Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Slipped a guy some change to pass my illegal AF car. I have an exhaust leak, non functioning parking brake, and a big eyebrow tint piece. My sh1t is "legal" for another year though, whoo hoo.

you have to have inspections every year?

more stuff broke...more stuff fixed:
-water pump leaking
-r/r sway bar link
-r/f tie rod end
- block heater
at least parts are cheap and the car is easy to work on.

Tracked down my coolant leak.

I'm waiting for diesel Dave to FaceTime me. I'm hoping to win the built diesel

Happy new year guys. I'm spending it bidding on snap-on tools on ebay lol. Got a 15 pc 1/2" impact deep socket set in good condition (with tray) for $170 shipped. I was tied in a bid and won since I bid it first, awesome. That's a good price for that set in good condition, they go for like $500 new. I'm trying to get a swivel impact set now. And I just learned how ebay bidding works

Sorry, but first post of 2014! lol. Hope it's a good one. Our GP's are another year older now.

Don't remind us :P

First year the newer body style is a decade old.

And I remember when they first came out, I told my dad he bought the wrong car haha.

Yes, Texas has an annual State Safety Inspection, some parts of the state have the "sniffer"(emissions test). It's great to know I now have a connection near me that will "Pass" my illegal car or any others that I may need done.

And that is why none of my cars are registered in NC. Cause of inspections!! TN has no inspections

Texas has a lot, can't have everything.

While I'm in my hangover I tightened up my lugs, they were already really tight, but I guess not tight enough, killed most of the vibrating. I'm sure if I tighten them up more it might stop completely but I'm scared I might break something. They are already tight as ****.

Either you're tightening them with a 1/4" ratchet or something's wrong.

Something must be wrong then because I add 4ft a pole at the end of my ratchet for more leverage so I'm sure they are getting tight & I'm also sure the lugs are maxed out..

Do you think it could be because of the rims? I've honestly only driven the car with all 4 stocks on for like a day so I don't remember how it's drives with stocks

Are you properly tightening them in a star pattern? Another issue could be one is out of balance.
