Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

To nice of a car for you give it to someone who isn't going to break it

Installed voltage booster. And checked oil is still full after 1000 miles on oil change. Miracle

Drove it in some heavy rain. At least all the salt is washed off.

Bought stuff for an oil change. Doing that tomorrow

Picked a friend up to go to a JY to get some parts for his truck, they ended up being closed (earlier on weekends as I didn't know) so it was a pointless hour and a half drive total. Oh well, it needed a good drive anyway. Good news is my tires are holding air perfectly, and no p/s noise yet so it must not be a large leak.

Do you think this can be plugged?

Is that a screw?

hell yeah. you could plug that with out removing the wheel form the car.


i ran over a high heel shoe heel, and it went in my tire, it took 4 plugs to seal it but it sealed.

Looks like
*puts on sunglasses*
you got screwed
Yeahhhhhhh

Yup thats a screw. Happened today.

I hope it can be plugged these tires are pretty new.

buy a tire plug kit, its under 10 bucks. i keep mine in my trunk at all times. never know when you need one.

if you go to a tire shop they will patch it. its a much better repair, but also cost more, as the tire has to come off and then re balanced.

I guess I will try that tomorrow. I should be able to get these tires plugged for me.

its easy.pump the tire up to 60 psi, pull the screw, ream the hole with the reamer, then thread the plug in the tool, push it in till theres a inch of plug sticking out, then pull the tool out. spit helps lube the plug for entry lol

then with a sharp ass new razor cut the plug end shorter so it dont get pulled on.

Think I figured out why so slow, the boost gauge on the DIC is only going half way at wot. What would cause that?

You don't have like a road hazard warranty on them do you?

boost by pass valve or the solenoid for it.

Boost bypass valve not closing all the way.

How do I fix that?
