Man.... I'm tired
 

Well, I started this morning at 9:00 am and I just got finished taking a shower and sitting down. Didn't even stop for lunch.

What did I do you ask?

I changed:

the MT6 trans fluid, Syntec 75W90

The Diff fluid, Royal Purple 75W90

Replaced both sway bars with my new Hotchkis set

Replaced all four springs with a set of unrevised 350Z springs I bought A FRICKIN' YEAR AGO...

And I did it all without air tools or a power lift (used jack stands).

I need to lose some weight and get back into shape. Heck at one point my hands were cramping so bad, I had to unfold my fingers from around the socket wrench! I feel like I've been run over by a truck.... :icon30:


I would post some pics, but it DARK! I'll get you some soon. I haven't even driven it yet! :mad:

Have a happy new year guys, I love tha' bunch of ya'!

i feel your pain.... a few weeks ago i did my shocks and springs at home. was supposed to have my brother come by and give me a hand, but never showed.

i ended up installing a new set of components in the doors today. much easier than doing springs but took a couple hours out of my day.

What did you put in?

yea i know what you mean, i changed my differential fluid today with Mobil1 synthetic 75w90

Wow you were busy. You got a lot accomplished.
I hear you on the losing weight and getting in shape. The joys ofgetting old :rolleyes: .

wow, thats alot of stuff.......


let us know how it drives.........

You were so tired you were delirious :)

Lots of good work done today Tex. You will feel very accomplished once you rest up a bit. Good stuff..Happy New Year

Very nice!

what method did you use to get the tranny fluid back in? is a pump necessary?

Yeah, I found a little cheap pump at WalMart for 8 bux. I had to add a little hose at the bottom of the suction tube to get all the oil out of the bottle, but it worked just fine.

That's the bitch, I haven't even driven it yet and now my wife is taking off for San Antonio to get the 60K service done. :icon09:

Nice work, 'scout, can't wait to see the pix.

ended up putting a set of Phoenix gold RSD 6.5s in the doors. they get really good reviews on some of the car audio forums ive looked at and are under $100 bucks a set shipped on ebay. i was going to install a 5 channel amp, but ran out of time.

nothing beats doing the work yourself.... i just had a tech do the oil change, flush the coolant, and drain and refill the tranny. now i have a small coolant leak and need find it. i didnt want to hassle with doing the work, but now i have to. if i would have just done it myself in the first place, this wouldnt be a problem.

I had Phoenix Golds in my old car and was pretty happy with them for the price.

Sweet... Was it a "bolt up" install or did you have to make some adapters?
