What did you do to your Gen7 today?

[Mike]

Changed the drivers side power lock actuator... What a nightmare!

[Mike]

Today I replaced my scratched up passenger side window pillar. Also as a result of Tim's ridicule I replaced all the clips in my bumper and grill. Replaced my 9005 HID's Now having an issue where one doesn't turn on until I turn them off then on again.

You also didn't like it Mike, so don't put all the blame on me.  Is the relay on that side clicking when you turn the high beams on?  We can take a look at that one day if you want.

As far as me, I drove my car to Paul.  He did most of the work and now the engine is sitting next to the car with the tranny a few feet away.  He found a few problems that we will hopefully be addressing and repairing tomorrow.  Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday afternoon, I'll be breaking in my new clutch on my way home.  Other work that I actually did (not just watching Paul do everything) was cleaning out my engine bay and removing my clutch and clutch master cylinder.  More to come tomorrow.

Good to hear progress is being made... You have PM about my silly light issue.

I agree with that one. LOL.

Well, my trunk is still letting some water in. Been raining hard here and I got a couple drops in. A lot better than before but I think it's staying that way.

[thisaznboi88]

well its not a scrape really more like something from a tree fell on the car and did something to the paint. Its brown/oj spots on the car. Ill take a pix of it. I tried to clay it out, no use. Then I tired to hand polish it out, no use. Going to use a machine next. If not screw it.

[CrackerTeg]

Wouldn't that create some odd looking offspring?

[JDMJNKY]

Good news.... Sold the regas, EAST COAST HERE THEY COME!! so now new wheels are on the way! Also got the interior detailed today. While I was outside today I found out my old mugen style mesh grill fits my asian bumper...Crazy LOL I could have skimped on a new grill hehe - but I like the asia grill anyway!

[dizzle]

got my new wheels put on. the mechanics were worried i would be rubbing more but they look the same. they couldnt get my front passenger on because of my wheel studs (partially cut due to stripped threads.) fixing the studs tomorrow.

[JDMJNKY]

Ouch..... who stripped the threads? will you be posting pics as well?

[timot_one]

I'm going to get a big fucking gun to shoot mine tomorrow.

[dizzle]

Ouch..... who stripped the threads? will you be posting pics as well?

its hard to say. it could have been them because i went there 3 weeks ago to get new tires, and they most likely used a impact wrench to put the wheels back on. im not terribly upset, it just means i need to spend more time on my car putting new studs in. ill be posting up pics fairly soon (more like when i get the studs and wheel on lol).

*TODAY 8/24/10*

Got my studs in today. Kind of funny because I started working on it while my dad and uncles were working on another car. They pretty much took over the whole thing. Thought they needed to pull the wheel hub to get the studs back in but i showed them you can just hammer it back in lol. Anyways here are some teasers I guess until I get the car cleaned.

[Mike]

Replaced my HID bulbs again, and fixed an issue that occurred with my low beam wiring harness (Stupid cheap ass hong kong connectors)
