190 and rewired it on my next day off!
 
Fixed the dash lights and the cigarette lighter in the car. Just bought it and some of that stuff did not work....gas gauge is next! Its terrible not knowing how much gas you have left.

Will, hose busted on me 1 am after work and I had to drive it hot all the way to mom's house.
fixed the leak but testing it with just water cause I'm really broke to by coolant. once the hose prove it don't break or snap. I'll fuggin reflush it again.
Walbro and rewired to come sunday!
 
Installed my aftermarket boost guage. Why do these cars even have a factory one. It makes as much sense as coming with a speedometer thats says on the face "Dont trust me".
 
Lol they might as well of made a guage that pointed to yes and no for when there was boost.
 
i changed the wbo2 sensor again, stupid LC1.. washed my car, pulled the fan again, melted blades. pulled out the apexi ATS silencer. Don't get me wrong it is way better then a non opening silencer, but sounds like crap.
 
Found out my new rotors and pads will only be here next wednesday, so I grabbed the pads off my parts car and threw them on. Thank goodness for parts cars!!
 
Found a new dsm in the junk yard today and took the 4 point bride racing harness'es and got them both for 10 bucks each and checked it for anything eles good found a eprom ecu on it. 96tsi... Good day and got my parts I ordered in the mail.

Hey does anyone know if a stock cam has a big B stamped on it wondering if the cams I found in the car were aftermarket..
 
I have a wobble in the steering so I jacked the car up so see where all the play in the steering is coming from, but I can't find anything so I'm wondering if my steering rack is messed up. Tie rod ends are new and there is very minimal play between the wheels yet the steering wheel is always vibrating. hmmm...

That's probably dragging calipers on warped rotors. I thought I needed a tire balance, but after I replaced my rotors and loosened-up my caliper sliders she was smooth, like butter.

Today, I restored the functionality of the AC system on my '92 GST DD. I've never fixed AC before. I'm very happy. My car looks a lot like avengerscoot's, except even shittier! But, hey, the AC works! (Plus, it's fast as hell, gets 30mpg highway, and costs $30/month to insure!)

The pictured POS DSM has done about 10 90-mph laps around the one-and-only DSM factory over the last 3 days. Testing the AC, avoiding psycho PMS GF, testing MBC settings, avoiding angry middle-aged lesbian landscape customers, etc... It's basically been a 72 hour drinking bender, and upon completion, my DD has AC, and is running a couple of PSI higher boost. Better than just jacking-off and being hung-over, I guess.
