Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Got a balance done. Gas is 2.11 for 87 and continuing to drop

did my water pump today. people say you can take one bolt off the p/s pump and then move the pump out of the way of the pump bolt. yeah, that dont work lol had to take it off.

then installed a hub ring spacer to replace the one thats missing. car rides smooth now. tomorrow or the next day ill swap the other 3 for the hell of it.

oh, while that wheel was off, it was the rubbing, so i rolled that quarter panel. no more rubs i hope. if it does i got real issues lol

Might be getting a new car tonight 02 ssei has a "bad head gasket" $800obo

Don't kill me, but I drove my car in the snows. Never driven this car in the snow before. It does pretty well. My street is unplowed and not salted so I'm not really wired about salt damage. It's just a bit of frozen water.

took all my wheels off, and dont ya know, not one hub ring was every there, so i popped the last tree in and OMG! its like a new car now lol

was my bad, they was never there, i bought the wheels used with snow tires. and i thought they were snug looking, but that 2.7 hub bore difference really needs to be taken care of.

10 dollar fix, cant complain, only wish i had figured it out sooner.

Yeah you've been missing out lol. These cars are capable of being extremely good in snow with good tires. I've never gotten stuck and I've intentionally gone into deep unplowed areas just to see. Being a 4x4 gp the snow doesn't touch the bottom of my car until you've gone really deep so that helps. I've "undercoated" the whole bottom of my car now so rust won't be an issue there. I still have to do the insides of the door skins so the bottoms wont rust though. Rockers- well they're too far gone to save so I'm just letting them go lol. They'll get replaced if I own it for at least another few years.

What are these rings Scotty? Hub centric rings? Or something stock? I have been fighting the vibrations for years, and don't recall seeing anything on my hub or wheel.

Hub centric rings are for aftermarket wheels, stock wheels dont require them as the hub bore size isnt differernt.

They just take up the dead space and center the rim when you tighten the lug nuts.

Hmm, I might have to look into those for my Bullitts...link by chance?

i bought these 4 come in the set.

you jack up your car take the lugs off, see if you can lift the wheel up while its flat to the hub, if it moves you need em.

you can also measure with a caliper the inside hub bore of the wheel. i bought one at HF, measured the inside of the wheel, it was 73.0 mm and we know a w body hub bore is 70.3. so thats what i bought. you need to measure your wheels to be sure.

mustang wheels are 70.3 http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-r...#axzz3PVLqz9FU

I thought mustangs were 73.1

that link says 70.3 just like ours.
