Installed my Axial Flow short shifter. Don't hear any amplified transmission noises like some people say here. Other than that, great mod.

... Nothing amazing. Just re-attached the exhaust hanger that was bugging me. Oh, and removed all the fruity neon lights (sorry previous owner) ... Anyone want to buy some rice? ... ( don't ask what color or I'll just shake my head at you) lol only kidding.

 

rid myself of previous owners, shall I say hard work?

 

... Nobody works on their cars anymore??? Have some free time and about to go find something to fix on her. What did u do with your car today?

 

Drove it to work!

 

See #1697. Also rotated my tires.
I have an air filter ready, & another MAF sensor cleaning planned soon.
Will clean & treat my plastic covers, & clean exposed engine bay areas.

 

lol Thank you for replying. Giving everyone who comes here everyday a hard time. Got tired of seeing my call sign being last one from a few days ago. Jus did some preventative maintainance to the CHMSL A.KA. 3rd brake light (points for someone who knows the meaning of "CHMSL") which is not technically not considered as, for the 8. Finished up cleaning the rice off the flowmaster exhaust tips (didn't even know they weren't stock w all the paint.) a little more cleaning due there but until I get some more supplies, Ill have to call it a day on that. Greased the steering u-joints. Next project, cleaning up the oil coolers. "Today was a good day." -Craig A.K.A Ice Cube

 

Center High Mount Stop Light?

 

Oh and took a nice winding drive for lunch and some moron in a Civic thought he was "fast" with is half painted rice and added fartcan/melon shooter . . . unfortunately for him the road was not very straight and I was able to maintain a good speed while he was not . . . when I came up on him and passed him, you could hear him hammer it, then you could hear him push is front tires around the next bend, then you couldnt hear or see him anymore lol.

I wasn't racing just fyi, I just go there a couple of times every month to stretch the cars legs and curve speed limit is between 15 and 30mph, I am sure you all know how fast you can drive around those curves!

 

yes sir! awesome!

 

How fun! Im jelly

 

working on straightening these oil coolers out. Very tedious, although very necessary. Thank goodness this wont have to be done for a while longer afterwards!

 

Started pulling hardware from what's left of the splash guard to find stainless replacements, then fabricatibg an aluminum splash guard

 

planning on doing the same thing here in the near future. My GF thought she was cruising in a 4x4 and decided to rip off the front lip and under tray. Out of pure laziness waiting for another member here to give me dimensions so I can just "cut and paste." Finished product looks really clean! Just about done straitening out the oil cooler fins. Ill post "used and improved" pix later

 

I had planned to post some pix of the before and after of the oil coolers. After resizing, they were still too big. Pictures really didn't do um any justice anyhow. looks pretty crappy but I am happy w the results I know that even though functioning they now will have better air flow and in turn cooler oil. Could I also say the job doubled as a weight reduction as well? haha Had to have rid a couple pounds of bugs, rocks, and twigs. lol... Ok, I'm probably exaggerating quite a bit. Probably, at best, only a couple ounces, (ok maybe even as little as grams lol) but hey, Im happy cuz I know the flow will be beneficial. Bout to call it a night at least for the 8. Mas limpo aqui. Buenos noches

 

sitting in my garage

 

@Jay719, I'm sure you could find something to with her -_*

 

Busy weekend for me. Installed a BHR ignition system and new NGK plugs, and while I was tinkering in the wheel well decided to do ASH's DIY oil cooler airflow mod. After getting my car back from the dealer for warranty-related transmission work and a clutch job two week's prior (thank you Galpin Mazda) the car is feeling amazing.

 

Moved my goodbox from the ashtray to under the radio.

 

Nice 1.3, any pointers? Thats exactly what i was going to do when i install mine.

 

Did you get yours when they were still on sale, or are the available now?

 

Bought it iff a forum member tecently

 

I actually just sat down with a drimel set and drill with drill bits and free handed it looking at this thread lol. Was pretty easy. Just take your time.
