Worthless original v6 gone






After work I went straight to Infiniti to order a new alternator and belt. Then we went to harbor freight and bought a cherry picker and pulled the engine out of the 929. The replacement should be here next month sometime and the new sentia crystal clear headlights should be in next week hopefully.

Mazda 929










Went over to Armon's today to finally work on his 929 after it sat for 3 years because the transmission and motor died. We pulled the transmission, drive shaft, and cats off. All that's left is to pull the motor and wait for the cool replacement to arrive to have even more fun. Then we came back to my house and put on the rotors and pads. Hopefully tomorrow I can put the alternator from my good motor on and see if that fixes the rough idle. If not, the adventure of finding out the rough idle continues.

I bought some rear rotors and pads cause my rotors were getting hella scratched up cause my pads were non-existent lol. They are some brand from ebay called Irotors, supposely they are decent.

B&M transmission cooler and VH45DE projects







So I decided to do some car work today and pulled out my B&M transmission cooler that I bought a while back and never installed. I have two spare VH45DEs sitting in my garage right now that I'm trying to work on. One of which is gonna be some type of forced induction project and the other going to be a table.

Q45

I'm going to start giving a shit about my Q45 again. I have a good amount of things to take care before i can do anything cool. Let's see I have to put on the transmission cooler, replace the steering rack boots, replace rear rotors, replace rear brake pads, get a new alternator, buy front and rear sway bars bushings, and probably some other stuff I can't think of right now. The monte carlo is out of the picture now, so all i have to do is concentrate on one car. Maybe I finally finish a cool project?
