    Oil change and alignment later this week, exterior clean & wax next week, 15% pulley and H-Sport sway bar on Wed. at Dragon from Chad. That should take care of it all.

    Ok, I admit that a lot of this needed to be done, but I moved it all up as a priority before the Dragon:

    Mechanical repairs:
    water pump
    thermostat housing & kit
    o-rings and gaskets galore
    belt tensioner
    idler pulley
    exhaust

    Maintenance
    belt
    brake fluid flush
    oil change
    air filter
    spark plugs

    Exterior
    PDR
    blackout beltline
    PlastiDip grille, latch and gas cap

    Fun stuff
    pulley
    summer wheels/tires put on

    Yep, think that's it :cornut:

    Oh, and I'm trying to get back in shape :ihih:

    4 wheels bearings

    New rear sway bar polly bushings
    Picked up 10 gallons of VP M-1 Meth
    EBC Reds all around

    Put a fresh set of new set of Dunlop Star Specs on my Summer rims
    New air filter
    Fresh Brisk plugs

    New tires Bfg sport comps and motgie racing rims. Alinement to my specks. Made a short shift. Made air ducted from grill to chanel more are to stock box. Welded in a flex joint to get ride of the stuped ball and socket on my obx down pipe. Adjusted end links to compensate for lowering. Replacing brake pads from carbotech 1521 to xp10/xp8. Brake flush. Cleaned carbon off valves. Made and instaled oil catch can. Dealer-timeing chain, fixed oil leak, replace serpent belt. Slayed a dragon, killed a giant, fixed a wagon, wage a war, and stamped out sen. Ya so I think that is the short list. Oh window tint if I have the coin.

    I'm having my Craven Speed shift well cover and M7 turbo heat shield powder coated red. Should get them back tomorrow!

    Oh, and I'm getting a super cool new pair of sunglasses with checkers down the sides!

    I just got the .pdf from the website and had a friend print it up on his plotter. It actually turned out pretty good for being a rather small pdf.
