veritech-z Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 no, no real updates to speak of. I recently brought the car out of storage and I've been driving it a little bit. Oh, that's not true, I did get some black rubber floormats for it a weekend or two ago. Feel like kind of a letdown with no big news these days...

jknc90 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Lol at least you're getting to drive it again. Hows the blue "metalcast" stuff holding up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 it's holding up fine, hasn't even faded really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I felt bad for not having any updates last time somebody asked, so I went ahead and actually did some stuff to the car this weekend. It's been sitting with a dead Optima red-top in it for like three weeks now, so i took it and had it exchanged. While under the hood, I decided it was finally time to add my intercooler trim panel that i've been hiding in a closet. This was a factory trim item from the Sunny Pulsar GTi-R that the previous owner of the intercooler had ceramic coated to be a sort of polished aluminum look. It's been languishing in various drawers and closets for years now, and it's finally back out in the sunshine. The reason I didn't use it right off the bat was because the hole in the hood wasn't big enough to clear it, and i was too busy with school and other things to enlarge said orifice. Well, today was the day, and here was the result: I cut the crap out of my fingers during this operation, I guess the old girl's gone a few years without a good transfusion so she was about due for a drop or two of blood under the hood...

veritech-z Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Also I polished the overspray off the tailights a few weeks ago, but didn't think to take any pictures of that...ended up with a blister from that one...I guess she's getting her revenge from making her sit in a garage undriven for a full year while i got my degree...

veritech-z Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I graduated with my master's in December, it's drivin' time now, baby! (or rather, it would be if i'd ever found myself a replacement diff...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the guts from the one I broke. Do you need the whole thing, or did something break in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckolander Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Is it just me or is that a big ass hole in the hood with an intercooler sticking out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have the guts from the one I broke. Do you need the whole thing, or did something break in it? It clunks during steady-state cruising, seems fine during acceleration. I haven't opened it up to see what exactly is wrong, mostly because it's a big PIA to do that, and I don't have a really good place to do it anymore. I figure if i'm going to go through all that trouble, I may as well just throw another one in it altogether. I actually need to upgrade my drivetrain from the flywheel back, I've got an NA flywheel, $20 NA clutch disc, and used NA pressure plate leading into a 5-speed that pops out of 5th under acceleration, and all that in addition to whatever is happening with my diff...
