Installed my Powerflex front lower control arm bushings a few days ago and fixed my steering/braking issue! All I have to do is wash the car again, check fluids and tire pressures, reinstall my trunk carpets, clean interior, pack tools, and clothes for the weekend. Leaving early in the AM to hopefully make the auto x tomorrow morning.

Should be good. Gonna order some parts from work and take them with just in case, then return them if I don't use them.

Going to roll with the cam that's in there. Keep my eye out for a cheap B35 for the car.

All I have to do tomorrow is clean and fix the temp indicator that hasn't worked since last year.

Installed a SPAL fan
Installed new fogs
Installed a new AC temp adjuster gizmo

1. Got an estimate for new paint...which will not be happening for another year or two. (clear is peeling from sub-par repaint. looks like shit and there's no cheap way to fix it)
2. Take wife to dinner
3. During dinner, convince wife why we should go to NC for the Vintage on her birthday in the future, when this car and/or the 2002 are done.
4. Watch Monaco GP instead.
5. Enjoy new springs, struts, tune-up, etc.
6. Have a sad cuz I can't go to the Vintage.
