    4hrs today working on the car!

    So today i got early in the morning to finaly do some work on my car. First i cleaned and reoiled my filter on my aem cai. I dont think it was needed but i did it anyway. Then i changed oil in my manual transmision to redline. I know somebody was saying that you cant do it yourself. Well i did it. All you have to do is drain it, then unscrew overflow bolt, put a long hose in it and start pouring oil in to the other end of the hose. It takes exectly two liters. Then i changed my rims after winter to my 17" motegi mr7 and here i ran into the problems. Well when i first put them on the tunner lugs for those rims were not threaded all the way through which besicly stripped all my bolts. Horror, let me tell u. First i wanted to replace bolts but I was short on clearance by like 2 mm and I would have to take the whole berring apart. Its good that my dad works in the shop and we actually have an access to some nice tools. We were so lucky though that somehow we menaged to find metrix bolt threader (or however it is called) so i rethreaded all 20 bolts (it was pain in the ass). Then i found out that my lugs are stripped as well (both orginal and tunner ones) so i had to rethread those as well. Fucking 3hrs of rethreading. But everything is butiful right now. All i am waiting for is my springs which supposly will be shiped out tomorow and when i get them i will be back in the shop. LOL
