A new wheel. I pulled a boneheaded move and went 100mph in a go kart without first checking all my lugnuts on all corners. Shit went bouncing past me and I finally understood why the handling was so fucked up. I found it in the grass but magnesium wheels on steel hubs means the holes were now all ovals.
>>
>>14912667
hell, if I had money, I would buy a new car so I wouldn't have to deal with the dumbass consequences from the maintenance the retarded previous owners didn't do

Sadly I did not have the camera rolling at the time, it would have made for a pretty funny video. I don't record every practice session, gotta save battery for the racing. Here's my onboard from the race itself though. Finished 2nd out of 26 starting. http://youtu.be/8fIDYh0csvo

Bought a supercharger kit for $9k, my mod budget for several months is spent. After I got it, I started craving a set of wheels (currently on OEM) and an exhaust (picks up about 40whp, is restrictive to supercharger.) So for now, no more mods :(

Thanks, turned out pretty good for a 2 weekend swap with as much shit there was to be done and how many things fought back.
>>
>>14910251
Oil filter, oil. It'll arrive by next weekend with any luck.

And I'm putting money aside for new brake disks and pads. Both have worn out together, so I'm using up the last of the pads before replacing.

New headlight bulbs, battery,take off trunk and rear bumper, already got new carpet. Just touching up my DD, no fun car at the moment.

To what are you referring specifically? No fucked tires that day. At the beginning there's probably pickup but it should be all flung off within a lap or so. Its normal for strings of rubber to fling off occasionally while driving too.

Finished turbo upgrade 2 days ago along with a new head gasket

Looks like there's still a lot sticking to the inside of the tire. Or, alternatively, holes/dents/chunks missing,
Might just be shading, but it's really consistent.

Bought a couple of plastic pieces that connect the coolant hoses to the block and head. Apparently these parts get brittle over time and can catastrophically fail resulting in the car dumping all the coolant while driving, and I'm fairly certain these are the culprits of my phantom coolant leak. Fucking german engineering.

moved interstate so I had to buy a bunch of bushings. went with stiffer urethane bushings.

mechanic doing the MOT inspection also decided to be a pedantic fuckwit and demand I buy all new bulbs because they were "dull" while checking them in direct sunlight even though they were only 6 months old. whatever, replaced them and kept the old ones as proof of changing them.

pcv valve and head gasket manifold

My car has been primer grey for over 5 years now, I just got it painted a nice midnight blue after making sure there wasn't any rust problems.

Oil pump, water pump, and a knock sensor for my truck. An O ring was brittle and cracked in the oil pump so sometimes my truck wouldn't want to get oil pressure on startup. It uses to get like 40 pounds, now it gets 60. Good stuff
>>
>>14912133

I bought it separately for $90

My car succumbed to overheating so im doing this as a preventative measure for the future after the top end rebuild.
