What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

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

this is a easy fix, lay a tarp on the living room floor, then drag that tranny inside and work on it.
 


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

oh, thats easy too, take it inside also. they come out pretty easy you know. going back in you may need a extra pair of hands to hold the ring back down for ya.


i thought it was the tranny rebuild it was to hot for.

Erm.... that's about it for this week.

Walbro still isn't installed, it's been on my shelf for a month now. Really lacking in motivation to take apart the canister... someone motivate me?

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

It occurred to me the other day it had been forever since I did a good GTP burnout. Just imagined it, grinned and drove on instead.

Work and fam been eatin lots of time / energy lately but I've been fussing over lamps and such still, on the GT. Got the toe set pretty close and it drives decent now. Need to do some strut slotting then align. I enjoy driving that one and we have some history plus the A/C is ice cold so it makes me feel good to be back in it.

GTP is hard at it and could use some tires and other love but it tells me I'm getting 22 MPG like clockwork even with my foot.

Speaking of foot, my friend Mike had an empty gas tank fall and chopped open his ankle on the front, with the sharp edge. It cut to the bone and yes that means flappy flipper foot. Crap, this is the guy I was on the big project with. Long surgery, a dozen spliced tendons, and in 12 weeks he can TRY putting weight on it. Damn, he's out and guess who is even more whooped now. Still needin a vacation!
 


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

Haven't been doing anything to the GP other than driving it. I did order new lugnuts to replace the POS rusted ones. I plan on going over a few things on it and possibly throwing another coat of black wax on it for a car show this weekend. The car show is nothing special, just a fund raiser for the local VFD. We'll see.

New control arms on the monte, I'd say the old ones were sad. Had a tard moment, couldn't figure out why the swaybar was hitting the tie rod making it impossible to put new links in. So i put the old ones back in to realize i forgot to disconnect the other side....oops. Also some doucher before me put red loctite on the caliper bracket bolts, I about rounded the damn things off trying to get them off. They took 6ft of pipe on a breaker bar the whole way out on all 4 bolts that sucked.

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

You are supposed to have loctite on the caliper bracket bolts. It comes like that from the factory even. It prevents the bolts from backing out and falling off like has happened to me and numerous others on this very forum.

If you almost rounded them then you need good 6 point sockets. ;)
