Pulled apart the coil pack to try and figure out my misfire issues. Guess the plugs weren't the only things that need to be replaced.

New TTR motor mount, serpentine belt, coil pack, NKG laser iridiums and a can full of MCCC to get rid of the carbon in the combustion chamber. She sounds gorgeous and not skippy again.

Got a steal for a new snail to replace the dead one in the sonic. Only 3k miles on the clock and only paid $315 for it. Hopefully this one get me through until I have money together for the upgrade.

New front brakes....Again....
Word of advise. Always get some good Centric rotors or something with some quality behind it. On my third set of junk ass Advance Auto rotors.....
On the plus side they do have a two year warranty and pretty much just hand you a new pair with no questions asked. Hopefully the'll go at least 6k before starting to warp again.
Time to start accumulating parts for the Encore swap.

This is more of a what is going to happen today, but the new turbo is getting put in, exhaust manifold housing is getting ceramic coated black along with the downpipe and at the same time other maintenance items include PCV line/valve, oil change, belt replacement and 6.9 quarts of brand new coolant. This is going to be interesting to say the least. I'll try and get videos and photos of the work done.

The old turbo had a crack in the manifold right by where the wastegate flap was. That explains my random boost leak I was experiencing. New one looks amazing after having the manifold coated. Just need to add coolant, change the oil and to get it running on today.

Took 4 hours installing a Superior brand Leather Steering Wheel skin/cover on my LT.
This was Superior Superskin Steering Wheel cover size C .. The Size C was great for the steering wheel thickness the total circumference left me with bunched up extra cover toward the end. I folded it and sewed it around the bottom spoke.
Feels great and was worth it but if I had to do it again I'd pay the extra money for the Wheel Skins brand with a smaller circumference/diameter.

Finally figured out that either I have a massive leak somewhere in the intake/pcv system causing me to dump oil or my piston rings are finally shot. These past 2 weeks have just been ridiculous between the turbo dying and the car consuming oil like crazy. Early 2012 model woes.
