    cody, you ever thought of having the stuff hydro dipped instead? It would look much better. At least in my opinion.

      I tested my TPS yesterday using the feeler gauge method...seems my idle switch didn't want to fluctuate with the tolerances I was given...so I swapped it out for another one and adjusted it properly (0.0-0.016 continuity, and no continuity when above 0.016) and it's idling smoother...but with a bummed o2 sensor and a bad t-stat (yeeep it stuck open) it's hard to get a feel for the car lol...if I had a t-stat gasket or some RTV I would swap in another one, but not the case

        So far, from what I've found, the selection of plaid hydro-graphics is minimal at best. I've looked into it, as I used to hydro-dip RC cars.

          Put the engine and gearbox back into my gtr. Pulled apart all of my cvs and cleaned them, new grease and a new boot on one end. Greased calipers. Now to connect the drive shaft and exhaust. hook up the rest of the intercooler piping and loom. Hopefully first start on the rebuilt engine and box

                    turns out that when you go from no traction to traction (like when you hit a bump under power and spin the inside tire) it freaks out the diff and the car changes direction unexpectedly.

                    had just enough luck to save it from the Jersey barrier.

                      Replaced a rear trailing arm, used my Mcpherson strut spring compressor for the first time tonight, and compounded and waxed the hood.

                      91 GT failed inspection: 2 broken rear springs, 2 broken rear end links, busted front passenger side rigid brake line. It blew while they were testing it; I'm willing to bet there will be more of that in the coming future.
                      Oh, and I need to readjust the driver side door and replace one hinge. Gawd.... another frickin' hinge...

                              go down to keith's shop and see what he would charge you to strip it and put black sealer on it.
