• 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?

Engine mount's are gone, lim is leaking, passenger's axle is broke, both front hub's, ebcm won't communicate, miss firing on all 3 cylinder's in rear head, HUD broken, soft squishy brake pedal. Either power steering pump and or rack have given up life. It has the typical strut tower/quarter panel rust. I'm sure there is more I haven't noticed or seen yet. I haven't lifted it to know how bad anything else is. I got home and it was in my driveway.

It was given to me as a driveable parts car. Trans has been gone through at some point (the case was painted). I may fix enough to sell it, I need to add up what part's will cost to decide to fix and flop or strip what I can use to scrap it.

Missfire solved, firing order was all screwed up. Compression tested 140-155 on all cylinders. At the least I know Transmission is good and engine is good.

Haha yeah....I'm short so by the time I get in and smack the snow off my shoes off my legs hit there. Whoopsies.
Car did not like the 1* weather this morning.
 


Synthetic engine oil makes my engine just fine with cold starts. I've started it on many 10-15°F mornings, and not a single lifter tap was heard. Or anything abnormal.
 


trying to find the source of moisture that is causing my windshield to frost over on the inside. Thinking it might be from a bottle of water that got spilled on the passenger side. Need to look into it more.

On a side note, hoping for a warmer day so I can wash off the rock salt residue.
 
Your car isn't leaking water in the pass footwell is it? That was my problem for a while was soaked. Left some container thing that takes out moisture and it was k

so had to dig out my trunk, aka unload it, drag out the spare tire. the bottle jack didn't fit so i had to use the stock jack to get the tire off, yea me!!! then i took it to my friends pumped it up to 60 psi, hit it with a spray bottle of hot soapy water. found the inside bead leaking the whole way round.

beat the tire off the bead some, installed bead sealant, so far so good, passed the bubble test back at 60 psi.
 
after that crap was done, i sanded up my used wheels and snow tires cleaned them up some and did some below freezing plastidip work on them, not to bad really.

they all looked like this.

still wet in these shots, it dulls up pretty good when dry.
 


Did the 5* cold start this morning. Car cranked right up, with no ticking or other odd noises that aren't usual (the S/C coupler rattling like a bat out of hell). Went to Wal-Mart, gassed it up, and found out why my gas tank only holds 12 gallons after driving down to 1/8 of a tank - I can put at least two more gallons in there after the first click-off.\

Then baited a ricer in a Civic at a stop light by rolling my window down and playing One Direction at full volume. Some kid wearing a beanie and sitting way too far forward in the seat must've thought he was on Fast and Furious. It was fun to cook him on green. I got the ricer flyby about half a mile later.
