Pennzoil has come a long way. Their Platinum and Ultra synthetic are great and doesn't thin out at the track like mobile 1.

That was my reaction too until I read about it. I remember using castrol syntec 5w 50 in my 89 944 turbo because it had proper additives for flat tappet engines. Good stuff.

Thanks! I started at 9:30 and finished at 7. I took three breaks. One of them was 2.5 hours long (when I had to go to class). The total working time was about 5 to 6 hours. Jobs like this will become very tedious if you get frustrated. When you get frustrated then you need to take a break and think about something else for awhile. Also if you do not have the proper tools you tend to get frustrated no matter what.

The glass window makes it all worth it though

As for your cat you might try to cut the pill in half or even 1/4's , you have one very high cat and I bet he dreams some wild dreams.

I skipped one of the pills and he had another seizure! So its back to 1 every 12 hours for now. He seems depressed but I'm just going to have to wait until he gets the phenobarbital blood levels checked in a couple weeks. At least he is still alive.

Project update Not much will be happening with the s2000 in the coming months. I'm just going to be enjoying it. I am planning to do some videos about dieting and exercise for automotive enthusiasts. Strength training is important for working on cars and weight loss is important for improving acceleration (F=MA). My videos will cover both topics but they will contain automotive elements. This is part of my video blogging "mind/body/car" thing. I don't want to spam this thread with non related media so I won't be posting it here.

If no expenses pop up in the meantime, then I will upgrade my brakes soon and weld my upper control arm mounts .

Thanks!

I just ordered hawk hp plus pads, brake lines, and fluid for the car. I will probably receive them and install them by next weekend.

My steering wheel emblem was messed up, so I bought one of the S decals. Pic:

I have been daily driving the S because it gets great gas mileage. Here is a pic of the car:

I also secured my next project vehicle. I am intending to keep the S2000 so I had to think CHEAP. I am thinking to do some sort of bobber project with it. Pic:

No S2000 related videos this week. I should have something soon though! Thanks for the positive comments so far.
