Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Cleaned it some, and drove across town to return old alternator then decided to do a quick pull on the highway.

60-100 pull - YouTube
Slow I know

I didn't check out your link but here's what I did-

Take a small plastic tote (you know, that you'd store stuff in), and cut it to fit in that little crevice. Cut holes for airflow and get yourself a roll of self adhering insulation padding and a can of professional 3m adhesive spray(available at your local Home Depot). Mount the tote accordingly, pre cut some insulation, then section by section spray it down with the adhesive and stick your insulation to it. My PCM safely rests at the bottom and my IATs run about 10* over the outside temp (unless I'm parked, with car running for a while). I also used some leftover header wrap to keep the stainless tube going to the TB cool.



You can kind of see it in this pic.
It's more of a heat shield than a box, but on my park ave I have outside air blowing basically right behind my headlight.

I had a piece of plexiglass cut to fit over it, just didnt spend the time to find a good method to get it mounted nicely.

put this in today

Tnx.

U must be sad.
At leastI have a part of her

I'm a little sad about it but she lived a good life

Finished installing my last painted caliper, and flushed/bled the brake system with my homemade vacuum bleeder. Fluid is nice and new, and the pedal is very hard.

The old fluid:

The clean new fluid:



Power steering fluid is next, then transmission fluid. Then I will have changed every fluid

I think this is where I'd post one of those "not sure if serious" meme things

hey navy guy, explain this homemade bleeder contraption.. why 2 lines? i assume you were able to do this as a 1 man job?

the one line from the caliper needs to stay in the fluid, and not come out of it, ( so it cant suck air back in) the second line looks like a vent. for the bottle.

that looks like a 2 dollar bleeder that i may have to make my self. a smaller bottle may be in order tho, cant see wasting that much fluid.

a large Snapple bottle may work just fine. theres not as much fluid as you would think.

would be nice to see 2nd line with a pump on it so you can suck the fluid out

so i drove my gals new dart..... holy... most gutless thing i think i've ever drivin....
