Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

That actually looks pretty swell. Good job dude

Finally changed my spark plugs and what a difference. Runs much smoother

Bought a thermostate and plugs for febuarys meet

I should probably do plugs, and the LIM.....sucks I can't I has no times

Do it on the 15th. You'll have time then.

Filled her up and put in STP additive (Mileage)

Just ordered my headers!

Installed hid fogs

Headers have been shipped and will be here no later than next Thursday

Put hid headlights in the wife's Bonneville

Think my new thermostat is dying or something. Car will hit a dash below 1/4 on the temp then drop to middle of the 1/4, go back up and drop. Never really goes past 1/4. Also fulled up for 3.05 and added techron to the tank

Quarter is 200°F, no need to go past that. If it bounces once or twice when warming up that's pretty much normal.

Really? The gauge is so confusing to read or i'm stupid. The tstat in my moms buick is dead, she works for sears and is gonna see how much they charge to replace it and coolant flush only because she doesnt know how, i live in another state and my uncle is always working.

Well the 3800's t-stat is probably the easiest to change in the history of the internal combustion engine. Right up there with the Chrysler inline 6.

I told her if its over 40$ she shouldn't do it. then I explained about mixing coolant and how literally it can be changed in like 5min and 9$.

Changed? Takes like 20 minutes. Not flushed. If you just want to make sure it has the right freeze protection, draining the radiator and filling with new will do. Flushing takes more effort

Hit the gym for the first time in a while today, I'm determined to lose 40 pounds. On the way home I ran a buddy in his 04 Golf R32, I pulled about half a car from 50 to the limiter at 106. Not bad I'd say. Then I filled up for $2.95 a gallon for 93
