I haven't updated in awhile so a few updates: I wanted to add my latest suspension mods on here (that I think I did the past summer) plus a few other things: (I'll add pics later). I essentially...

I love it! I need an updated custom tune as I still have the generic one, cold start is an issue (sometimes sputters) but not the end of the world (a known issue w/basic tune). It's faster, like it...

Completed 2nd passenger side airbag recall for the ignitor. Relatively painless. The dealer paid for an Uber home.

Thanks. Yes, very fun car. 5 speed, dual carbs, V8.

LOL. Yup, not a lot of long drives these days. Plus, I work from home so no daily commute, and I have my Triumph TR8 going as well, so sometimes I drive that.

Oil Change at around 103K miles. Got a few more things for maint I want to check off soon.

I hit a milestone but first, a story of tens. One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs is 'Ten Years Gone'. So 10 years to the month after I moved out of L.A., I am moving back (this was a long time...

Lol re pics. I think you were getting some tools.

With Hieu, put in new Cool Carbon front brake pads, new brake lines, new sensor, and turned my shock mount to hopefully help my camber alignment on 1 side.

Also, my relatiively new studs look...

Ah... good point.

New motor mounts, can really feel a difference, installed at EAS. That's it for suspension/bushing maintenance fot a long time. Next up, front brakes.

Plus, finally got a dyno. 255 at the...

It is, but it kinda works in this case! :)

Def feels tighter. Thanks! The fronts do bolt up with an adapter bracket. The rears are OEM that I painted to match.

With Hieu, completed my suspension maintenance/replacement work with new Lemforder tie-rods, steering coupler, and Rogue RSMs. Fixed a small wiring issue with the ambient temp sensor. Next up is an...

Did Control Arms, Z4M Fcabs (previously done), and adjustible end links from TMS.

As well, replaced the ambient temp sensor and the bumper housing piece for it. Also put in stealth turn signal...

Yup.... if I knew what was causing it maybe I would! :)

Great idea, thanks. I def want to bring Ness over!

Figured out end-link was bad, disconnected and removed, ordered new ones along with Control arms and tie rods since I'm coming up on 100K. Installed clear fogs and stealth turn signal bulbs but one...
