bolts and nuts replacement

I really love the idea to replace all the bolts and nuts on the car.

I'm currently looking into possibilites and try to figure out what the best way would be!

At some point I also want to rebuild the engine (not this year though), so either I do the replacement now or when the rebuild will be done.

Decisions, decisions....

new Update

Here a few more pics finally!

Love doing the before and after pics and as I was bored I tried to clean the engine bay and the front a lil bit.
Also new goodies and a nice snapshot during the sunset...loved the light :)

3 months plan

It's been a while since I last posted. But nothing is going on really.
I get stuff almost every month for the car and dream about having my S14 back on the road.
I come across so many ideas and visions in my head, that I never seem to be able to finally decide for what design/look/power I'm going for.

Especially after Gatebil!
Yeah....thats right, I was in Norway for the coolest car festival ever!
So many crazy cars and projects over there!
After the spin in a 600+ Mustang (that sound!!!) I want more power too ha. It was amazing to be in a drift train with the Forumla D driver Voughn Gittin JR. Man i still cant believe how lucky I was!
The car I was sitting in was driven by a Saudi Arabian guy :)


But last weekend I once more spent loads of time in the unit to think about what I'm going to do (besides cleaning up and talking to my baby haha)

I've came up with something new and decided following:
Every 3 months, I'm going to set a few goals for the car and I also try to archieve them.
That worked best for me last year when I set myself goals for my drifting proccess.
Not too much pressure and still time to get stuff done.

So my new 3 months-plan focuses only on the engine and engine bay.
I'm gonig to tidy it up, replace parts, clean shit up and see what else is needed. The engine bay itself needs no respray as she is still very clean and mint, so I'll focus on the engine and all the parts an wires now.
I already started to take more parts off to see where what is located and that I can say to 100%: I know every single bolt in my car.

Anyway, the next 3 months you will hopefully read more here and lets see how it goes :)

new corner lights

nom nom nom crystal clear, i love them!

says it all :D

more work done

Last Saturday I spent around 5 hours in the unit. Most of the time I wasn't on my own, my other half cleaned his beamer and I worked on my car (shouldn't it be the other way around? just kidding haha).

It felt like I did loads, but it was just a little bit here and there which added up.
It looked like that though:

I also took out the rear lights to give them some nice clean up and polish. I might write an extra post for that. For all the drift-lads its probably very boring to see but most of all, I just want to keep track of what I do. I love to go into details and discover every sinlge inch of my car. I want to know her to 100% and as I'm a girl and no mechanic, I just love to learn and discover my aswesome car <3.

So, I only got a few pictures actually.
I gave the hydro handbrake a bit of a paint, removed a bit of rust (nothing special but the cheap Halford rust remover is really cool) and I had to crawl into the boot! (it was funny as there is not much space haha)
The boot lock always snaps, it is weird and not like it should be.
I already noticed that during my track days. The boot would always jump open, funny to drift with an open boot :P

So another thing on the list.
And I actually created a list which already contains over 30 things left to do.
I love my project, never gets boring :)

new goodies

Should look sweet :D

And got this yesterday in Mondello (IDC)
