Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Made a bit of progress on my retro..

Change my oil out in a puddle of mud! Gotta love the mild Wisconsin winters but hate my way of changin oil.

I took the stereo out and put it in the Accent. It just sits there collecting dust

mounted new tires on my new new wheels, now they sit till the salt is off the roads

Thought about about how long it'll take the neighbor kid to realize I asked her to wash my car while she was over doing hers. When she didn't and then asked when I could fix her fuel sender, I brought up the car. Said she'd be over the next day. LOL yup ok.

My car decided to get a pretty bad misfire at anything over 10lbs of vacuum, so I replaced the coils, still got a slight one in boost so it looks like the ICM is next. I already went through the plugs/wires.

Drove it to work and got a text from a friend asking me to look at her car because it's dumping oil everywhere. 10.99 later i changed the oil pressure sending unit and she was super happy. I also noticed that her o2 sensor wires were cut so i stripped and spliced them until she can pick one up.

Took some pictures of it since it was lookin' pretty good today...

other than that, nothing just worked on the Eclipse some more. things starting to look less like a piece and more like an actual car again

Drove it to Muncie and back for work.
Nothing better than a 2.5 hr road trip in a warm car and drizzly/crappy weather to put you to sleep...

I got the Stealth started and moved into the driveway. I pulled the battery out of it so I can take it back and get a free replacement under warranty.

Got my windows tinted. 5% all the way around!

Let's see some pics!

I am going to tomorrow. It's suppose to be sunny out and warm up a bit here in Illinois. I hope so. Need to do some detailing!

accumulated a good amount of dirt driving the 30 miles into the city and 30 miles back home, round trip takes two hours, god i hate traffic

Spray painted in the engine bay (yes the high heat paint), and got a new grill badge, will post pics eventually

Window Tint 5% all the way around, actually done yesterday but just got some pics. Sorry the pics are not that great. The sun wasn't shinning and I took them with my phone.
