Replaced engine mounts that have been dead for far too long. engine now sits at least an inch higher.

Oh yah, I replaced transmissions mounts too because they were broken in half.

Fuck oil pan gaskets. I swear to god, next time I do mine, I'm putting a bead of RTV around the outside of it.

Here's to hoping by the time I get around to doing it, I have an M30 on the stand, and I can just do it there. :drink:

I know, it was just an estimate, I weighed everything I removed on a scale and then just subtracted it from 2800. I did get a little carried away and removed a lot but I can always put it back. no rear seats, no tar,no tools,no spare, no insulation anywhere,no AC, foam removed from inside all door card things, no washer system, electric fan,no trim in trunk, and so on. realistically the car probably weighs more than 2800 stock, but I did weigh everything I removed because it's sitting in the corner of my room;)


today I prepped my IS lip for paint

Mine was only 2765 stock. Right now I have it at 2591 with AC (doesn't work though so that's going to be the next thing to go) and all the seats/carpet. Radio is still in too.

I used ONLY RTV on my oil pan.

The Bible (aka Bentley) says to use RTV on the gasket. -EDIT turns out that's the timing cover, not the pan gasket.

I'll be checking on mine soon, there's a track I want to visit at the end of the month (NHMS FTW), and I don't think they'll appreciate me dumping oil on all the uphill sections.
