Leaking Header Gasket 04.30.2022
I was still getting a check engine light so used the leaf blower and soapy water technique and the header gasket was leaking very badly on both sides. I tried sanding the rust off but it was still leaking. Going to try thicker gaskets.

New Clip for Side Marker 05.02.2022
Got a cheap $10 side marker from eBay and stole the clip I was missing off of it. This time I put some epoxy to hold the clip in. It worked flawlessly.

Curbed Wheel 05.11.2022
My dad did it again Curbed the front wheel backing up into a perpendicular spot that has a curb on the passenger side. This time the lip got damaged and folded the front bumper too. Nice.

Curbed Wheel Fixed 05.12.2022
Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist in Gaithersburg, MD got my wheel fixed up right. Can feel a little edge of the paint where they masked the rest of the wheel off though but you have to really be looking for it.

Looks like the curbed wheel repaired nicely! Glad to see the ZE40's looking new again.

Another Curbed Wheel But Got It Fixed 05.28.2022
Welp this time my sister curbed it. She claims didn't see the curb. Tore up both the front and the rear wheels. Went back to Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists to get it fixed. Came out very nice.

Falling Wheel Weights 06.05.2022
Not sure why the wheel weight adhesives are failing only on the rear wheels...NTB Tires got some poopy weights.

Painted the Hub 06.09.2022
Hub was starting to rust or was it already rusting...but anyways from running no center caps, had to paint over the eyesore. Ideally would use gloss black paint but I already had matte around the house.

Rexspeed Wide Angle Mirrors 09.29.2022
Installed Rexspeed polarized/wide angle mirror with blue tint. It really creates a wider angle of view where the mirror adjuster is maxed out as far out and I can still see the side of the 86. I didn't know my 86 had heated mirrors and the Rexspeed ones aren't heated...so maybe one day I'll get OLM heated wide angle mirrors one day.

Whiteline LCA & Toe Arms 10.01.2022
Got Whiteline Lower Control Arms and Adjustable Toe Arms. LCA because the ISC arms' shortest length is stock LCA length which is way too long to get my desired rear camber of -2. So thankfully, these Whiteline LCA go get me there. Did toe arms too because I might as well since I'm going for an alignment and I got them for a good price. I went to Radical Tires in Silver Spring and wanted 0 toe around and 2.5 front, 2.0 rear. Tech didn't really get my desired specs....not sure because he was in a rush or he just doesn't care. He said once I sit in it, the camber will increase...I'm 135 lbs....
