Well I brought her in for paint. The roof was in really bad shape, California sun really took it's toll on her from being outside so many years. I also had the hood repainted at the same time due to...

Jeez, ya I couldn't imagine trying that one. I kinda considered it but quickly decided against it and went into work on my day off.
You know what, unfortunately I didn't but that would have been a pretty good idea to do while I had the pan off. Oh well.
Ok guys so yesterday I got a few of the more major things done. First off I did the oil pan gasket at my work. Honestly I couldn't imagine doing this one in a driveway, but I'm sure people have done...
Haha thanks man, ya I think it's going to be a pretty clean car after I'm done with everything.
Thanks guys! I got some work done this afternoon. First off, I replaced the rear brake pads/ sensor. Just a tip, if you guys ever need brakes same day the dealers are offering "value line" brake...
I've done a ton of stuff to the car over the years, I took a good amount of pics back then too just cause. Most recently I rebuilt the entire CCV system in 2016 since she had a check engine light on...
How's it going guys, been meaning to make a thread for a little while since recently acquiring a 2005 ZHP coupe. It was my neighbors old car which I've been helping her out with over the past two...
Thanks guys! I've already started to make a list of things it's going to need. I did a TON of stuff last year, including a full cooling system overhaul, OFHG/ Valve cover gasket, spark plugs, air...
This things awesome man, keep up the work.
Big Update :)
Been using MTL in my car for the past 8 Months, works great. Factory calls for a MTL, although they also approve of ATF. Redline recommends ATF for colder climates just like the factory if shifting...
That fitments nuts Josh! Glad you got it to fit properly in the end.
Yes on the bottom of the control arm ball joints, or any of there ball joints for that matter, you should see there signature "triangle" logo.

GLWS Josh.
Ball Joint Separator is your friend :biggrin. I use it on EVERYTHING these days, just makes everything a whole lot easier. As you can see from the pic, I used it while installing my Lemforder Tie...
Put some in my e46 touring last month and couldn't be happier with the choice, the original arms at 165k had torn boots and the ball joints where not nearly as tight as the new sets.

If you do go that route send a couple pics my way! I'm located in the Bay Area.

Still looking, seem's I missed out on a complete set that sold last week..
Not sure if I would go that far.. But definitely do both inner and outers if there original. At the same time you should put on some new boots/ don't forget to order the clamps that hold the boots in...
Noooo! Been looking a while now oh well.

Bump! Would prefer to buy both the shift boot and eBrake boot at the same time, doesn't have to be from the same seller of course.

Josh, if you haven't already I highly recommend the Milwaukee impacts. I use and abuse mine literally every single day on a daily basis at work and home. I have Milwaukee's smallest 1/2 impact rated...
