• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Yeah I keep it under 75 mph lol. I've been tempted to go faster in some situations but I really didn't want to push it. Can't wait for the new ones. Still don't know exactly what to get. It has to be all seasons and under $120 each. Preferably at discount tire, we deal with them on all of our cars and we like their service/warranty.
 
Jacked it up in the front yard. With my new power I f'd the passenger axle and i have to replace the wheel hub on that side anyway :(
 
Also got some new toilet plunger heads.

I really don't want people looking at this and really believing that's what they are, they're cv boots lol
 


Started my work on a front engine mount.

The front piece of **** mount pictured here

And what I'm piecing together now it'll be filled with poly when I get time to cut my block of poly down

Back when Batman was on TV Robin would say "Holy (whatever the subject was) Batman. Whatever the situation called for. If the joker had 10,000 buckets of boiling water he'd say "Holy buckets Batman"

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.

Threw on my 40th trunk lid. Id post pics if my computer would let me... There is a weird oil on it though that wont wash off. tried car was, ajax, simple green, and rubbing compound with the orbital. Acitone or mineral spirits is coming next...
 
Also replaced power steering return and pressure lines. now my pump is whining and drawing too many rpm's at idle... i think its bound up

jack the front wheels off the ground, car off turn the steering wheel lock to lock 10 times or so, then fire it up, do it again, this should purge the air out of the lines.

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


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.

Wow those look great! I need to do that to mine.

Thanks!


Today I vacuumed the interior carpet/dash, washed the windows inside, used armor-all, and rain-x. Also cleaned the floor mats since they were getting dirty, mostly from the previous owner. I just put all 4 on the driveway, hosed them down and put some soap on them, grabbed a brush and cleaned them and rinsed with the hose. They look a lot better, there's still one area on the drivers mat that's showing some discoloring from before, but they're clean to me. I guess I'll go get some pics since that really describes it better

They're still a little damp somehow, they've been sitting in the sun from 1:00 til now.

This picture doesn't really make the mats look clean for some reason, probably not enough light.

Here's one with the flash. Just one area is still a bit dirty.
