Exciting things incoming...
updated log to reflect upcoming changes to both our builds!
(Today)
I have several things coming in the next few days. Sard seat covers come in tomorrow. I decided to remove the seats entirely ( not really necessary AFAIK ) and ran into the dreaded reverse torx bolts. Wow, these are AWFUL. I stripped 3 of the 8 of them with very little pull. Decided to try and follow what someone else said to drill a small hole, use a punch and a hammer to start knocking it out. Didn't work out too hot for me. Ended up trying to drill out the entire bolt. I finally got the head of the bolt separated from the bolt itself to pull the seat out. The other two, I ordered a bolt extractor (5/16 ~~ 8mm) to remove the other 2. Replacing with M10x1.5 SS bolts all around. No reverse torx joke this time.
OFH should come in next week. Plan to show some before and after videos, as well as a full install in this build. First jLoBRZ mod incoming this weekend as next weekend is her birthday. Yes, this is me admitting her present is something for her car. Not sure if she'll read this or not - but I plan on revealing it this weekend. I also added leather wrapping the dash pieces to my future list.. got some synthetic leather vinyl coming in next weekend and going to see what I can do.
