Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

The new whip, bone stock and slow....









Atleast it has mudflaps on the front....and it has 164,000 miles on it.  Needs a lower motor mount, tie rod ends, and then I'm going to go around and fix the little rust that is there and she will be all ready to get set up for mods.

Cleaned the inside of the windshield, put the radar detector back in. Getting ready for a 200 mile round trip tomorrow. First trip with the I/C and 3.4, wonder what the MPG will be.

How do those subs sound just mounted to the back deck with no box?

Rolled over to 111K miles. Almost time for my yearly oil change. 3k on full synthetic, low mile intervals but I do "severe" driving. Mostly city, stop and go, short trips etc.



I want to see if I can capture 111,111 miles

i got my pick up truck right at 100,000.0 i was driving in circles around a parking lot as the last mile/tenths rolled off.

Good way to blow subs

there are 2 kinds of sub woofers, open air, and box types.

Fixed the gas gauge by replacing the sending unit on our impala. It was a pretty easy job, only took me about an hour and a half, taking my time not to break any plastic.

It's real worn out, and grinds when I turn it.


The new one that slides good. I put a little bit of dielectric grease on the contacts to hopefully make it last longer.


New parts installed


All finished


Finally works again.

Where did you buy the sending unit ? Is that the Dorman one ?

Surprisingly it all sounds amazing. The guy told me that he had everything tuned precisely and he was not kidding. The subs are 2 10" cheap ass pyles and then he has some really cheap aftermarket speakers in the door and then some nice tweeters that he put in the A-pillar, he told me the tweeters were the most expensive speakers out of them all being like $30 a piece. But with this system I can turn it up all the way with no distortion and it comes out crystal clear and the subs give a nice thump especially on the low notes. Also another amazing thing is that there are just about no rattles what so ever.
