what did you do to your s12 today?!
Helped a friend inspect and buy a car, Came home, pulled the s12 out of the garage and into the rain :( to plop a 90 SI Civic on 4 jack stands and give her a good inspection. Flushed the brake system and cleaned a lot of chocolaty slime out of the master. Started heavily cleaning the interior, Made a new recliner cable on the drivers seat out of one of my spare brake cables for my bike and a home made crimp... pealed off shitty barely attached stock tint, rotated tires, flushed coolant, oil change, exhaust to header gasket (Stupid spring loaded bolts).
Tomorrow involves new brake lights, reverse lights, temporary patching off 1 very small hole a medium hole and a large hole, welding an exhaust leak, steam cleaning, scrubbing, and maybe new shifter bushings.... then its good for winter
The things i help do for friends :D

Defiantly bad shocks ^^

I've never seen these separators on the rear springs before.
(http://www.g-funk.net/200sx/lowered-car.jpg)
All done.
They were probably sagging alot so they were put there to lift it back up. There part of a lift/lowering kit
Put on some cunucks springs pretty disapointed can barely see a differance
I did put on some CM springs.
I'll edit post to show what i've installed.

They made an absolutely huge difference on my cars handling :S My springs were pretty bad tho

Did you replace your shocks also?
no i didnt change the shocks but they were replaced by the previous owner....i guess i thought they would be a lil stiffer and a lil lower
Made an account on a parts site and made a cart full of parts
turbo-s12 on 12:53:52 AM / 19-Dec-11no i didnt change the shocks but they were replaced by the previous owner....i guess i thought they would be a lil stiffer and a lil lower
what kind of shocks are they? I have read that stock shocks will blow out quickly, which is why you should use the kyb agx shock set up. If you go to my frankenshock thread you will see the difference i got using the shocks and the springs...it was better, but nothing like the coil over setup...

Before you flame (like I give a shit) NO ONE/ NO CARS WERE EVEN around for the three hours i was dicking around. If you live in L.A u know what DTLA looks like from 10pm to sunrise in any district lol..... And I also had my police scanner so no fuzz.... however there were three 187s and a few 211s so that kept them busy.....
Oh how I miss socal.. hahahah

I had to drive my 15 year old brother and his girlfriend home in my S12 tonight. Pffff, Anybody else have to "Chauffeur" ever?
I would hah
prob gonna finish cutting my bumper tomorrow so I can install it back on the car i'm tired of rolling with no bumper on she just doesn't look as sexy...
Yesterday, I sold her engine, today, I bought a Pathfinder to replace her, and got bitched at about the fact that it's in the driveway, still.
boooooo
Drove her around and purchased 4 times the cars price in parts (I would hate to think of the money in it if i included everything else awaiting a trans plant)
fixed the clutch master cylinder...
Did a burnout like a boss
i am actually going to buy a pathfinder with my tax return money....:p. Two nights ago i went to go pick up the girl after work and i got bored since it was late out and i took the notch up to 100 for the first time. The suspension felt really good at speed...it even took a bump really well at like 70+. I drove it around a bit tonight and yesterday...i am on day 2 of 4 days off and i dont feel like doing jack shit...
Cleaning the new heart
sam31183 on 09:14:29 PM / 30-Dec-11i am actually going to buy a pathfinder with my tax return money....:p.Dude, the WD21 is incredible. I threw it at the shit pushed to the sides of where they're extending this one road, and bone stock, it didn't give a damn about the mud or several 2-foot drops and raises. And mine's 21 years old lol Matt Smith's GMC would have thought twice, I guarantee it xD Just don't get the R50 or later, they suck. (In a related vein, Xterras are WD22, WD23, and WD24 0_o)
I stole the S12's radio harness to swap the Pathy's radio. Thinking of cannibalizing her speakers, too. May as well make some use of her right?
popped a battery cell doing a burnout
I washed it today and painted the wheels last week
Welded my seat bracket back together. :D
Looked at how sexy it was as I pulled into my driveway. Remembered why I fell in love with S12s in the first place. I'm gonna miss her.
finished cutting my bumper the other day....
Drove around for hours. avoided getting hit by the same person 2 times, Avoided 3 other vehicles came home and called it a fucking night :S
Curbed the fuck out of my rear pass rear last night so pissed about that....
Put it on stock wheels!
THE HORROR!!!
LOL I still got my stock rims for fun fun time :D but i hate them

She was missing the a bitch tho, needs timing to be checked ASAP. And rego, and insurance.
