Got the car back from paint this morning, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/09/e2a8agu7.jpg
Had a nice day of putting it all together, finding out it still had an engine light for a transmission problem that isn't there, and that the air bag light reprogramming didn't stick.

And took it for it's first car wash, and I refuse to put my winters on without driving it a bit first!
^Looking great so far.
Thanks. I'll have to post some front shots in the daylight. It wasn't all put together until 5:30 yesterday, so I didn't do any shots of the front.

Installed JBR rear swaybar yesterday. Had fun taking out rusted frozen bolts. Dremel, gas torch and hammer finally got the job done.

They go on sale every now and then for cheap at canadian tire and can even pull snapped bolts out (ie no head at all). Have had good luck with them.
Oh and put my winters on too. Bloody cold/snow.

Installed a compustar remote starter 2way

Repaired a wire going to a coolant sensor that was giving me an engine light. Also read the codes for my Airbag light, turns out the shop that reprogrammed my module, must have put the wrong chip in, cause my car is calling for a rear sliding door lock actuator to be replaced, and I don't have one of those, let alone a sliding door.
Put on winter tires & steelies last night at 3:30am... Wake up to this. Winter prep like a boss.
Got my BC coilovers taken off and swapped in the stock suspension. Also put winter tires on. :( and :)
These bolt extractors are on sale now. Got myself a set. 70% off.Quote:

Finished look. Wanted red instead of blue, but got the gauge for cheap, can't compain. Glows white in day and blue in night. Roughly 25psi at warm idle and 60-65 psi when cruising.

Washed the car and installed the OEM roof rack with INNO sticker bombed flaring, OEM window visor thing and PIAA wipers.
oil change!
I did my first oil change on the car, and installed some wire meshing behind the bumper in front of the condenser to stop bigger rocks from going through the grille and ruining the condenser. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/29/u9ytazy3.jpg
Didn't take very long, and very cheap materials, won't stop every thing from going through, just enough to hopefully not ruin my condenser.
At krowne Lakeshore getting rustproof ed last minute as we speak!
Same here...Quote:
