Fitted the new coolant bypass valve and the car seems to be going ok since.. still getting too hot in slow traffic tho.... Starts going up to 99 to 102°c... I always try to avoid that completely by turning the A/C on full blast..

I'll never forget the "National Geographic" shoot from my youth on one of your mates fitting a beer keg (chilled!!) under the dash for those hot days down under. Although 102 "c" seems a bit Mercury-like.

Engine oil and filter plus gearbox oil change today and new front tyres. 5th set I have had fitted to the front with the same set on the rear the whole time which were at first on the front for 2 weeks.. definitely save money IMO by not rotating your tyres.

Car just passed 131,000km the other day.

Still haven't been able to pinpoint that 3 cylinder startup problem. I'm leaning towards a dirty injector.. New aftermarket coil packs and aftermarket colder sparkplugs had ZERO effect on the problem.. Does it about 50% of cold startups and about say 85% of hot startups.. Been doing it since about 85000km.. Very strange and never misfires under load or at high revs.. Been doing some coughing while idling the last couple of months too but it comes and goes..

Starting to upgrade the sound system today. Blaupunkt 8" slim powered subs in the trunk. Bose sub in the spare tire.
Also have a fosgate 750x5 amp with p132 3.5" in the A pillar and p1675s components for the front doors. I eliminated the rear door speakers all together. Was thinking of adding bass shakers under both front seats as well. If that's not enough, then I may make the spare tire area a sub box. 1670083292941.png 1670083314409.png 1670083342111.png 1670083751129.png

Got a pedal spacer and cover from @SirThomas88 ‘s sale on Etsy. Nice solid products. Just using the cover for now - got the spacer as a backup in case I wanted different spacing even with the cover. Now I can heel-toe easily even with my narrow driving shoes - before I had to be selective about shoe width. 893D2790-C859-43B7-BC77-C5CC3A78D990.jpeg 1AC11F18-DA41-4E32-9907-05DD36A48000.jpeg

This was a bit ago, but finished installing an Ultra Racing 22mm (7/8”) front sway bar and Delrin steering rack bushings. Along with Vudu subframe alignment pins. Really happy with the results.

Also, 6 foot cheater bar made the torque-to-yield subframe bolts much more managable.

Those subframe alignment bolts,

I don't track my car, do I want these? I'm all about improving the cars feel and handling. Notice anything after install?

Anyone have the subframe bolts torque specs handy if I decide to throw a set of these in?
