What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Found a few minutes to get my "delay on" relay installed for the fog lights.....
Works great; set with a 4 second delay. Now the fog light switch can stay on if I choose.

Just found out that when I use the remote start, it cycles the park lights on and off a few times as it self-tests., and one of those cycles is about 4.1-4.2 seconds. Of course it is! LOL

Just have to adjust the relay to 5 seconds and she will be good to go.
 


Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Got the fog-light relay set to a 6 second delay.

Also picked up a new phone cradle (got rid of my iPhone 3gs and got a 5s). Installed it last night. Not sure if I like it compared to my old one, but will give it some time before I get a different one.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

At work, we use several various Waytek items because the quality is good.

Can anybody tell me what tool I need for unscrewing inner tie rod from rack, 99 GP? So I can bring the right thing home for this weekend without getting soaked pulling the boot in the backyard now to look.

The 'TP and me had adventures today, blue lights in the morning (woops) and bird of prey in the evening. Hosed her off and put her away wet. Lotsa rain lately, yep.

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

all i know it as is a gm inner tire rod tool. i test fit the new one before i take the rental tool with me.
 


Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Thx SD, I peeked at an illustration, looks like the thing has flats and sticks out where a box end wrench could go on it once boot is off. I was thinking maybe big channel locks if it ain't too tight. Pulling an unbent one off the 02 rack (40th I had) which was a 2nd pump still whiner and putting it on the 99GT which has nice quiet steering even though one inner rod is bent. So no store involved.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

the tool makes it easy, it slides over the rod, then locks on the end, then use a 1/2 drive ratchet on the end of the tool to break it free.

Had a first today, on these hilly roads i had someone pull off the road to let me pass because of my lights. Also hit a big ass racoon that was fun
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

The cutoff on these lights can be annoying to people ahead of you. Instead of reflectors having a scattered beam, projectors have a really sharp cut off, so when the light catches peoples mirrors, its like a flash from no light to instant brightness
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Not a damn thing so far. Yesterday though I went and helped my cousin roll the fenders on his Civic. It was already lowered and he put different wheels on it that were a little wider and had more (less?) offset that made them stick outward a little more so he was having a few rubbing issues.

The only issue we ran into was when he did the first fender before I got there the roller twisted his fender up a little so we had to straighten it out. Then on the second one the adjusting rod bound up on us and we had to fight it to get it back out, took it apart, then got it freed up again and finished the job.

Took it for a ride and only got it to rub once after that. And that was taking a sharp turn fast and hard. Before that it was rubbing on a lot of turns and even some bumps.

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

"wot dances around 14.7"

Say what? You trying to melt another piston?

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Figured I'll reward the GP and order a few things from TRS to eventually tackle hopefully it's last retro...

And had a appointment for Friday to replace the cracked windshield

But then she decided to say FU and start having problems again ;(

That's why I can't do nice things

Maybe but check out the PE tables. I think stock it's supposed to be commanding like 12.8 or something. But, yeah, no knock I guess your fine. Just strange you're not seeing PE kick in.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Still strange. Is your WB showing anything lower than 14.7? When you cold start it should show rich. Mine instantly jumps to whatever pe is commanding as soon as I hit 30% throttle, which is what I set it at.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

its been installed and driven with for all of ten minutes now. ive yet to really play with it. i did see it hit 11 and 12 a few times. and it went higher too.

my pe is all stock, it enters pe at 40% up to the mid rpm's then drops to 35%

ill get out and watch it more, will have a good cold start too. car was still hot when i installed it and fired it up.
