replaced air filter for afe pro dry s

plugged a Kinivo BTC450 bluetooth kit in the armrest for a streaming audio / pandora connection. Only $30 and turns on / connects automatically when the car is turned on.

Not really for the car itself, but for the Feng Sui of the garage living... A rack to store my tires and wheels from the ceiling.

Fundguy1 · 11-23-2014, 03:35 PM

Installed my juicebox 4 G5 with two step module and broke in my new stoptech brakes

Spectre · 11-23-2014, 03:55 PM

replaced:
Oil filter housing gasket
Oil cooler gasket

flushed and changed:
Oil
Coolant

PITA
also looking in my valves and decided I need to walnut blast soon.

Oh well

Really helps having a lift and a shop at my disposal

Dirty block, with embedded bits of gasket everywhere

Old, leaky oil filter housing gasket (notice the chunks of rubber that has disintegrated? That is the cause of failing water pumps...

Old oil cooler gasket

I took a peak at my valves. :[

Now for the brightside...

Cleaning the block and added a dab of silicone where some pitting occurred causing leak.

New oil filter housing gasket placed

New oil cooler gasket placed

Steam clean, then done.

Sorry for the image sizes. Im too lazy to go back and resize.

Did the rear fog light mod with a piece of a pen and a piece of an old credit card😉

AFgixxer · 11-24-2014, 06:49 PM

Not sure if this is the right place I apologize, but I will ask anyway as I am new to having a low car. I was wondering is it normal to have rock chips or scratches on the front bumper or do you guys do something to prevent or protect it.

Sorry, felt a little sarcastic. You could PlastiDip the lower fascia... that would protect it somewhat, but might ruin your look.

krahooligan · 11-25-2014, 12:24 PM

Get lit · 11-25-2014, 12:37 PM

Washed and waxed, cleaned interior, changed oil, sat down and stared at my car for a bit while I waited for it to fall asleep.... Then installed the jbd diesel tuner!! Now it's still pouring down rain here so I'm stuck in my shop till the rain clears out!! Grrr

3M makes a clear plastic-y thing called "3M Scotchgaurd paint protection film"...Google it and you will be happy.
