• 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?

turns out getting my tires re balanced made the vibration twice as bad. so i rotated the tires and its smooth as glass now. so back to re balance again, cause i want these new tires up front cause they have more meat then the other set.

firestone claims they could not break my rear tie rod bar free to adjust the toe, so i broke that free today with minimal effort. i tried to just ape on em but the bar was twisting, so i grabbed a wire brush cleaned up the threads, then sprayed some wd-40 on the threads, tapped on both lock nuts with a hammer a few times, and dont ya know they both broke free......guy at fire stone had the torch on them and failed to move em. lazy muther f ers.

Built a smaller, sealed sub box for my W3. The old box was ported and too small, so it's hard to compare because obviously this sounds a LOT better. It's 1.125 cubic feet and 100% sealed, I made sure of that lol. Total cost including lunch for my dad and I was $55 so I'm not complaining, I'll gain a bunch of trunk space back, and it sounds amazing. My lights still dim when it hits full tilt at idle, but I'm going to drill a new ground in the floor of the trunk when I finish everything up tomorrow, I don't trust the ground on top of the strut tower brace.
 
Cooler lines arrived, picked up some Dex VI and extra Jesus Clips and a funnel.

Will go on sunday when its in the mid 30s and not low 20s

Yeah I was trying to describe it to the woman at autozone, and shes like "Oh you mean Jesus clips" and I'm like yeah them things. Freaking cost me 10 bucks so I hope I dont need them so I can return em.
 
found out my vibration was caused by so far it looks like one wheel is missing the hub ring. so i measured the inside of the wheel and bought a set of hub rings.

firestone finally got my alignment done right. the wheel is a touch off center but ill get used to it. car drives straight again, all that matters.

and it looks like my water pump took a crap on me. pulleys got play and i got a off/on coolant leak. wet belts and balancer too. weep hole area looked dirty compared to the rest of the pump snout.

if it aint one thing its another

3 years! I dont feel sorry for you anymore.

Waterpumps seem to go on me in a year and a half tops... On the last 4 GPs It would be like clockwork.
 


hubs im used to lol done 4 of them iirc. the p/s pump ive done once. and the rack twice. this time i went new rack. <<<<the main reason i have all these alignment issues. it needed to be done after the rack.
