What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

They run negative camber from the factory, so as long as they can get it in spec you are good.

Reading my last alignment spec (hopefully correctly) the front left and right camber were initially -1.3 degrees and -1.6 degrees. The final numbers stayed the same. The -1.3 is in green and -1.6 is in red. Their final reading shows the toe 0.00.

Mock up. Found a new depo driver tail light driver side in you pull for $20 w/ hud trim. Sold my old light to a guy in the parking lot for $5.
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

fixed my leaking brake line this morning,

the offending line, that union actually opened up and didn't twist a line. amazing i tell ya. then of course the parts store didnt have a female side with a line, so i got a short 3/16 nicopp line and two compression fittings.

Got valve seals, tstat, rad, and some h9 bulbs to mod to make the LaCrosse have brighter headlights. Hopefully the rad solves my car running warmer than I'd like.

Check out dipyourcar​.com they have every color imaginable and they sell rattle cans or gallons of colors and all kinds of stuff. I love the plasti dip idea but I want something better than just black

Got the front struts installed this morning and the alignment done. Now it looks like the front has a lift kit until the springs settle.
 


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

I washed the Lancer then went to a car show. I didn't enter it, even though my uncle was trying to talk me into it. LOL

Hung out at the show until it was over. My cousin's Civic took a Top 10 90+, and his 82 Mustang took a Top 50 overall. They hand out a lot of trophies.

After we left there I went back over my cousin's and helped him put an exhaust on his girlfriend's Scion TC.

I've been making a little progress on my Stealth again. I should have an assembled trans by the end of the week. Hoping to possibly have it back on the ground and rollable by the end of the month. That all depends on how stripping the interior again to get some more painting works out.

holy **** that gas tank is going to pop soon!
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

I'm tooling about today. It's 96 Degrees out but not humid so I've got my windows down A/C off. Tranny starts shifting terribly and temps ( with a tranny cooler) sky rocket to 195. This was only about 20 minutes worth of driving. So it looks like the GXP needs to have the tranny checked out. Yay...
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

I've officially hit 3 weeks on one tank of gas, driving every weekday with stop and go traffic and running back and forth all day, since changing the o2 sensor.

I call that a win, since before that I'd get maybe one week out of a tank.

how many miles per gallon compared to old?
 


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

my 3/4ton v8 van pulling a 10' trailer only gets a few mpg less than your n/a gp hahahahaha
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

the new 2016 crew cab 3500 dually 4x4 mason dump pulling a loading 18 foot trailer gets a whole 6 mpg. all local lucky it holds upwards of 50 gallons of gas.
 


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

Gave the GTP a badly overdue wash n vac. Miss my shade tree bad, hate water spots. Actually used two buckets and car wash soap since it was so nasty. Forgot to wipe down the interior before putting it away but it's so humid outside I was as wet as the car from sweat. Good times though, love the car.
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Well, now I'm seeing an average of 20-something-ish, gauging from the fact that it's a 15 gallon tank and I get about 25 miles for each 1/16th mark on the fuel gauge...

The fact that it was getting that terrible of mileage just from a bad 02 sensor is kinda crazy... It totally makes sense and is a perfectly reasonable cause for bad gas mileage, but to see it first hand is just crazy.
