What did you do to your Car today?

**smoke14** · 03-03-2014

Thanks, came off an 04 Comp. G Now what to do with my torque stars?

I know it's easy to replace, just wondering if it will let air into the cooling system. I don't think so cuz it's just for the overflow tank.

What condition are they in? I may be interested.

**smoke14** · 03-03-2014

Torque stars are in decent shape, a bit of corrosion, considering all the salt they have probably seen. Tires have seen better days. You should be able to find a set locally though.

I know I can find them locally I just figured I'd ask haha.

Went to the house after work to paint so I swapped the truck back for my car.

I missed the gp, but dang....I was getting to really like driving the Silverado.
Is it bad when I think a Silverado Z71 rides a lot smoother than the GP?

I also filled the truck up since I used some of the gas..... it was just above 1/2 a tank (11ish gallons)....cost me almost $40. That's a full tank in my car. I cried a little bit inside. I told Lee I would gladly keep driving it as long as he fit the gas bill, haha. I'm just glad that when time comes that I get a company truck, I won't have to pay for the gas. 13 mpg sucks.

Then I was reminded about how badly I need to finish aligning my retro's. Sigh....damn weather.

I'd agree that the silverado rides better than our cars.

With Manual Transmission: They run between 15.4 to 15.7 seconds at around 88-90 mph.

My previous ride was an SC (A/T, CAI, ran mid 15's easily), and I believe the latter would be the case.

I see that 97-03 GTP's run 14.7 to 14.9. Still a drivers race.

Out with the old

In with the new

EDIT: Also got lower control arms and an alignment, she rides nice now

Just need to do sway links

Is it weird I'm still waiting on my tail lights?

I've noticed a strange buzz or whatever at times behind dash,usually when cold on drivers side.
Really haven't been able to isolate it.

So you used a can of compressed air and tried to spray gremlins out.
What kind of air stuff, where did you spray and was that your prescription for cure??

well it worked for a little i got in the car today and it was 23 degrees and it was there again im gonna give it sometime and ill try and spray them out. i just took the air you use for cleaning computer key board like the kind kids were dying huffing. and there is a vent right below the ignition in the dash and its real small and im pretty sure there is a little fan in there and it buzzes cause its full of dust. so i sprayed it. it worked yesterday guess well see more when it warms up. i think it has something to do with the climate control

4k miles in just over a month. And yeah it's not broken anymore. It'll be broken again eventually though. I always live up to my name.

**02NavyBlue** · 03-05-2014

Yes it seems so lol. You just have to think one, or maybe two steps ahead of what you've doing. Working on cars presents you with a thousand ways to screw something up, think or a few ways to do something before going with your first idea.

Did some prep work for my undercoating. Need to buy some POR-15. Also calling around looking to see how soon I can get a Muffler shop to do a resonator delete. Found one who will do it for 30 bucks but it will be a bit.
