What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0



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

Ain't necessarily mutual! I said too much already, can't talk about that one yet.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

No, stock alarm. I just have the stock fog lamp switch wired to key on power, so if in the on position, will turn the fogs on key-on. I'm sure they will flash when starting it, so I'd like a 2 second delay or so. Ideally I'd like them to turn on when the shifter is in drive though, like later GM's.

Are you using the stock switch like I am? Also what timer would you recommend? I see you've been through a few ideas.
Gotcha. You definately should get a delay relay. I have an aftermarket wiring harness on the fogs, so I used a Waytek #75535. A little pricy, but had the amperage rating and was plug-n-play. Using the shifter to turn them on would be different. Here is my relay install for more pics.

Thrust angle looks fine so I wouldn't worry too much about the rear

You also have to understand alignments aren't 100% accurate. They're just a reference.

So if the steering isnt hard or you get no real shakes or causes for concern, I would just have the front toe and steering wheel corrected or get it close to even on both sides to insure the steering wheel is centered and tire wear will not be a concern.

Thank you both... this is forums at work, giving feedback when needed. Blue and Scotty, thanks also. I'm gonna drive it for a spell to evaluate further. My buddy has an actual toe-checking tool so I may be able to fine tune whats there. Or not. After a week or few, maybe I'll hit the other place I had in mind and see what they say... IF I percieve an issue as time and miles go by.

Said to somebody today- "I've got the top surfaces buffed and waxed, fresh tires, runs good.... and now I'm terrified of another hit.

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

At least they actually are fairly well suited to snow... they look it don't they? The directional designs seem logical to me for rain. When I ask myself "What more could I ask for than plain ol tires?" I answer myself "Better wet traction." and research led me to these. Just so happens I like em too, bonus! I do wish everything had smooth sidewalls, I'll never understand the ribbed look. FWIW, I chunked er into a favorite little empty curve once tonite and all grip no slip so happy curvy driving too.

Drove it to work...Ac hasn't been working to good but fixed that at work now all is good.

And can't stand not having tint and butchered the back window trying to remove the 2 layers that were on there so now I think I'll grab a steamer and attempt to finish it when I get some free time.

Prove ace it does exist

Oh and need to drop the right exhaust tip a bit it's starting to burn up the plastic on the bumper. Eventually I'll swap to bigger tips and finish the exhaust off.

Holy crap! I like it, lol. Glad to hear it runs, that's always a plus to have a running car. Hell my car ran for 3 weeks then was down for 6 months when I bought it, lol.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Took all of the interior out, had a friend build the exhaust. Fixed the boost issue. Stuck the MPS and a 3.4 on the car.

Changed my oil and noticed this. And on a side note I don't remember putting a Fram filter on when I changed my oil last time.
