• 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?

Lol wow. Craigslist a mechanic man. Doin plugs should take a hour tops start/finish.
 


my damn abs was failing the self test every time i fired up the car and went to go, so i popped off and worked all 4 hub plugs, seems to be better now.

ill need to re grease them all now.
 
Ordered a 192°F thermostat for it. I think that's where I'll keep it all year around. I've been using 180° this summer, but now I'm cooling my trans separately so the engine will be fine at around normal temps. I'm pretty sure many newer cars are coming with 192° t-sats anyways. It would be nice to get a tune for low 200, high 206.
 
Finished up the rims and put them on, then drove her 60miles to Springfield for a doctor's appointment, put some 93 in her and drove home. Didn't really notice a difference with the 93, never ran it before. This had no ethanol and was 93, I normally run no ethanol 91. $3.62 for the 91, $3.82 for the 93, and the 93 is only at one station in Springfield, so I won't be running it often.

Plugs on a GXP are surprisingly easy to change if you remove the ignition coils first.
