An unfortunate event


So last night, driving home from work, the car gets clipped by someone running a red light making a left turn, and I managed to avoid a direct hit, but still got clipped on the side.

The damage isn't too bad, but it's still a set-back.


The irony here is that I took a picture this morning of my car. I decided to take it to work because it was a nice, cool, and non humid day. So this morning before work,



On my way home

Time for a change


More updates!

Unfortunately I didn't take pics of this update, and should have. But I was short on time, as I was prepping to head to Disney/Orlando/Gartner ITexpo. So needed to work quick on the car.


Basically did a full timing belt job which included changing of

Timing Belt
Tensioner Pulley
Idler Pulley
Tensioner
Balance Shaft
Balance Shaft Tensioner
Middle Timing Belt Cover ( didn't have one before and added )
Top timing belt cover ( added as well )
Water Pump


Well worth having the piece of mind. Knowing that the car will now have another 60k miles of the belts not needing to be replaced for a while, or risk breaking them.


I did however, get a nice picture of the GSX outside the hotel parking. :)


Unfortunately the car is still so very far from the finished product that I want it to be. With the lack of resources (money), and time. It's very difficult to get it exactly the way I want it. However, this doesn't mean I'll be giving up on it. Will just take a while.
