I'm never done with cars. I'll find something to fix on this pile of buckets.

Changed the rear springs from 6k to 8k, car rides better and also tires dont rub on inner fender anymore! Sweet.

I had my car emotional brake down at that time because I was so frustrated.

I drifted my purple car yesterday. Haven't drifted since Sept. Last year I think. it was fun.
I can definitely tell that my skill level has gone down by ten folds, oh wells.

I just ordered new fuel pump gasket/seal. $13.89 out the door from the dealer ship. Not bad.

I hope this will take care of the fuel smell in car.

replaced the fuel pump gasket. but that wasn't the "fuel smell" problem. previous owners used self tapping screws on the fuel deck before and it seems like that penetrated the tank. the ****kkkk.

So, this is what was rattling on both sides of my doors. It's the rod that goes from outside door handle to the latch mechanism.

Heat gun + Old vacuum hose + Lube = no more rattle!

I'm starting to fix all kinds of interior rattles here and there, so I'll be posting tips/tricks to how to get rid of all that jazz.

Did oil change on the purple S14 with this...


And I proceed to change these out as well.

DEA motor mounts and transmission mount bushings.
Energy Suspension steering rack bushings.

I should have changed those out sooner! haha.
