Was a fairly productive weekend for me.
Saturday I helped clean up my grandparents home now that they have gone into care (all a bit heartbreaking but that's how life goes I guess) and sunday (yesterday) I gave the 911 an oil change, fitted some nolathane gearbox mounts and measured up wheel offset for some new rims I want to order. Also changed spark plugs. Lucky I did, it had 5 platinums and 1 ancient crusted over normal plug. Whoever did the servicing on it before I bought it was clearly lazy and a rip off.
Also finished fitting an LS1 coil and igniter combo to my daily driver mazda. Stupid thing has the igniter, coil and CAS inside the distributor. The coil and igniter fails due to engine heat and oil leaks. Mazda Aus want nearly a grand for an new distributor, second hand and aftermarket locally they are $500, and China $150 jobbies only last a month from what I have been told. So I fitted up this LS1 coil, modified the distributor cap to take a coil lead and wired it all up. Works like a boss and cost $15 for the new cap (from the US of course, where everything is so much cheaper than here).
