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.

Irotors rear slotted/drilled rotors and ceramic pads




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?

Pro-Touring




I can't seem to make up my mind between doing the vintage look or the pro-touring look. So far the pro-touring side is tipping the scale due to the fact i can do more stuff with it. Here's some pictures that were taken by P.Hellberg.

Boring stuff






After repeated days of telling myself i should clean my Q, i finally did today. I vacuumed and used some armor all wipes to clean the door sills and all that dirty shit that i haven't bother to fuck with since accquiring the car. While cleaning I realized this is the first car that I've owned that wasn't modded within weeks of ownership. Now with the Q its been almost 3 years of ownership and i haven't done anything cool with it. Armon came over yesterday to help me work on my cousin's corolla. The progress on that bitch is going well, I can't wait for that shit to leave my garage so the Monte Carlo can rest in there. Lastly some pictures i took of the bumper and fender so that I can do a before and after pictures later on.
