Cleaned out her stall.
She needs more shoes on deck, more room for that now!
It's not much, but its her cozy little spot that she calls home.

Replaced the front and rear bushings with Daizen Bushings. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, the previous owner already had put polyurethane bushing on. So the difference was marginal for me.

When my headlights show haze I will be using bug spray.

Followed a Youtube video that I saw so I went with it. I used 800 grit and 2000 grit along with a plastic clear coat to do my headlights. He showed results after one year and they looked pretty good so I went with it.

Video link:

My headlights were so hazy my 8k hids that I had for couple years looked 6k. These were from hidextra when they sold their kits for $20 with the 50w slim ballast. Maybe 4 to 5 years they been running STRONG! Now I need need 6k HIDs.

Anyone know good HIDs they wanna point me towards?

Ooooh and I superglued that damn plastic ring around the seatbelt at the bottom back onto the seat.

Next to do list:
-Repaint front bumper
As you can see my bumper has been eaten up due to about 8 trips back and forth to Napa Valley. She drives so smooth for it being a car made14 years ago. One of many reasons why I can't leg her go.
-Get new inner 194 LEDs (one of them flicker )
-Do the banana foglight mod. Just haven't found enough time to do it.

Maybe not the best recommendation but crank the motor with the plug out and hope the ceramic comes back out the plug hole. This happened to me way back in the day on a 300zx

Thanks but I tried that already with no luck, good news is my mechanic was able to get it out! He also fixed my sputtering issue. Only thing now is I'm hitting boost cut.

Cheers guys. Got lucky on them. Friend of a friend sold his supra and I snapped up the wheels. Very light for their size, always wanted TE's, getting SL's was icing. Looking forward to the next round of mods.
