Not that anyone is really interested in what I did, but I'm bored. ZR
First day after the last day of school(I got a 3.57, yay!) I did my 120k(@105k). This solved a coolant leak, and of course I now have a new belts etc. Then I went to the Moroso show and shine with the SFZCC. my car

After that I helped my cousin change his valve cover seals on his 91 crown victoria, 5.0. I ended up breaking a bolt that holds the valve cover in the head. This was a stupid mistake, his Haynes book said torque to 150...........in/lb. Everything else in the book was ft/lb, so we just assumed, even though it sounded extremely high, it must be ft/lb. Well we found out the hard way. Luckily we got the broken bolt out with a screw extracter from Home Depot. Whole thing took a few days. No more oil leak for him.

I start working on a new sub enclosure for the Z. old setup
 new setup w/ ebay bar(actually fit well)
 I'm gonna have to re-glue the edges, as you can se they bubbled up a bit. You can't see the sub from back window, but you can see the amp a bit.

Next, about 400 miles after the tbelt install, I find oil on water outlet tube, and smoke coming from pass. tbelt cover after I turn the car off. This is fustrating. I take everything back apart again and fine my intake cam gear back casing is moving separate from the gear, leaking the oil. While I was there I checked my cam seals, and they all looked fine and didn't look like they had leaked.
I quickly ordered the gear next day air from Z1. Yesterday, day after I ordered, while waiting for the package, I installed my ebay rear strut tower bar, and finished the new sub/amp setup. I was getting worried, cause it was 4pm and still no gear. I thought Z1 may have let me down, but they didn't, the gear finally came at 5pm. So ups let me down on bringing it so late. I started back inbut it got dark at 6, and I quit.
I finished putting everything together this moring before my first day back to school in a few hours.
 Next dilemma
I couldn't get my car started. I played with the starter relay, even tried the bypass, but it still nothing, just a bunch of clicking. Battery was fine. Cleaned ptu connectors, still nothing. After I just kept turning the key, it finally started. But it ran like shit. I first thought I had the tbelt off a few teeth or something, which I would of then procceded to hang myself. I moved the ptu harnes around a bit, and noticed the engine ran different in different postions. Now I think my ptu harness is bad, but it just turns out I didn't reconnect them all the way after I cleaned them. Finally she's back running again. I'm hoping no more oil leak, but I won't check for a few days, I don't think I can take anymore stress right now. While doing all this, I also notice my Master Brake Cylinder is leaking. I am starting to run out of money and patience with this car, but it is so damn sexy and fun to drive. Sorry if some of my sentences are run-ons or don't make sense. I'm not an english major.
