What did you do to your SC today?

Pole Position
Received & fitted a SpoilerKing rear window spoiler. I hadn't seen much feedback so I bit the bullet. Made from a thick polyurethane, it's light & well made & fits perfect once warmed up under the sun to give it some extra flex to take the curve of the rear window. The 2 strips of 3M tape was sufficient enough to hold it firmly in place.
It's a nice subtle alternative to the HIC window spoiler/visor & in the same price category, at least on this side of the world. I left mine unpainted & looks completely fine as is.

Just covered and protected my 8g wire
Before and after pic. Nothing major. But the red/faded wire always caught my eye. Zip ties....I know. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Crank pulley decided to give up last night. Took the crank pulley and fan off of my 1JZ today and transplanted it into the car. With the help of a 5-foot galvanized aluminium pipe as a cheater bar, removing the pulley(s) took ~10 minutes each. The hardest part was removing the radiator from the car to fit my 3-jaw pulley puller.
Took most of the day to finish, but it looks like I'll be able to drive to work this week!

Yeah, at this point my fancy aftermarket double-din head unit is a glorified pre-amp taking input from my phone (deck doesn't even have BlueTooth, so I'm using an external BT receiver and plugging that in to the Aux in.) Would have been served about the same with an aux-in on the factory unit, except the nice factory volume **** would actually work.

The other plan (I have a lot of plans, not as much "do") was to make the factory volume **** in to a sub level ****. If I can keep the "push" switch working I kind of wanted to wire that to the Traction Control switch. Much easier to reach than the one under the dash. In theory, I could do that part now, but if I'm opening it I might as well do everything and reduce the number of times I pull the center console.

My signature picture is from when my car was on UAS air bags with coilovers. Currently my car is on coils only and it'll be staying like that for the near future. I might put the air back on later on down the road if it never sells. I agree with you, I really like the current height for driving around, but I also miss being able to dump the car on the ground (especially to prevent my rims from getting stolen).
