Been a while since I've posted. Lots going on. Picked up a new car, had a small problem. In this video I'll show how to replace the motor in a 2nd Gen Facelift LS400 for tilt steering as well as how you can adjust manually if you don't want to replace the motor.

It's my one year anniversary of starting this channel, so I figured it was time to walk through the fleet a bit and share the various cars I've got. If there is one you'd like to see more about (review, work on it, mod it), let me know in the comments!

This time we put it all back together. And spill more fluid. And drop stuff.

A few years ago I bought a Fox Body for a great price that had been sitting without some love. I brought it back to life before I started the channel, but I always hated the AOD. In this video we unbox all the parts and take everything apart in preparation to install the 5 speed.

In this video I take a fuel pump out of a Saturn Sky. Should be identical for a Pontiac Solstice.

In this episode, we fix a noticeable problem with the Sky - it really doesn't have any useful gauges other than a fuel level and tach. Here are the fittings I used to build all this: Block oil galley - 12x1.75mm to -4AN Coolant/oil sensor extension - 1/8"-27NPT Coolant sensor T - M12x1.5mm with 1/8" NPT tap Oil drain to sensor extension - Autometer 2278

Since the goal of this car is track use, I wanted to make sure cooling was where it needed to be. This is the process of removing/swapping out the radiator on the car with a 3" core radiator.

I promise this isn't another guitar bait and switch. One of the other flaws from the beautiful Copart purchase was the rocker/fender being pretty wrecked. In this episode I decided to figure out how to do fiberglass patching with no prior experience. It doesn't look good, but it is strong.

I was able to get out to the track...but not in the car I wanted. Also in this video, I walk through the process of removing, painting, and replacing the front chrome trim on the Sky.

I was helping out the GF with her car doing a simple brake job. It ended up not being so simple. I figure a few other folks out there with WK chassis cars might find this useful if you live in the rust belt.

I had a broken breather valve intake from the factory, so when I fixed it I decided to throw a catch can on too. It is just a cheap-o eBay catch can that was ~$20, but is pretty nice other than the hose that comes with it.

I noticed some oil leaking and couldn't tell if it was residual from the oil change or from an actual leak. While I was at it, I cut off the muffler. Race car.

Anyone that has an e39 loves the car, but there is a fatal flaw in the cupholders...they are god awful. With a few bucks and about 10 minutes of your time, you can upgrade them quickly without a giant eye sore in an otherwise beautiful car. Here are the cupholders I used in this video: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009IKAARQ

In this episode, we install a removable steering wheel and fab up a little mount for the wheel when it is sitting in the paddock. I'm going to start listing parts I used here for anyone that is interested: Hub Adapter for GM products: getnrg.com/products/srk-177h NRG Quick Release: getnrg.com/products/srk-200 MOMO Mod 88 Wheel: momo.com/en-us/momo-racing-steering-wheels/momo-mod-88.html?pn=R198...
