My differential was humming a bit, I think it's limited slip is worn out. So today I swapped it out for a used open diff. The bad news is the quiet humming has been replaced by a loud grinding. I'm pretty sure the input bearing is no good. Tomorrow I get to put the original back in...yay.

Changed the warn out water pump on Zippy. It has been a headache for the past month. The car has a completely new cooling system now.

Soldered a broken mirror adjustment cable back on the pin socket and fixed a sticky backseat latch.

That rubber coating works great until it splits somewhere and gets jammed into the action to muck everything up

There seems to be an ever-so-slight difference in modulation but when I pulled it all apart, there was probably less than 0.5mm of pad left and the pedal was getting a little funky anyway. I'm thinking that was the difference I felt.

Chased a vacuum leak causing a rough idle and an outrageously annoying howling noise. Turned out to be both the ICV and PCV. Runs like a dream now!

Installed new front coilovers... Now the rears; the tunnel needs to be opened up and the brake line needs to be moved around.

So...more stuff to work on.

Thumbs up

Yesterday's project: Suspension upgrade for the Cali


I'll likely raise the front of the Cali 1/2" from a practicality standpoint as it's my DD.


The TI on the left has the Coilovers, the TI on the right has Billy Sports with HR Super Sports.


I have the valve dampening adjustment at the midpoint. Firm, but not spine jolting. I'll need to read up on adjusting the camber plates. I'll see how it rides after I get over this stomach flu or whatever it is. I suspect I'd make myself puke driving like I stole it...

Next project is a M3 brake booster and Master Cylinder in prep for 330CI front brakes.

I changed my right rear tire for the first time on the road in darkness last night. For the previous half hour of driving I could tell something was about to happen. Glad it was just the tire that went.

First time I laid eyes on my spare, not good. Looked to be the original and was cracking. Limped it to a gas station, aired it up and made it 40 miles home.

Looks like I'm tire shopping. It had Yokohama YK580's on it, not recommended.
