Put in a new/used driverside axle...no more clicking and clacking except for the passenger side a little so that's next... but they have been through hell with over 107k miles!
Sandblasted my valvecover for black wrinkle but backed out at the last minute and am going to do red instead
another day
Then I snapped a bolt in it for my coilpacks putting it back on
Then my car wouldn't even idle from a frayed wire to the same coilpack.
Fixed all that and I'm pretty much back to where I started with an ugly vc and clicking axle on the other side!

took out my interior to figure out why the drivers side floor was soaked after the rain so far this week, found out im missing some metal under my feet, plug fell out and metal around it was more rust than metal. After a lot of work tonight a have a new metal floor, and adding dynamat tomorrow to entire floor. and wrapping headliner in black micro suede, as well as all the tan plastic pieces.
Good work. Want to replace my rear quarter panels for me?? (uhm)

haha no i had those done over the winter when i had the car sprayed, and it was more than enough work for the body shop. But now they are guaranteed as long as i own the car against rust.

please tell me theres an easier way to change the fog light bulbs besides having to take the entire bumper off... and mechanic fixed the belt today, and it still squeeled on the start up after work. and my radiator steamed a lil after i got backt o my house. so he'll be getting another call tomorrow. i was told possibly a tensioner?
get underneath the car and take fog lights out. there are spots they attatch too...very east to take off. but beware of the screws on the back of the fog light housing...they round off and break easily.

I hate you. That is all.
that they do, i have to replace one fog light because of that, and the other for it falling and cracking... i got under the car and used an adjustable wrench to take the giant nut off and it slid out of the housing.
i need to get H1 bulbs for the hids, but im waiting until I get the fogs... next thing i do is to take off the bumper to take out the two bolts holding in my lights (stupid effing design mazda...)
