My girlfriend works till 2am tonight. I gotta work all day tomorrow.
Im thinking its time to spend a little time with the 'other' girl.
Who else is working on their other squeeze tonight?
 
I was going to until I got pulled into a soccer match. Oww...

Planning on getting a look at the heater core tomorrow, I've got a coolant leak in that portion of the cooling circuit. Also going to tighten the speedometer cable while I'm in there, and take a look at the headunit wiring.
 
I didnt get to devote entire night but a portion! Went on a test drive about 10 minutes ago in the Z and got completely sideways in second gear turning around in a dead end. The engine has really woken up finally!
 
Nope...waiting on parts. I did get the bike emissions tested today, though. I could've had six times the HC and 55 times the CO I had and still passed..heh.
 
I was going to pull my car into the bay today after work but it's been snowing off and on again all week. Therefor, MnDOT is making sure my car get it's daily salt bath every time I touch a free way. I'm already sneaking a friends car in for a detail tomorrow so maybe I'll clean mine up too.
 
Meh kind of. I was helping a family member move with my truck and my 3 year old moog balljoints with 10k miles or less are rattling. I filled them up with grease, if that counts.
 
I didn't see this thread last night... since I was busy working on the Miata, LOL!

I chased down a couple squeeks, fixed a couple leaks in the top, rebuilt the weather stripping that goes on the top frame, and painted my calipers.

I'm really hoping that I *finally* eliminated the leaks.
 
Last night I worked at piecing together the battery relocation - ran the positive cable from front to back, and put the cloth back in the frunk. Big job because I had to remove a pile of interior pieces to run the cable through the cabin. I also ran the cable through a currogated plastic conduit to protect it.

Then I finished rubberizing the right rear wheel well and put POR15 Chassis coat on the last suspension parts for the rear.

i am commiting the rest of the weekend to installing 2 solar panels and removing a water tank from my very old camper.
 
See brake calipers:

The blue came out too bright... I thought it'd be a bit darker. Damnit. I'll see if maybe they look good with some brake dust 😉
 
Today I played with the fuel level sender to get the proper gauge level and adjusted the ignition timing to lower the idle back to factory spec. Looks like tomorrow I'll get into the dash for the speedometer cable. The coolant leak is at the back of the motor, it looks like a piece of pipe attached to the block is the source.
 
I was going to swap my stock hid bulbs for 6k. But I didn't feel like busting out the jack and heater.
