New to the g family + maintenance

So first off I would like to thank everyone on forum for all being so helpful even though i haven't really talk to anyone but I have been lurking around checking out misc stuff especially in the DIY section .

Some things that I've done so far with the help of the forums.

-replaced stock rad/ with mishimoto rad
-rotors/pad replacement
-drain and fill trans with Redline MT-90
-rear diff fluid
-replaced starter
-replaced alternator
-idler pulley delete
-window motor replacement
-replace ugly orange side markers with clear markers

Next on my to do list is:

-control arms

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. The gears grind in every single gear above 4k rpm. Otherwise below 4k it shifts fine. What also puzzles me is that it also grinds if you depress the clutch in neutral about halfway. So i'm assuming the synchros are bad.

So another thing about the trans or whatever is wrong with the car. The car, while in neutral, from time to time while you depress the clutch halfway. it will grind.

I want to say it took me about two hours for the entire process. Including the burping procedure. It's really quite simple nothing difficult about it.

There are some fitment issues with the mishimoto radiator. It's a little big, I have it against the condenser and it's still a little big being that it's a duo core radiator. Other than that, I have this radiator up till now and it works great!

Uh, the stock amber corners look WAY better than those eBay clears. If you want some JDM clears I have some bumps or non bumps I'll sell you if you wanna be a true gangster.

It's all about the build. No one way is correct, but quality is always a must.

It's entirely subjective. haha. I don't like ambers or ever will. I do have amber bulbs in them.

How is the stock ambers better than the clears?? The clear corners he has on there looks just fine.
