Since only 2 horns worked, I wired them up and they are ready to hook up. Had to use a relay because of how the Cadillac fans work. I will be able to test them in the upcoming days since it rained today.



Took a shot of my porter cable, pads, and towels. I need more milk crates to hold all of this stuff! I buffed my dad's truck to get the hang of things, and because it needed it badly. I will be using sealant instead of wax (or at least before it) because it protects for much longer.

I'm going to Portsmouth Naval Hospital even though I'm a grunt corpsman and should be with the marine division but... whatever. I can get back to my fiance and cars now.

I didnt do what I wanted this weekend, as the truck had some serious brake problems. I wont be putting my head in until I have a reliable car to drive to and from work while the Integra is out of commission.

I started out Friday tackling the front calipers. Got the driver side front all buttoned up, but the passenger side's bleeder valve was rusted off, and a brake line stuck on the caliper. Picked up a reman'd caliper and ordered the brake line, so she sits until I can finish the brakes. I also plan on rebuilding the read drums. Have all the springs and the drum pad, but it will be a first for me.

This is what I did to my car. One of the horns was just a failure, so I used 1 of the 3 I bought as well as the horn I put on that came off an Intrepid. Pictures do the talking. Horn is much louder and will get peoples attention. You can also see the speaker port/ velocity stack installed on my intake pipe.

Abec 7's ;)

I like to roll as far as I can. That was one of my first "modifications" when I did my hood latch relocation!

I never use mine, because in an emergency men swerve to avoid the crash and dont have time to honk. Women lay on the horn and plow straight into the accident. :lol:

I use my horn to honk at people standing on the street with signs that say "honk to support breast cancer walk event ". Or "honk if you're horny" :lol:.

I avoid accidents, but I also like to make a point to let the other driver know how much of a complete idiot they are.

Got some work going today. Took some PTO to get the exhaust done and that didnt work out as planned. So I said what the hell and got to the motor. I'll let the pics do the talking.

I definitely need some new front tires. My alignment is pretty far off and chewing them up. I will probably get some new ones in 2 weeks, and replace my CV boots during that time.


I also realized that my coolant level has been dropping because of my radiator... This is my GodSpeed radiator I picked up from eBay. The fins on this side has also shifted and bowed out. Dont know why.

And garaged up for the night. I swapped over the parts from the stock manifold, and realized the throttle cable bracket location on the S2 intake is different. Not sure what I am going to need to hook it up just yet
