So what did you do to your SHO today!?

[kryptto]

Just talked too him hes gonna just do the chains tensioners etc and water pump but he says he can’t guarantee noise will be gone

get him to do the oil pump too, also replace any parts that need be while accessing the water pump. there are a ton of threads here with the parts needed to do the job.

Looking for the comprehensive water pump replacement thread...can't find it

Well, after 125k miles my daily finally had an issue...most likely water pump. There was a really good comprehensive thread on dyi replacement, part numbers, etc and I can't seem to find it if someone can throw me a bone. Thankfully nothing in the oil , but looks to be running out from behind...

Changed my rear view camera. The picture was upside down and the lines were gone. Not that I depend on it for backing but it was kinda ghetto.

Makes no sense that a screwed up camera would just decide to display an upside down picture and no lines but I took the chance and bought a cheepy for forty bucks and…back in action.

The angle is no wider but the picture is better than ever. The original cameras resolution are 600, the new one is 1080, but that’s useless because it’s hampered by the 800 resolution screen.

Gotta love the corkiness of these cars. Back up cams, water pumps, timing chains, fuel injectors. But man when they're right....I hated my car for the first time this morning and I'm in love with it again by tonight.

Have been wanting to do this for a long time, finally had time to complete this project. It's totally stupid and useless but my OCD didn't like seeing a piece of the reverse light not being used. So I made use of it and it might be brighter at night but if it isn't oh well.

That is an OCD project. I like it!

Ordered my new low pressure fuel bucket to convert - paid for my Deatschwerks 340lph, then also picked up a new CSF replacement radiator - stock fan/shroud and various replacement parts for my GH IC install. Yeah I am that thorough to make sure I replace all wear items and have spares of what can break or need replacing.

Well now that I am done getting home, it arrived and tested.

 

[Junkyard_Mad-Scientist]

Been more house focused these last few weeks and I think the SHO is getting jealous. Driving to work this morning with a flight to catch and I get a pop and a flutter noise and loss of power. Figured it was a turbo hose that popped because it drove okay (like an sel lol) but hoped it wasn't an impeller retiring from service. Ended up being the throttle body tube itself after I limped it home. It blew off the throttle body and landed perfectly to where i couldnt see it and i didnt think to check it. The clamp is shot. Standard worm drive clamp should work right?

Should be fine

Added a Steeda throtlebody spacer for shtts and giggles.

Any noticeable difference?

I will let the logs tell. I can't say for sure, the best I saw was on initial take off, more responsive I would say. EDIT: So my working theory instead of saying the spacer is good or bad, to put in the Deatchwerks lpfp bucket, and the GH IC - then run new logs and let Brad tell me what he is seeing. NO it wont give me an affirmative that the spacer did "this" or the modified TB I installed added say 'x' but in the end all together what does it do for me is my hopes.

Finally installed the Deatschwerks upgraded LPFP. Next project Gearhead Intercooler.

I changed my lower control arms today. I'm not sure if the issue existed before the replacement but the front passenger tire is sitting further forward then the left one now. I made no alignment adjustments and couldn't see any damage to tie rods/etc. I'll take it Monday for an alignment. They should be able to fix that issue, right?

Yeah, they want to make money they should.

 

[kryptto]

6 1/2 hours and the Gearhead IC is now installed. That and new parts. Getting there...

Next get some logs...
