Drove it to 'merica!
Sitting here right now listening to josh and brando bicker like a old married family.
alignment in various parking lots while working in between stops.
I took the bike out today, and when I got home I saw my car and surprised myself with how good it looks.
Today was a busy day. I detailed under the hood, cleaned the throttle body while I was under there, and I washed and waxed it, wiped the interior down, cleaned the windows, and vacuumed it.

dammm that car was dirty I see a 1993 3000gt or a sl
It's actually a 94 Stealth. I have a mishmash of parts on it.
Tomorrow it gets some love when it goes in the garage.
Filled it up with aprox 100 octane ( 94 plus 2 things of octane booster) and got it ready for the track tommorow.
Figured out that when lacing the over stitch should be straight, and under stitch angled, makes the leather straighter. Hopefully it works though out all angles and corners.

Thursday I started my CS up for the first time in 6 months. It started up with a flick of a key. After it had been running a while I noticed a massive coolant leak.
So into the garage it went.
This is the oil drive pump. It was leaking. I had to replace that o ring too. I ended up doing a double gasket job on it. And coating it with RTV to prevent future leaking.
This was the old O ring. It was so hard and brittle I had to chip it off with a flat head screw driver and small hammer.
The PCV hose was broken. Not sure if I did it or was already broken. I fixed it with an F-150 PCV hose line.
As of last night I only have a couple more things to do and then she will be running like again.
I replaced everything under the lower intake to everything above the upper intake. Good thing I can do this myself this would cost me about a grand to do at a shop.
Went to a auto swap meet today, actually pretty good. - bought a diecast model and a POR 15 Brake caliper paint kit, wrong color, but will swap paint on Monday cause the kits only come in black and red.![]()
