Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

I changed the coil packs and got a STB!

I turned over 209,000 miles and played in some parking lots with it.

Parking lots are always a blast.

washed it, filled her up, then parked it only to have it snow like a b*tch tonight haha

Got it back from an oil change and tire rotation.
They think the leak is coming from oil pan gasket. I sure hope so, it sounds the least invasive and least expensive from the list of possibilities.

Oh, and the SLP spoiler came yesterday!

not be the bear of bad news, but the oil pan gasket is a pain to replace and pretty spendy aswell from a shop.

Id say its best to de-grease the underside of the motor first to be for sure thats whats leaking.

I know, I gotta get it washed, just don't have the best access to do such.
So oil pan is more expensive than valve covers? I guess I thought valves would be expensive like the lim?

valve covers are easy, there are just a few brackets in the way thats all, remove those and you can get at all the VC bolts.

Larbor time would be the reason why the oil pan would be more than the valve covers.

Oil pan gasket replacement = engine pulled, or subframe dropped. Both = labor. Labor = money.

I changed my oil today.
Changed my brothers tie rod ends yesterday.(with moogs, only way to do it.)

Did the tranny pan drop, fluid change, shift kit, replaced fuel filter, hooked up the engine components, heat shrunk the broken vac lines till replacements arrive, refilled all fluids, changed oil and lastly... Fired her back up! No leaks, everything good!

Barely touched the key and she started like a champ ready to go!!!

Hahaha, and wouldn't you know it, got e-mail that my headers shipped!


I knew it!!! Knew that would happen... lol

Just get under there or if your that kind of girl you could have your bf get under there and try to tighten up your oil pan. It might slow down the leak if not make it stop for a while.

replaced a burnt out rear bulb.. how exciting i know

changed all my interior lighting to red leds..

Why does everything have to cost money?
I'm not scared to crawl under there and tighten things, i was under it last week looking at the ickyness. I just gotta get it jacked up a bit so I can get under there easier.

Put on my new wheels and tires!!

after changing the tail light bulb, i found my trunk light is out.. damn bulbs.

It cost less to do it yourself and you learn something in the process. Just don't go ape **** on the bolts and strip on out or anything. I tightened mine a while back and I haven't seen any spots of oil on the ground lately.
