• 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?

Don't know what engine you have but on the 3.1 the water pump will only go on one way. Remove the old one ,c lean the housing then dry fit the pump. Try to start all 5 bolts. If you can't turn it one bolt hole at a time til all 5 bolts start. Then mark the pump and housing. After that you an add your gasket or sealer.
 
This stuff is da bomb.
Used it today in the garage when 32 outside.

put new back brake line in. jacked the car up started to feel the line, the whole thing was rusted to crap (bad) so i cut the line on the drivers side and the pass side and put a whole new line across the back of the car. so i returned that 20 inch line, cause that wont reach, got a 72 inch one have about 16 inches left.

did the one man bleed method too. works well but i need to go back and do it the good old fashioned way and do the whole car as the master was almost dry from gravity bleeding its self over the last 2 days.

Changed the oil in the Prius. It'll come due again at 103k. Here's to hoping that gets me through the worst of winter. The GP was changed about 200 miles ago, too.
 
front pass. head light burned out tonight.. light wasn't in there for even a year.. and now my abs and all that **** is freaking out too now.... idea of what it could be? dad said that it might just be the wire harness that goes to the wheel... 30 dollar fix?

Schmidty--

More like a $400 fix because it could be any one of four wheel speed sensors. Or it could be a wire. Or it could be a fuse. Or... ignore it. Because you'll just start throwing parts at it otherwise.

Take your car out to an empty parking lot, mess with the braking - learn threshhold braking, learn how to pump the brakes in an emergency, that way you won't lock the wheels up without ABS.

ABS does something. It disables the breaks when you don't get traction, since it thinks you don't need them anyway.
 
New passenger side CV axle, new passenger side Moog Hub assembly, new brake pads. Painted caliper red for a quick extra 50 HP.
