Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Drove to work in the rain and realized I hate my wipers. later picking up an axle on O'reillys Tab... yay free parts

... called around for the heck of it to see how much plug are to change... place in the cities wanted 300+ to do it.. because its "labor intensive" and they said they needed to do a computer reset...?

place back home said 94 bucks... LOL

Lol wow. Craigslist a mechanic man. Doin plugs should take a hour tops start/finish.

Finally got some new tires on the front. It got to the point where I was afraid to drive the thing.

my damn abs was failing the self test every time i fired up the car and went to go, so i popped off and worked all 4 hub plugs, seems to be better now.

ill need to re grease them all now.

Ordered a 192°F thermostat for it. I think that's where I'll keep it all year around. I've been using 180° this summer, but now I'm cooling my trans separately so the engine will be fine at around normal temps. I'm pretty sure many newer cars are coming with 192° t-sats anyways. It would be nice to get a tune for low 200, high 206.

Finished up the rims and put them on, then drove her 60miles to Springfield for a doctor's appointment, put some 93 in her and drove home. Didn't really notice a difference with the 93, never ran it before. This had no ethanol and was 93, I normally run no ethanol 91. $3.62 for the 91, $3.82 for the 93, and the 93 is only at one station in Springfield, so I won't be running it often.

Getting old...

Plugs on a GXP are surprisingly easy to change if you remove the ignition coils first.
