The Economy Strikes!
It seems the sub-prime mess has sent a shock wave through the entire economy. A few people I know said their companies are going through lay-offs. This past week the company I work for went through a reduction in workforce as well. This rattled some cages, and has left me with a lingering feeling that things will continue to get worse before they get better.
What does all of this have to do with my car? Well, I am cutting back on some unneeded spending which includes the purchase of car parts. Progress will still be made and I will continue to post updates as well as other information. Things like buying wheel bearings, a wastegate and blow-off valve (all of which I planned to purchase in March) will be pushed back.
Later this week I received my wire and shrink wrap from Jameco, so today I put it to good use extending some of the wires on my B14 ECU harness. It took me about an hour to extend the wires that I needed to. Tomorrow I will cut the wires down so they are all the same length. I also purchased some larger shrink wrap to clean up the batter relocation kit I built about a year ago.
Last weekend I removed the air conditioning compressor and hoses in the Sentra. Doing so revealed that the system was bone dry, which would explain the lack of cold air! The condenser is still in the car, since I will probably have to remove the radiator to get to that.
