Well... as luck would have it, my front right wheel bearing just started making an insufferable noise. Cool.

That can easily be remedied in a parking lot. I've seen it.

Yeah... not hard, just annoying because it should have been fixed but I was an idiot and broke on of the brand new wheel bearings I bought...

But with this I decided to do some other things I had kind of forgotten about. Got a new intake boot, thermostat and gaskets, and the bearing stuff coming.

Got some new parts today.



Round two for this fucker.



Bought a thermostat too...



However, I meant to buy the 80 degree one but I accidentally bought the 75 degree one. Maybe it'll be fine for the summer but I think I'll definitely want to change to an 80 degree one for the fall/winter.



Went out and quickly replaced my intake boot.

Well... that's not right.



Edit: I also bought a bunch of gaskets but those won't be going on for a little while.

Always like these two... 350 and 360 respectively.

^ I love the look of wood wheels but I would rather have a leather one, I think.

Black with brushed center. And you can plastidip the center black also if you ever need to.

I'd def go for leather over wood. IMO wood doesn't look right in a car made in the 80s.

This is the wheel I had my eye on...

[mbonanni]

Black center is dope. Dont care for red stitching though. Doesn't match anything. Unless you have all black interior and those red evo seatbelts.

[rturbo 930]

I just pulled that pic off google. I agree, black stitching would look better.

Edit: apparently it only comes with red stitching :/

Did some work today.

Replaced the front right wheel bearing and replaced the brakes in the front.



Silly kitty...



Pretty, new hub. Ugly, gross everything else...



New Brembo blanks. I think I'll clean my fender wells/all the stuff in there when I refresh the bushings and whatnot.



Art's silly E30.





Rolled Stella out to work on Art's car.



Had to replace the waterpump gasket on his S52.



Silly puppies.

I'm not really sure what brake pads I had before but these Akebono pads don't have nearly the bite my old ones have. Maybe they'll wear in or something. I hope.

nice.
