What did you do to your Gen7 today?

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Couldn't you get that Katzkin leather wrap that Bill got for his car? Or is it the cushions themselves that are fucked?

[timot_one]

Got some boxes full of parts and opened them.

Dont have the time to commit to that project.

Clean up my leather seats.

Now that they're clean, all the flaws just stick out that much more.  I want new seats!

what type of flaws?

Here's a quick and dirty of what I've been up to.

Currently sitting at Firestone getting her aligned. Better pics coming later.

Z, what springs you on?

[CrackerTeg]

Coils actually.

[Arielit0oo]

What coils then?

[CrackerTeg]

I went with drop zone coils and shocks. They're local and I've used their stuff before.

raced the hell out of it at the track last night all the way til 1am

First real nice day we had, so I washed it and got pretty disappointed :/ noticed the painter did a pretty sub par job. Tiger stripes on the passenger side lower part of the door and on the rear driver dog leg and the spoiler. It's barely noticeable but I know it's there...worst part is he is practically family so to keep the peace I'm not even going to bother fighting with him over it.

 I decided to put off the exterior parts and start collecting motor parts. When my motor is good to go I'll just pull the old one and I'll just redo the whole car and paint it myself. Probably clean up the engine bay too while I'm at it.

With that said I took the money I was saving for exterior parts and purchased a k24a4 short block locally got it for $300. I'm going to order some rods (Manley turbo tuff), pistons (Weisco or CP 87.5mm with a 9.5:1 compression ratio ) and probably some ACL race bearings (which tend to be a little bit on the loose side which I hear is better for boost due to thermal expansion). I'm going to tear it down, and send the block, crank, bearings, rods and pistons out to the machine shop to have them bore the block to the specs of the pistons.

I may get them to assemble the short block. Still unsure right now. Buying go-fast parts makes me feel more satisfied anyways :p aha

^Wanna paint my car and I'll cover some of those boost parts ?

Spent most of today detailing her so that, from a distance, it looks great. Cleaned and conditioned the seats, polish, wax n seal the wheels, polish n wax the exterior (saw the first phase of clear coat failure) whipe down the engine bay, cleaned out the trunk, took a 2x4 to the floor mats and polish my headlights.

^ Post up some pics! LoL! And I live on an island on the east coast of Canada (almost as far east as you can get) I don't think I'd be able to paint your car Sorry.

You going to sleeve the block too?  You may want to check up on the shop that would be doing the assembly of the short block.  That can make or break your build.
