• 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?

Ace I bet if you put pads on it you won't need a drop of new fluid. +1 Kyleosaurus Russ.

Nate that looks a lot better. Mine is bug-eyed with one lamp sticking out because the black bracket is patched up. I need lamps like a hog needs slop.

NB02, those are gonna improve looks for sure. I'll be watching for pics. My headlight ideas are still too retro at this point,lol.
 
You put all new brakes on and still needed fluid? That's what he meant. Then there may be a leak if it needed more.

I've had a leak since I bought my car, the aluminum proportioning valve on the drivers side is corroded badly. That will get replaced before winter.

Also not my car but helped put all the components on a 3800 s/c for a riviera. The engines class rebuilt the bottom end after the intake gaskets took out the bearings. Also did some work on a 87 turbo 3.8 regal.

Did not put brakes on yet. And I probably do have a slow leak somewhere

Be prepared when you do change your brakes, you'll want to suck some of the fluid back out. When you change the brakes, you push the piston in the caliper (to make room for the new friction material on the brakes) and that will cause your reservoir to overflow and spill brake fluid everywhere...which eats paint and such.

An old turkey baster works great for those types of things.
 


Put a civic in his place when he tried to pass me. Then after my car cooled a bit I changed 4 plugs I'll get the other 2 tomorrow.

If I'm not over here I'm at FSB and I'm a moderator at FTC. Before I got my GP, my truck was my baby. I guess it still should be.

Nice. I used to spend a lot of time on FSB. My Bronco rotted out and the F-250 I had sitting here for a few years with big dreams in my head, well, I sold that a few months ago. Don't have the drive to 4x4 these days. Still got a mountain of parts that I don't want to get rid of. LOL
 


Removed the 6000K HID fog bulbs.....
