Got some things done today... (pictures inside)

[Nevin]

Well howdy do everyone. Decided to go put my new air filter on today and check out a few other things on the car that I hadn't inspected yet.

Put my summer wheels back on last week but hadn't yet re-checked the torque on the lugs or rechecked the air pressure.

Ahh, nice... 90 ft./lbs is what I usually go with on passenger cars. Then I put 40 psi in the front tires and 38 psi in the rear. Sweet.


Next up, time for a new air filter. The autozone special was undersized and getting dirty. New K&N on the left, old on the right...



Location of the old filter...


Shortened this piece a bit to fit the filter in there.



And that was that for easy maintenance stuff so then I went over to the carwash and decided to hose off the beast. Cars, unlike puppies, toddlers, and kittens; LOVE bathtime, so I figured I'd oblige.



ANd it came out nice and clean...






Also, I recently finished my intake (tomsvx style) and got it all painted, so I thought I'd toss in a photo of that as well.



And THAT my friends, is what I did this afternoon. And it was great. The end.
