Finally home after a long 2 weeks of traveling with work, got home at 8am
and started screwing with the car at 1030am..

Replaced both axles
Both control arms
all motor mounts including trans mounts and firewall torque rod mount.
changed oil
rotated the tires
coolant flush
took the back deck off to try to align the trunk... decided to stop there i was getting pissed.

Im too tired im going to bed..

 

Had Motor mount bushing replaced..It may need to be broken in because car seems to have more vibration

02 S60

 

Cleaned up the S70. The red looks real good. Need some bug and tar removal so I can wax it.

 

Today I fixed a broken rubber line for my evap emissions! Kept smelling fuel smell when I parked! Yesterday I tackled my t-belt. Only took 2 hours to do! Also changed my sway bar end links.

 

Wired my cold start injector to a push button.

 

Admired my new OBX exhaust before its installation...
sanded my wing, and roof.

found out that my passenger seat was missing 2 of the bolts that hold it down.... hahahaha that one way to get the girlfriend to shut up about driving too fast..

 

Finally polished and waxed the 244T. it was way over do. now it needs a claybar.

also failed smog, becuase stupid cali lowered the max allowed emissions by 40%.
complete crap. meh, the cat is bad, and now its getting a new 3" turboback.

 

whaddya know, i get supplies needed for an oil change and no problems there. i drive 45 min then the freakin headlight blows....again..argghh!!! Back to parts store. Got more bulbs and some sealant. I was told to seal the rubber around the headlamp to prevent moisture. And that concludes what I did to that S60 today!! Thanks for reading and allowing me to vent!!!

 

Serviced tranny in wagon. Also checked all fluid levels, looks well serviced.

 

I changed the compressor and the a/c accumulator. Was a pretty easy job.

 

Change the upper and lower radiator hoses. One clamp needed to be Dremel cut off.
2001 S80

 

Found my 850 door Sills on ebay.. got them for $20.00...


Also May have found a connection for a used R front spoiler for $120... we will see what happens

 

Cleaned sunroof track and checked tranny fluid level. (Wagon)

 

I replaced the bushing on the upper torque mount on my V70. Worked really well with a home-made pressing tool using this write-up:

I was quoted $150 for this job at indie mechanic - parts cost me ~$10. So glad about the savings.

 

Attempted to clean the extremely stuck on brake dust off the rims with brake cleaner...worked great, too great. started to take off the "paint" or whatever makes the rims silver. guess I'll have to deal with the brake dust spots for now.....

 

Order the P21s Gel... It works wonders... and it wont hurt your wheels.

 

Got the turbo inspected due to a weird 14psi issue, not that I dont mind the extra psi.
Washed about 25 lbs of bird sh*t off of the roof.
Put on my new shift ****.

 

Took a trip to the U-Pick and spent a quick $4 on some minor stuff.


Did a rough mock-up of the Intake that im making... Key word rough!

Next is to mock up a final draft to EXACT size.
Transfer to the aluminum.
Fire up the Plasma and cut it out
Weld it up..
Enjoy My new Intake with out spending $150+

 

The wagon got two coats of Show room new on the bumpers, cowl, mirrors and roof rack....Awsome product looks spectacular

 

New intake gasket, flame trap cleaned and repaired, rebuilt injectors installed.
One freaking spark plug changed (after 2.5 hours and removing part of the exhaust manifold) the rest are almost hopelessly stuck.

Next up is a brake caliper rebuild and wheel replacement.
