Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Got a stack of parts for it



In the pic are 4 quick struts, obviously, tie rod ends, and front LCAs. Not pictured is the replacement rack that came yesterday.

Hope to get everything done over the long weekend.

Welcome to the 4x4 side.

Im joining the club soon, gonna order my LIM gaskets, UIM gasket, and rear quick struts friday then install them on a warm day.

You'll never go back after 4x4 lol. Unless you're more into looks than a little bonus functionality.

I got tons of work to do on cars when it warms up, it's not even funny. That's what happens when every car in the household and neighbors is 12 years old, or older

I look at it like this. I am undecided on how long I intend to keep the car so with a whole new suspension I know it will be good for many years to come if I keep it, or if I decide to sell it the new parts will be helpful in that regard.

I'm getting close to finalizing my "back to stock sale"

then the car goes up for sale after a fast wash for pics.

The next weekend that Lee works days, I'm taking over the garage and taking wheels off the SS and giving them a good cleaning all over and polish. I really wish I could have found some cheap LTZ wheels to run during the winter. This was only the 2nd winter the car had seen since brand new. I'd like to preserve the ss wheels as much as possible.

Buyer beware, its luck of the draw on them struts you got. Noisy front mount right outta the box for me on one.

Started the trans cooler install:



I considered doing a write-up, but I'm way to impatient for that. Probably a parts list and some pictures when I'm done though.

This explains why I haven't been getting notifications for this thread.... I just found this one. Well that shows how active I am on here anymore..

Took it for a drive into town, got me some yard tools, leaving Home Depot got into the pedal some, scared my wife when the rear got sideways after 1st to 2nd shift...with an AUTO lol.

Drove it..

Then diagnosed Kyle's other bad engine mount.

Speaking of bad mounts, my upper has gone to ****. Noticed it this morning pulling the charger off.

Driving to work today going about 65km/hr the RPM needle plummeted to the pin and didn't move again for 5 minutes. The TCS light became illuminated as well.

Car continued to shift as normal and no other adverse effects. happened? At the next light I turned it off and back on and everything was fine for the rest of the drive.

Thoughts on this before I post an actual thread on this stupid subject? Car is a 2000 GTP

typical crank sensor taking a crap on ya.

I haven't driven the car in a few days, but my wife drove it to get breakfast today. She walked in and I could hear her say "Man, I f*cking love that car" lol. Kinda made my day.

Serious... So will DD'ing it **** anything up? If so I guess I know what I'm doing this long weekend.

you can drive it, but expect it to just randomly stall at some point.
