Merry Christmas /o/, did you buy your shitbox any presents this year?

I think my relatives got me a new shiftknob for my miata

>>16369883
I might sell my shitbox to some high school kid for Christmas

>>16369883
Yea, but I haven't installed it yet

I've been lazy

Just looking at rebuild kits for the alternator.
Hopefully I'll get around to replacing the clutch, had that kit for a while now.

Might get some work done on the mx5 also this holiday.

I just fixed my radio so I can blast eurobeat down the toegay. First time working on a car and I love how 80s toyota interiors are all 8mm and phillips. Next I'm probably going to get it a cone filter to clean up the engine bay a little. Feels good working on your shitbox on Christmas.

I'm buying headers, an hei distributor and an alternator for 100$ today. Those will just be a few more things off the list for the v8 swap. So far I've bought a carb, motor stands, disk brake I beams and a heater so far. All I've installed is the heater though

I bought him a Black Ice tree. Shit was all over here and I'm trying to be more into cars so I thought a fucking meme would be a good start.

Oh and I bought a battery because the old one ended up like this

>>16369883
i changed its oil earlier this week and somehow managed to screw that up and made a huge mess of my driveway as oil poured out of the filter.

Bought the Jeep some blue trees, rubber floor mats, and a pinion yoke. Got the cavalier a valve cover gasket.

>>16369883
Nope. It's getting cleaned out between xmas and new years, though. Maybe even washed.

>>16369950
Is that soft brake lines, or 50ft brake lines? If the latter, that's way too much.

>>16369986
Soft, between the chassis and the front hub.

My handwriting is atrocious

>>16370002
I know what soft lines are, and they're called brake hose fwiw. Just read it as 50ft the first time, then soft the second so just wanted to clarify.

>>16370010
Yeah lol 50ft of brake line would be ridiculous.

I fucking hate making brake lines

>>16369883
I got myself a dashcam and my sister said she'd be getting a full exhaust system and a CAI for me as well

>>16370013
I must be the only person on the planet that enjoys it. Whenever brake line jobs come into the shop everyone will bitch and complain if they're assigned to do them, but if I'm not busy with something else I'll jump at the chance. Fucking hate bleeding though.

>>16370017
>I got myself a dashcam
Which one? Been looking at getting one myself.

>>16370022
Honestly I might just pay a shop to install the disks. I don't have the time of day to do it

>>16370039
If you're spending your time to make the money that builds the car, there's no shame in getting help with the work.

Ok, I'll just have more fun with my shitbox than you could have with your ps4.

Got a bunch of shit for my shitbikes, and a new front turn signal assembly for my car because I busted the old one.

Got some slotted rotors for my cuhrolla

My wife bought me new hatch lifts/struts or whatever you call the things that hold the hatch up for my 87 rx7. And my parents probably got me tools. My present for my cars will be acctually having some time to finish installing the new brakes for my rx7 (rusted so bad i couldnt collapse the piston to get new pads on, i already had to replace the front ones in August since one piston kept sticking, was stored in someones back yard for 5 yeats before i got it) and then figuring out whats causing the super soft brake pedal on my 79 corona wagon. My bet is the master cylinder assembly has worn out seals since i haven't noticed any fluid loss.

Used one of those $10 headlight kits.
Actually worked really well. They were super orange/fogged before using the kit.
They look pretty much new now. Only thing you can see is if you put your face like 5 inches from the lights you can see some swirls from sanding it.
I'm really surprised at how well they turned out.

its been piling up since her birthday.
RC-T4's, bc coils, 4/2pot. new steering rack will be added to that too. Want to get all the parts and then blow the whole load in one go.

I've bought enough shit for it. Apparently I need to replace a CV axle (in addition to all the other bullshit it's doing) but I've spent more money and time on it in the last two months than I should have. So I bought a NC. Nicest thing I've ever had and I'm 31.

Feels good man.

Nothing yet but I put in a brand new Yonaka exhaust this month. Now it's very quiet for a shitbox Honda which is out of the norm. I love it.

Next up is a set of the cheapest Chinese tires I can get my hands on and a set of Ground Controls to put on my Koni Yellows.

Went alright after that though apart from going on the kerb when I was parking at the end.

How did I pass my driving test yet fuck up so much in this car.

I learnt in a diesel, are they much different clutch wise to petrol? The Polo needs more revs to get going, my instructors Citroen ds3 didn't need any and was really forgiving.

>>16375475
Probably. Passing my drivers test at 17 didn't make me a good driver. I was still pretty bad. But that was 3 years ago. Just takes experience.

My reverse has a little thing around the column attatched to the boot and you pull it up like a foreskin when shifting into reverse. I like that a lot actually, pushing the whole thing down sounds like a hassle.

>>16375425
no, solid
it weighs one pound, which is pretty heavy for a shifter that size
