Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

danielle it needs a tramp stamp below the spoiler first

Haha. Used to have a GT there but took it off.
If I washed her up nice and had her looking pretty, she would probably draw in more business.

Really, I shouldn't talk bad about her. I really like the car. I'll buy her parts and get her fixed.

I started the Bonne to see how it ran, ran ok-ish for something that i purchased needing motor work. Feels like it needs new coils, maybe icm, and a tune-up. Exhaust is loud at the rear manifold also

Sealed my fishbowl tail lights.

And it wants new rear struts too....money hungry thing. I'm about to park it on the corner and tell it to make the repair money itself.

You know where I'm at

Danielle.. L36 VC gaskets are the lowest cost of the two. I wish..oh wait, I have those same ones now!

Diagnosed one of the two tow victims. Conferred wtih Dr. Hitman after drawing a conclusion, he concurred. Prognosis is not ideal. Story at 11.

Yes, yes I do. I just wish it wasn't so dang cold when it decided to really start leaking. Either between jobs today or tonight when I get home I'll actually check the oil and listen for ticking again.

That's good to know, I guess. I should have had them done along with the LIM, but that was back before I joined here and I didn't know any better.


Today, I am thankful for the heated seat.

Seat...singular hahahahahaha

Front FWIW is quick and easy to swap as well. Which passengerside mount is on the engine, the big cast iron black bracket or the aluminum one?

Uhh, idk?

So ended up driving into the ditch to avoid a towtruck chillin in the middle of the gravel road trying to pull out a vehicle that went in. Got home and had a few rocks in the bead which caused the tire to go flat. Had a buddy go through and clean out the inside of the tire and clean the rim put the tire back on and balance it. Tire is back on now and didn't realize it right away afterwards but now alignment is WAY off like steering wheel is an eighth to a quarter turn off. Looked at the wheel and noticed cocked to the right. Tested interstate speeds once I hit about 65 mph it shakes a bit... awesome... hoping that I didn't bend the axel or any of the mounts.. everything looks right underneath comparing left to right so my hope is just an alignment

Steering wheel straight:
Left side:

Right side:

Might have bent a tierod ^^^

I turned over 228000 miles today

Found this hanging on wall at a place while getting my new rim put on in place of the cracked one! Wish all 4 of my rims were new instead of just front two. They look awesome new

Plowed snow.

youre going to be getting a lot more free stuff again. or you should be.

could you put 18x7.55 in rims on a gxp couldn't you? i'm guessing all the tires needs to be 7.55 then?
