What did you do to your Car today?

Ran some errands this morning, including a trip to the dump.

On the hub front, I replaced the hub bolts on my Impala, just because I baby it more. On the GP, I did have to replace one bolt because the corners were starting to strip. Dealership doesn't usually stock the bolts, but they luckily had one. And you're gonna have to go to a dealership for them. I have yet to find a auto parts store that stocks them.
 


Stole the little rubber center console "Matt" out of my GTP and put it in the SE. A 5 to 10 HP increase an least:th_winking:
 


intalled a 5% tint brow, and 20% on the rear window, wish i could say it cameout perfect. it got some wrinkles when i was putting it on and the glass, they turned into creases. i think i spent 1 hour shrinking the tint to fit, its a slow process, but that wasen't to hard. pic to follow.

Well I was going to put on the ZZP downpipe today, but found the nut to be rust welded to the exhaust studs at the end of the downpipe. FML

I'm probably just going to let my friend do it at his shop now.

On your 07? Jeez mine were on my 98 but it's seen a lot of salt in it's life.
 
Yep. My car has 132k miles on it too. The two bolts up by the crossover look perfect. I used all my leverage and the nut wouldn't budge. I was afraid if I tried any harder it was going to snap, and that isn't something I wanted to deal with tonight after working on my mom's car the last two days.

Just spray the hell out of it with liquid wrench.

Yeah, I've sprayed and left it to soak overnight, and basically let myself cool off after getting angry trying to remove it. Another trick I've seen is to use a jack to push the ratchet/breaker bar up, instead of trying to do it yourself. Sometimes that "third arm" is what you need to pop the nut.
