Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

The tires on my gp were worse than that. Those are still pretty bad tho lol

Yeah I keep it under 75 mph lol. I've been tempted to go faster in some situations but I really didn't want to push it. Can't wait for the new ones. Still don't know exactly what to get. It has to be all seasons and under $120 each. Preferably at discount tire, we deal with them on all of our cars and we like their service/warranty.

Jacked it up in the front yard. With my new power I f'd the passenger axle and i have to replace the wheel hub on that side anyway

Also got some new toilet plunger heads.













I really don't want people looking at this and really believing that's what they are, they're cv boots lol

Umm, I need them? Or do you just like replacing boots? I don't have the special clamp crimping tool, but it looks like I can get away with the basic tools I do have.

Lookin good! Did you use VHT for the tint? My turn signals are in desperate need of this.

Started my work on a front engine mount.

The front piece of **** mount pictured here



And what I'm piecing together now it'll be filled with poly when I get time to cut my block of poly down

Drove it to TSC. Put some dog food in the trunk.

I would consider getting one or renting one. I've tried using regular tools and could never get the clamp tight enough.

why don't you just get switch backs..... c'mon...

Back when Batman was on TV Robin would say "Holy (whatever the subject was) Batman. Whatever the situation called for. If the joker had 10,000 buckets of boiling water he'd say "Holy buckets Batman"

I'm getting new ones before winter hits. They're only 5 years old and already dry rotted. I blame the previous owner, he must have used some crazy strong wheel cleaner all the time.

LOL

jack the front wheels off the ground, car off turn the steering wheel lock to lock 10 times or so, then fire it up, do it again, this should purge the air out of the lines.

Really? Alright I'll just rent or buy one from advance.

Before


Before/after. Just cleaned with dish soap.


Dish soap worked well, but not good enough, so I bought some wheel cleaner. I've been using car soap so far on the rims whenever I'd wash my car. I only used that much after applying it multiple times to both front wheels.


Much better.



You can really see the difference. If I was able to take a picture in direct sunlight you'd really see it.


I also waxed them inside and out before putting them back on.

Wow those look great! I need to do that to mine.

Thanks!


Today I vacuumed the interior carpet/dash, washed the windows inside, used armor-all, and rain-x. Also cleaned the floor mats since they were getting dirty, mostly from the previous owner. I just put all 4 on the driveway, hosed them down and put some soap on them, grabbed a brush and cleaned them and rinsed with the hose. They look a lot better, there's still one area on the drivers mat that's showing some discoloring from before, but they're clean to me. I guess I'll go get some pics since that really describes it better

They're still a little damp somehow, they've been sitting in the sun from 1:00 til now.


This picture doesn't really make the mats look clean for some reason, probably not enough light.

Here's one with the flash. Just one area is still a bit dirty.
