Oil change. Finally got to use my ramps - I'm in love. Easiest ramps I've ever driven up on. There's enough room for an oompa loompa to mistake it for a lift. I also had enough room to notice that the Jet-Hot coating on my OBX has completely flaked off on the back side of the collector (notcool) . The fact that it's being replaced with a tater and a GHL dp in a few months made it not hurt so bad. Speaking of turbo project - I jumped in with both feet and picked up a Microtech LT-10 today for good measure ...

If I could get the last stud threaded into my turbo manifold I could attach the turbo and actually get something installed on my car today.. but it's like the threading in the manifold is stripped

do you have a garage heater or just an attached and insulated garage? My garage is a bit spartan but it's a rental house so I don't feel like insulating it and getting a permanent heating solution

I'm looking at a couple heaters on Home Depot's site (I'd link to them but their site is just awful and you can't link to thinks or open products in new tabs, it gets all messed up)
A Charmglow 25K BTU infrared propane heater - $250
and a Charmglow vent-free propane stove that looks like a cast iron wood stove, fake logs and all
.. 30K BTU $209but yeah, so far I've just been working out in the cold because I have hardcore love for my mazda like that
I need to pick up some animal safe coolant and get my oil pan emptied too.. but last time I had my pan drained they managed to completely cover the outside of it with used oil and I have to cover the pan with a t-shirt I had in the trunk so that it didn't ruin my car
