Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

I got the 3 pod A pillar gauge holder, the HUD dual gauge holder from ZZP and I just ordered a Prosport performance series mechanical boost/vacuum gauge, the Prosport digital series air/fuel gauge with voltmeter and air fuel pigtail from ZZP.

washed, fueled, and oil change all by myself

For me, only one backed out, but that one backing out, along with the rash of other incidents around the same time is enough evidence for me to use lock-tite on them for now on.

Yeah I figured it was the bracket bolts. But yeah, I don't blame ya. Now you got me worried about mine lol. Hopefully I won't have any bolts come out and if I do... I have 12" rotors now so it pushes the caliper and everything right up the inside of the wheel, not really much room to jam.

not in this city you can't. Unless I haven't found it. And I've been around Memphis. But yeah in my experience, I've found no ethanol gases in small rural towns (for me it was in Arkansas). yeep.

It can still jam. It will bring you to a screeching halt if the top bolt comes out.

Ya its hard to find gas without ethanol here aswell, My reg gas station has upto 10%.
And its crap that they shove that **** down our pipes.

It kills mpg.

And they say its American Ethanol, but alot of it comes from china - liers!!!!!

Yea that is very true. Ethanol free is awesome but its 10-15 cents more expensive per gallon

Its only more expensive because people prefer it more.

well...I'll keep that in mind. just hope it don't happen any time soon. I guess next time I have the wheels off I'll throw some loctite on there.

Hope you don't lose those bolts. They are like $18 a piece from GM if my memory serves me.

They're free from a junk yard. I snagged 4 of em last time I went and picked up those bigger sized caliper brackets. So. If I lose one I have spares

Who buys bolts?

guys like me with no real junk yards near me.

im sowwy. let me know if I can get you some bolts bud. As long as you don't mind waiting for shipping.

Changed the oil in mom and dad's van and was supposed to change a water pump on a guys elantra but on the way to my house his car overheated and he kept going until it died on him and wouldn't restart. So a $100 fix for him turned into a possible new motor

I did too if I wanted it to start after 4 or 5 days sitting.
Last year in November while I was in Vegas/Pahrump it sat at the airport for about 12 days. It started after turning over about half a turn. I don't think it had much more in it. I had a jumper pack in the trunk just in case.

bout time yer lazy ass done somethin with one of those gps

I really need to change my supercharger oil. I don't know if it has ever been done. I bet 150,000 mile old sc oil is going to smell GREAT.

I also need to do a pan drop. I checked the trans fluid yesterday. Its dark, but doesn't really smell burnt. I'm almost afraid to do a pan drop and filter change. That always seems to be the precursor to death of an automatic transmission.

well i did mine almost 30k miles ago. and I had some burnt ass fluid. and ole girl still tickin better than she was before believe it or not
