Changed the oil, used a WIX 51342. First bought a Mobile One M1205A. It would not accommodate the filter tube on our U20

I'm really liking this car but I think the shocks are shot, so...
Today's project:
Bilsteins from JT
Mike Young front springs
New Dunlop Direzza ZIII tires

Attended to a VERY small detail. Strangely satisfying though.

One of the best looking door pull cups I have ever seen!

Took me seven years to get around to installing that little rubber stop!

Where does one get that rubber stop

It would appear that they are currently â€œsold out,â€ but this is where I got them.

Started the process of replacing the carpet in the roadster. Going back to black.

Brought it back from the intensive care facility. No wait, DROVE it home from the shop. The bride noted that in 30 years of marriage, this is the first time she has seen it running.
Now the other work begins.

Got the new carpet back in. Will bolt down the seats tonight.

Went to the Nissan dealer the other day to pick up some more parts I ordered. Got some more hood bumper sets and rear reflectors among other things. So nice to have a decades long relationship with some of the parts people, over 40 years in one case. Nissan sent a couple extra and they weren't in the new system so they gave them to me.

Today I rotated my tires. I'll re-torque after a drive tomorrow!

Actually not today, yesterday. Took my wife for a ride for the first time after getting it back after a year at MAS Imports in Fleetwood, PA. Mike Sacks corrected all my errors and completed the upgrades I unsuccessfully tried to do. The only thing to do now is to change jets on the Mikunis to get better response at low rpm. The car is amazing at high rpm. Still ugly, but mostly it is a blur when in motion. Gotta get me one of those stickers for the mirror that says objects in the mirror are losing. No longer frustrated. Have to think of a new name.
