I've been meaning to update this. Nothing super exciting, but making progress.
Shortly after the car had been serviced, noticed a pretty awful bearing sound coming from the engine. So the car sounded like **** for months while I tried to get the right pulley.
Finally got all my parts.
RDA750, RDA751. Just plain face. I couldn't justify double the cost for slotted/drilled. The fronts were covered with the newer anti-rust gun barrel stuff while the rears weren't. My mechanic sprayed the rear hats for free, which was nice.
Pads are Project Mu HC800 (Fronts) and NS400 (Rears). Didn't intend for mismatched pads, but the supplier didn't have stock of the NS400 fronts and upgraded me.
Brakes definitely feel better with new fluid, rotors and pads. Probably not the huge upgrade I would have liked, but those big brake kits are super expensive, and trying to find parts for the GT4 upgrade seemed like a huge pain.
Also got the trans flushed. Not sure that there's a huge improvement, but glad it's done.
After all that and having the alternator tensioner pulley replaced, the sound was still there . . .Turned out that it was actually the air-con.
The air-con never worked, and was completely empty of freon so time for it to all go. Had pretty much everything removed, except for the evap unit in the dash.
Other than that, just some strut bars. Really didn't need them, but they look cool.
Also got some custom rocker covers super cheap on sale. Probably wont have them put on until the engine is cleaned up a bit.
Nothing else much planned any time soon. Assuming good weather (and no more problems), I'll probably be taking it to All Japan Day in February.
Going to be studying soon and back to being super poor, so suspension might get a look at when my Austudy funds build up.
