Did some work today 
I put in the new Skunk 2 bolt. Added on all the stickers. Changed the oil. ahhh. Feels good. Feels good to have tools a jack and jackstands, and a nice afternoon/evening to do some work.
And yea the OEM bolt isn't magnetic Martin. the skunk 2 bolt is also longer by a bit.
I'll put the Tranny bolt in whenever i need to do my Tanny fluid. It gone done i Dec so I wont need it done for a bit. Pics Pics

So sometime in February i bought a Silver custer bezel., But I never had the chance to install it. So I put it in today.yay.
If you notice my "tripometer" is all weird. I broke it a day or so ago. I was getting gas and I always reset it when I fill the tank. And as I pressed it, it got stuck and then the numbers all spun out. Now it doesnt move or reset.
ALSO, im looking for the plastic that covers the cluster. Mine seems to have some marks on it that arent coming off whatsoever. Would wet sanding solve it? I thought i was water marks but its not. Its stuck there good
And yea yea, i see the sub wire. I tucked it in after.

For the plastic cover, just get 2000+ wet/dry sandpaper and lense restorer. works great as long as you have a power ball or some sort of small polisher. otherwise rubbing the stuff hard by hand will work also.

The OEM oil drain isnt magnetic, I tested it out. The Skunk 2 one is a really strong magnet and its also longer. As for the tripometer, I didnt try to spin it back, the actual button that resets it doesnt move anything anymore. So im assuming theres no more spring? I dont know. Id have to take appart the entire cluster to get the spring back in that button

The lugs are on now. I was gonna clean my rims some more, but I decided not to due to the rain and me needing to have my garage open. I need to strip my front passengers side rim to take out everything. And that would take hours to clean 1 wheel + alot of wet sanding and the polish. So ill wait till it gets warmer for that or when I have more time.
Rims wont be so clean for the cruise tomorrow due to the rain . so I'm gonna leave it as is

Rays are way better then works lol maybe just cause i got rays extended lugs and i love them. i got mine for 70 bucks used and that is a steal in itself. ya but those lugs look good just gotta see what rims you are using. post them up on monday when you guys finish the swap i wanna see them and i wont see them in person for at least a month.

Rims time!
So I havent taken a pic or told you guys what rims I got. I didnt get anything to fancy. Just something clean and classic.
I got my self GSR Blades with new rubber. 195/50/15 in the front and 205/50/15 in the rear. I got the rims and tires for a STEAL!. While I was picking them up there were a few guys contacting the seller that they were on their way to get them. But lucky for me , I was there first
So here they are. My cleaaaaaan *** GSR blades. hard to find a clean set but I found 'em
These pics are with the rims a little dirty from the rain. So Imagine after I wash them and put some polish WOOOOT

Yea, Option wont have the rad till monday if I order it now. Not sure if I even wanna get a Mishimoto one, because from what I know, the fans dont fit the Mishimoto one, so i'll have to buy the Mishimoto ones too. Might just pick one up at partsource. I just need a rad, loool.

So my rad finally went on its last few kms cooling the car. It finally went kaboom and it couldn't seem to hold coolant longer than an hour.
So I installed a new one
New
Crustiness of the old Radiator
My 291,827 KM Road Warrior Radiator, VS my Virgin never touched Rad.
And Rad installed and random Driveway shot. Here's to another 291,827 Km's
With it, my leaking problems are gone, so are my crazy temp readings going up and down. yay.

Not alot has happened with my Teg due to some work stuff and such. But ill update the pics of before and after anything happened with the teg

I know I included a bunch of other guys cars in it, but its the only ones from the different points of view.
None the less, the car is gonna be staying the way it is for a while, as hopefully paint and body issues get resolved slowly.
I've had the car for a year now, and it shows the progress starting from September (when I started doing ----), till now.
Its been slow as i'm 18 and funds arent crazy high, but im satisfied with what has been done so far for the time being.
Nevertheless, you guys will see my teg everywhere at these TI meets
