I have a TON to get done this weekend. Oil change, manual transmission flush, Brake fluid change, clutch fluid change, new vacuum lines, new serp belt, replacing a few missing clutch pedal parts, installing my new exhaust, and hopefully getting the wiring done so I can drive the car for the first time since I got it. Not shown, but I am also doing a coolant flush, spark plugs and wires, and brake pads
I am not sure if I will get the Koni's installed this weekend, but I am hoping to.
No kidding.

Finish sand + prep yesterdays bodywork on the Tacoma, shoot base + clear coat, install new bumper, old trim and lights, hang tailgate, remove and rehang + straighten front bumper+trim+brackets, cut+buff clear coat later today when it's hard.

On the Goddamn Miata - reinstall brakes + SS lines, swap narrower washers under butterfly brace retaining bolts for more clearance, torque all suspension fasteners, do rough alignment. Pull radiator, valve cover, crank pulley - do timing belt service - fluid changes, plugs, wires, reinstall interior.
-
Install aluminum under tray on M3
-
Roll Sprite out of garage, turn around, start on bodywork on rear valance.
I ~will~ have all the vehicles at a point of not NEEDING any work in the near future. Then I'll see what it's like to just drive 'em for a while till they're all messed up again.
I picked up a new set of wheels and tires to replace the tread-less tires my girlfriend was running around on in her 95' corolla.
Broke one wheels stud
Which led to breaking a caliper mount bolt
187k plus pennsylvania makes for lots of rust
Brakes and tires were a piece of cake.
Noticed it was over 2 quarts low on oil because the oil pressure light would come on when I was bedding in the brakes. Im pretty sure 1.8 liters only runs 4 quarts total

How did you decide on that ENEOS gear oil? A place near my house has it but I never heard of it before. I was going to try it in my 2nd gen. RX7 transmission.
I spent four hours changing and trying to reset an HVAC actuator on my wife's Trailblazer.
The TrailblazerEnvoy forum has a 34 page discussion with instructions.
Not really working right either. I gave up and cleaned the car and then spent the balance of the day doing yard work.
GM Engineers suck.
Kinda makes me finishing my ghetto paint job on the 4runner look like small potatoes.

I get my parts wholesale (the bennys of working in auto parts sales.), and my wholesaler had Eneos in stock, and I have always liked their bottle shape...
oh, as an update, I got alot less done than I had planned. Looks like the transmission has to come back out, cuz I am retarded, so the Koni's will have to wait.
I got the spark plugs, coolant, oil, and brake bleeding done, bolted up the drive shaft, installed brake pedal, flushed and changed the brake fluid, changed pads, as well as a little bit of wiring stuff done.
tomorrow I will have to remove the transmission in order to install the clutch CORRECTLY this time, re-install the trans, change the gear oil, then finish wiring the car, figure out the vacuum lines, and get it running for the first time in over 8 months!
all I have planned is changing the oil in the Impreza, change the oil and the brake fluid in the CRX.... also look for the leak at the calipers (could be the reason for my soft pedal after a track session)
