![]() Installed an MPx 60mm throttle body. There's definitely a difference, but it's so humid and disgusting outside at the moment I'll have to wait until this weekend to see what it can do (supposed to be in the mid to low 70's for high temp). My car turns into kind of a dog when it's hot outside. The throttle is less mushy but that's due to the better spring on the new TB. Not sure if I want to even try to port out the intake to match the TB. Next step might be an aftermarket manifold but options are kind of limited (the INDY intake is garbage). Whole job took about an hour and a half. It wouldn't have taken as long if things weren't so damn cramped in there.

![]() Finally swapped ot my aging tires and placed on some 225's 17 45's Falken Ziex ZA-912's. Had them on for about 2 weeks and i cant believe on how well they perform. And at the price, $140cdn each, to me its such a fantastic deal. Lets just see how long they last. |

![]() On saturday I recharged the A/C on my truck. On Thursday I replaced a headlamp bulb on my mother-in-law's car, and resealled the headlamp unit with silicon goo as it was letting in moisture, killing her expensive $40 halogen bulbs she insists on putting in her PoS car. I was going to recharge her A/C as well, but the car is 1994 MY and running the old R-12 system, need to get the conversion kit. |

![]() I washed my car today and changed the engine oil of my car. I was looking to send my car into auto garage to change the valve and new set of tyres but due to busy schedule i was not able to do it. I will send it tomorrow. Thank you...... |

![]() My odometer stopped working a few days ago apparently. I took the instrument cluster off today to see if there was anything obviously wrong, and there wasn't. However, the worm gear which turns the other gears in there wasn't spinning easily. I backed it up a little, then wound it forward and I heard a snap as if the gears fell back into place somewhere in the contraption. I spun the worm gear 3/10ths of a mile and it seemed to spin just fine. I reinstalled the cluster but haven't taken it for a drive yet to see if that was it. It sounded like the teeth on the gears had become aligned rather than between each other. Here's a picture of the back of the unit. The arrows are pointing towards the illumination lights. There are 4 screws to remove to allow the odometer/speedometer to pull forward and out. ![]() |

![]() I took a scrub sponge and scrubbed three clean circles on my door. I wanted to see if it would make a difference. It did. I now have a mostly gray car with three white circles because I haven't washed it in a year.

![]() Ordered a set of H&R Race Springs for my car today. They'll drop it 2" up front and 1.4" in the rear, and are progressive springs. Should be pretty sweet. Next payday I'll try and put some money aside towards ordering some decent shock absorbers. |

For the Vette I would go Bilsteins for regular shocks. But I'd prefer going Pfadt Coilovers or my top choice would be LG G2 Coilovers. But they are $$$$!
