What did you do to your Car today?

[RALM]

totally forgot. My other early christmas present came in on Wednesday:

 

[brandonl2000]

So this car gets like zero traction lol

Sliding around on just a bit of ice in the driveway.

Brand new tires even

the only way to get around in the snow is with a 4x4, fwd sucks in the snow, they say its better then rwd, but im not on board with that at all.

if i don't take the traction control off in my regal, you can forget the car moving.

Northern problems... :th_shakinghead2:

Turned the rotors and put some adaptive ones brake pads in my sisters bonneville yesturday. Then oil change today along with jerry rig fixing a seep on one trans cooler line, still seeps but is way slower from the looks of it. I'll replace the line later when I can get it in the shop at work. Stupid cars.

 

[heavydtheogre]

OK finally got it clear - anyone guess how???????????????

 

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

brake cleaner

 

[GTP in RTP]

sulfuric acid ? lol

 

[tod1d]

took out the 180 t-stat today, hoping for better fuel economy, only time will tell

 

[heavydtheogre]

nope - brake cleaner doesnt work on the gauge portion, I cut it out
the red it the base of the gauge face.

 

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Gave it a long needed hand wash, then made it a camera whore.

 

[heavydtheogre]

OK soaked the piece(of cluster face) i cut out in carb cleaner - and results

 

[gtpeddie]

heavyd what are you trying to do? lol

 

[gtpeddie]

Were preparing for winter lol

 

[Spike89]

I tried to gather more info to figure the best way to modify the L26. I also suceeded somehow to piss people off without trying. lol. It's been a great day otherwise. just stood in the 32 degree weather pondering some more while staring at the car.

 

[heavydtheogre]

heavyd what are you trying to do? lol

trying to get rid of the red color of the dash.

 

[heavydtheogre]

OK this is not work the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :th_angry-teeth:

 

[Spike89]

I like red. You know they sell different colored pods?

Ice sucks, rwd to me is much better because I am more use to driving them. 4x4 is just a addition that makes people think they are invincble while I drive by them in the ditch, still only using 4x2. Ohio drivers SUCK. Wish Michigan had more jobs and wasn't so liberal. I would move there.

4x4 suv, trash in the snow, false confidence for sure. will get you point A to B better, but you cant drive it like its on a rail. they slide real easy.

but a full size pick up truck, with a 8' fisher plow and 1000 lbs of salt in the back, is a beast. my gmc would start and stop like it was dry out. the 33 x 12.5 BF Goodrich all terrains had a lot to do with it.

now you know why i think my regal sucks in the snow.

Those tires and I have a great respect for Uniroyal tiger paws, and Goodyear wrangler radials. Had the good years on all my trucks $79 a piece and awesome in snow. The tiger paws are on my grandmas 08 G6. Also awesome and they have 80k warranty.
