I'll definitely try. I actually bought the winglets on this forum, I forget the members name but I had bought them some time ago.

HAHA that's so funny because I wish I was wherever usdm wasn't.


some new updates..........we all love changing headgaskets

How I got it


the HG


Found the primary was cracked, hence my new headers :)


slapped on new HG, VC gaskets, tune up, slim fan, dual core radiator, gates fan switch & thermostat, and rad cap.

3 phases



the upper part of my current solenoid gasket erupted, you know the one they don't sell separately....LOL spewing out my engine oil. By the time I arrived home, some few miles I had just under the fill line left w/in the engine.

I outsourced some aide for a replacement, but as luck would have it the faint relief quickly vanished....the solenoid was incorrect. For now I RTV'd the solenoid gasket, snugged it back down and unplugged it, hopefully it prevents any more oil from shooting out, as the replacement is on it's way.


old gasket of mine,

incorrect solenoid I was given, last night also of a d16. Maybe a z6/15b2???

Today I did my first $65 oil change :)..ouch!

While preforming the oil change, I removed the cap and I thought to myself "what's five more bolts & some sealant?"
so I removed this thing - Black chrome Powder coat

& I slapped this thing on :)

after that I asked myself WWMD? ( What Would Mossie Do? LOL j/k ) Find some fancy hardware! and fastened this down

it's like I had a disease today & kept the mod bug flowing profusely with my non sequential events - swapped out my old fog light 12v55w's for some pure yellow 12v100w

That looks quality, black on black really works. Keep it up 100% better than stock :)
 
nice :) , one question , why spray the rag black, give it a sleeper effect ??
 
How did the filling the rear trailer arm rubber with urethane working out for you and What happened to the camber kit bushing did they just go bad ?? plz pm me and let know
 
It went well, and it feels good. Just make sure you clean it well so the new urethane can adhere as much as possible to the old. The camber arms must have just been too old...I had them since 2002. haha
 
some more pics...oldies from a meet. I wasn't to happy how the carbon fit, so I sold it to a buddy. I made sure he saw the fitment prior to purchase.

so w/out all that carbon I went a tad lower, I picked up some F&F Type 1's ;)

My ideal drop :) right side
IMG_1070.jpg


It may be the way I'm parked or user error when I adjusted the ride height, but my left side appears much lower than my right :thud:. I ran out of time, and didn't notice until I returned home.

Left side - the shade on this side of the car made it harder to see so no full shots of the left, too tough to decipher.
