- Fri Aug 24, 2012 9:24 pm #314213 had a day off work today so i decided to get some stuff done 8)

took the fuel rail off and painted it black. swapped some different injectors into it hoping to fix the gosh darn surging rev problem that found its way back... didnt help... but looks better now. cleaned up the injector wiring and all that jazz.

how badass would a coilover(from a mountain bike) shift knob be for a static car?!?!?! :headbang: gunna try and make it work soon
Image

tried shaving a 2nd cam cover. turned out alright i guess but it aint perfect and it bugs me :x tried my best. getting a gasket either today/tomarrow and puttin her on
Image

Image

i got everything as smooth as i could. and noticed i trimmed off the cam cover guard. ive seen it done on some B series covers but never seen it on a D series hope im the first.


I seriously dont think i will ever want to cover another set of door panels ever again... such a pain in the ass and they didnt turn out all that great. but not bad for my first attempt i guess. there are spots that lifted and some wrinkles i could not for the life of me get out. but it wasnt the most cooperative or forgiving fabric either. something thicker and with a little more stretch would have been easier but the headliner and rear deck lid are already done in the same bandanas.
