What did you do to your Car today?

Finally got the air conditioner working. Installed it last week but the damn bolt that came with the new compressor holding the two A/C lines in was too short and refused to hold a seal.

Finally got under there today to replace it with a longer bolt and then charged that sucker up, now it cools like a champ.

Oh, wait, it took me until October to get around to fixing the air conditioner - by which time I don't need it anymore until next summer. Go figure.

Copy paste worked that time. But after a page refresh I can only highlight & copy the top 2 links. And not the IMG LINK. Odd.

....huh, broken link. Nvr mind.
 
Replaced one of my window motor/regulators after a few months of being lazy and using folded paper to hold my window up. Feels good to have a window that slides up n down now :) Also replaced my EGR canister so far no check engine light.
 


Went crazy cleaning my rims up really good. I figured since the torque stars show so much past the face of it, I should really clean the whole rim. Much better now, you really see it too, even on the car.

Before/after. Just cleaned with dish soap.

Dish soap worked well, but not good enough, so I bought some wheel cleaner. I've been using car soap so far on the rims whenever I'd wash my car. I only used that much after applying it multiple times to both front wheels.

Much better.

You can really see the difference. If I was able to take a picture in direct sunlight you'd really see it.

I also waxed them inside and out before putting them back on.
 


Those look good, nice job. Hopefully you cleaned the tire wall and got that white wall all cleaned up as well?

I need to give mine a good cleaning but it's such a pain since I have to do it one at a time. I really should borrow Lee's jack stands so I can at least get 2 off at once.

Thanks. I didn't clean the white wall any better than the rest of the tire, I really don't want them showing since the rear tires have the white wall facing inwards. I never realized they have whitewalls until today to be honest. They were never clean. The reason I switched them is because they looked to be the same on both sides, and the side once facing outward was dry rotted and the other wasnt. They're non-directional so I was like, ehh why not put the good side facing out. And now I have a partial white wall lol.

I did the two fronts together, just lift on the center of the subframe and you can get both tires in the air. I did the rears separately since there isn't a central jacking point in the rear.

They're a beauty, aren't they? lol I've seen some really bad dry rotted tires on someones car on these forums. So bad it's a large crack going through it. Where did the batman part come from?

I'm getting new ones before winter hits. They're only 5 years old and already dry rotted. I blame the previous owner, he must have used some crazy strong wheel cleaner all the time.
