Brake Pads Just ArrivedGreat, just what I needed, a reminder that modern life is all about incremental progress and never-ending maintenance.
Brake Pads Are Fine NowApparently they didn't get too worn out after all and now the pedal feels marginally lighter.
Still Not A Fan ClubReplaced the brake rotors and pads on my '68 Mustang, because who doesn't love the sound of squealing discs at 60mph?
Rear suspension bits arrivingJust what I needed to make my weekend go from 0-60 in a straight line into 1000 hours of tedious reassembly.
New Engine Installed SlowlyA week of tinkering with a simple swap has already left me questioning my sanity about DIYs.
Engine swap done wrongJust spent 48 hours rebuilding my engine and still haven't found a single part that's actually usable.
Overhyped Hypercar ReviewDisappointing performance and mediocre design make the Koenigsegg Agera a bloated, overpriced Swedish mess.
Rebuilt engine sort of worksThe weird rattle has gone away and the thing runs without crying, but I'm sure something else will fail soon.
Bored with the ModestHad to spend hours researching 80s Corvair parts online because nobody stocks them anymore and it's just great.
The New Engine Block ArrivedBecause of course the supplier got my order wrong again and had to special order the exact same part from a different distributor.
Rear subframe replacement woesThe supplier's tolerances are apparently still not good enough for me to trust their parts.
Suspension sorted at lastSpent hours fiddling with rates and rebound but it's finally stopped the car from diving too much on bumps.
Slightly Faster NowJust spent an extra $2000 on a slightly faster engine mount and I can finally say the car is marginally quicker.
Oil Filter Change DisasterSwapped out a gasket that was supposed to last 50k miles and now my wallet is worse off.
Rear Main Bearing ReplacementFinally, a non- catastrophic bearing failure that didn't leave me stranded on the side of the road for three hours last night.
Slightly Better Suspension FitFinally managed to get the shocks aligned without completely losing my mind after a 5-hour struggle with the stupid spring compressor.
Slightly Better Paint JobThe subtle sheen on my recently refinished ride is marginally less bad than before and that's about all I can say.
My Favorite Suspension UpgradesSwapped out the stock shocks for some decent aftermarket ones and it's now more planted than I thought possible.
