Drove it to work today and from the partial re-paving on the highway a rock kicked up and put a "star" in my windshield.

Came out after work and the star is now a 10-12 inch crack.

Scheduled the replacement.... (just past a year to the day almost from the prior one

Raised the front ride height by .75". The parking lot where I live has the most EVIL speedbumps in the known universe. More adjustments to come this weekend.

Finished adjusting the ride height and spring load at all four corners. Hope I did it right. This is my first car with coilovers. Brake fluid flush. Drained the diff. Will refill tomorrow. Cleaned the chrome tail pipes.

replaced the gear oil in the diff. Used 75-90 synthetic oil. Tried to polish the chrome on the bigass tail pipes. Needs more effort. There is probably pieces of tar on the tail pipes. Time to get out the bottle of bug & tar remover.

put on the replacement rear tires. Got the car off the jack stands. Discovered I raised the car more than I needed to. Now I have to lower it. It's a lot of work but it's worth the trouble.

I washed it again. It's hard to keep black cars clean.

Adjusted the damper settings on the coilovers. The previous owner had the fronts set to full hard. Not a good choice for a daily driver.

Today I'm going to try and finally get my passenger window fixed. Lately I've just been working on cleaning the car up and getting it ready to get tagged/insured.

I replaced the broken radiator with a new Mishimoto one. Went well.
