My painter is taking his sweet *** time to finish the paint... damnit.
Anyways, I ordered new rear window trip seal for the S14 and gona have the window reinstalled this up coming week when it comes in.
Today on S14..
Oil Change, Check
Power Steering High Pressure Line, Replaced
Kaaz 2 way, Installed!
Ok, so, first impression on the Kaaz 2 way with OEM clutch on the S14, coming from a welded diff after two years.
Well spent and I forgot how my S14 felt with out a welded diff, much much more comfortable, I should be seeing higher MPG now, no more clunking = win!
I also dismounted the Maxxis MA-V1 255/40/17's from the rear to step down to 245/40/17's, reason for that is because I gotta run retarded amount of camber to tuck in all that tire on my 17x10+18 on the rear and I really do want to run less camber, so gona step it down to 245/40/17's Feddy 595's, so it should have way less side wall meat now so I'll be able to dial in less camber in! I'm excited for all these good changes for my S14.
I want my S14 kitted again damnit!

So, I did some work on the S14 finally this weekend, real work, not the bull **** exterior looks.
Did oil change, I never got stuck on a oil filter for that long before, it's good to have right set of tools, just that the hobby shop just misplaced the filter tool else where...So...that took me good 30 mins to take the durn filter off!
Anyhow, also changed out my power steering high pressure hose with new hose! no more hard lines, just pure 7000 peak psi/5000 constant psi line of awesomeness! I still need to bleed the system though, forgot to do that. it just consists of jacking up the front end of the car in air with car running, with the fluid cap off and turn the wheel lock to lock about 20 times. it's making a very minor wining noise right now. annoying still.
also finally ditched my welded diff after two years with Kaaz 2 way with Greddy Large capacity diff cover! so it's so much more better now, now I won't have to get new tires from daily driving every 6 month. thank god!
New tires for the rear's should come in tomorrow, I down sized from 255/40/17's on 17x10 18 to 245/40/17's so I can dial in the rear to have less camber, so that the tires will last longer and have more contact surface, it's sitting at retarded 4degrees of camber in the rear, pure retardness.
I hope my kit gets done soon? I hope...

The Kit is back on the S14. Doing the D-Max roof and trunk spoiler later this week. it's looking pretty good~
Well, it was just last week sunday that my transmission on the S14 blew up on me, well today[following sunday so it happends...] my S13 SR Transmission blew up on me on the local street just driving around.
Good bye 2nd gear.

Pulled the transmission off the S13 tonight, and confirmed it was the blown transmission.
And since im leaving for next 4 month in couple of weeks, time to cover her up as is and have my friend rebuild me a transmission while I'm gone so I'll be coming back to a fresh transmission to work with.
Later this week, I'll be putting on my Dmax trunk/roof spoilers on to finish up the looks for 2010 on the S14. Cool! pics when it's completed!
