Happy birthday!

Thinking probably a copper or goldish color, but it'll be a while before I get that done I think.

A little bit of outside time now that it's almost all grey

Yeah! I've actually had it fitted for a long while now. Donor parts came from a Versa/Tiida and were fabricated into the steering column

The power steering is electric assist, so no need for a pump!

Fashioned a mount for the belt tensioner, seems like it should all line up nicely. Nearly 180° of belt wrap on the alternator should help considerably! Just need to get a belt for it tomorrow

Thanks man, here's hoping I don't have to take too much of a hiatus from this project

Taking apart the last 12 years of your life is.. tough. Yo truck from a local car meet to combat the morose-posting. Gotta keep the head up.

Small project this evening, added a reinforcement/perch behind the timing cover that this idler pulley can mount to. Lowers the belt, increases belt wrap on the alternator, and also does a surprisingly good job at fastening the timing cover. I'll figure out an auto tensioner eventually..

It's unfair how easy it is to break a habit like that

Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
This is one of those failsafe ones. Emphasis on the fail because they always clip themselves open on the third heat cycle lol

Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Made progress, even if it wasn't quite as much as I'd hoped for. I embossed the area around the crank sensor, and it'll accommodate a grommet to help keep debris out of the timing components. Everything will be quite snug, but that's what I'm going for!

Ohh. I was gonna ask why the change haha

Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Been working at timing cover parts, this lower piece is a real odd one. All sorts of shapes! Used my spot welder to put some recessed mounts on the upper bit to both space it out and keep the bolts flush. Hopefully gonna get the lower bit squared off tomorrow.

Fan art of Mordecai and Rigby from Regular Show.
Mordecai, a large bluejay, holds his wings above his head in a mock-cheering gesture ("Oooohhhhh!!") toward Rigby, a smaller brown raccoon. Rigby is jabbing his finger toward Mordecai's face and is angrily yelling at him ("Stop talking!").

Yeah, might do a matte medium grey, maybe a wrinkle, not totally decided yet. Might also put windows in to show off the decorations on the cam gears haha

I debated 3D printing for it but given the size and temperatures, I think I will just make it out of steel

Wait I can do this QUOTE WITH SNOOT

Got the cam gears modified to accommodate my beauty ring things (one acts as a pickup wheel for a camshaft sensor), then started drawing out a new timing cover to replace the stock one I don't like

Haha, I bet it's sharp enough to work as one!

Got a bit of dog time today, trying to keep my mind off things a bit. Needed a water pump pulley that was not just 6-rib, but also an adjusted size to match with the slightly smaller crankshaft pulley. Just need to work out an auto-tensioner. Also ft. My favorite red bull that we don't get here

Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Yeah, it wasn't low on fluid. They suspect the pump failed but stopped after dropping the pan and finding the debris since it's a death sentence for the transmission anyway

Ope. Some sprinkles on top
A transmission oil pan, littered with various small bits of metal and other materials from a failed transmission

Blitzen Folf @blueblitzpup.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
It came with a 3rd party extended warranty, so I'm hoping that isn't a problem to use if it comes to it.

I'm crossing everything at this point, time will tell

TMW the transmission sounds like it's full of marbles Here's hoping it's somehow not bad news. Now I wait for the diagnosis. Maybe next month will be better? August has not been great.

Still working out of what I suppose I'll call a funk.. Made up a meager bracket for a new alternator setup, still gotta sort out a tensioner and stuff yet.

This week hasn't really been much better, trying not to talk about it much on account of I try so hard to keep a positive outlook but some days are hard. In other news, I saw a very strange looking couple of delivery vans yesterday

It has not been a very good week and I'm struggling a bit. Cleaned the car and went a bit out of town to get some photos. This is one of my favourite weekends of the year and I'm in such a funk I can't really enjoy it. Not every day is a good one, just gotta stick around for when they come, right?
