What did you do to your Car today?

**robm** · 02-16-2014

I haven't really had the chance to go over the car, as it was kind of an emergency buy. I can say it's been a hard 93k. I'm starting to think it's had a lot of stuff removed before it was sold to the guy who had it before me. It has an aftermarket exhaust of some kind, and a ubend and cat delete pipe. The air filter housing had definitely been removed before, and the PCM had been handled. A K&N air filter was in the box.

So I don't know, but the more I deal with the car, the more surprises I find. Doesn't have a lopey idle, so not thinking it has a cam. Supercharger pulley definitely stock, but a new coupler has been installed recently, maybe replaced when a smaller pulley was taken back off? I don't know.

Just bought it an OBDII Blue Tooth Adapter and Torque Pro app. I figured it costs the same as a ebay Scan tool and has more features.

Weird. I just ordered one too. Like 15 minutes ago. I have a scangauge but for 12 dollars how could you go wrong

I have a smartphone without service so maybe I'll get a window mount for it. Wouldn't mind knowing tranny temps and such.

Went to hit the remote start and nothing happened. Came outside to go to work and the battery was dead. Idk what's going on maybe it's just no good. I had a spare on the charger. Put it in and everything seems fine. Who knew putting in a battery would take a hr... I mean everything is super tight on this damn GXP...

Yup kinda tight, took me like 20 min on a impala SS. I just unbolt the fuse block and kinda spin it to the side and rotate it upwards and flip the battery on its side and sneek it out. Helps to have a 3rd arm though.

**mrlogic1234** · 02-17-2014

Yea that would have helped. I did take the fuse block apart but the killer thing was the damn battery tie down. What a dumb place to put those bolts...

Exactly the reason I moved my battery into the spare tire well

Also, Sorry I haven't gotten more pictures of the projectors up yet. They still need dialed in but I cant get to a flat surface to aim them when its really dark. By the time I get to work (even going in early) it's not dark enough. The driveway at the new house is to slopped to get a good aim, and I can't get close enough to the barn here at home to use that as a backdrop due to stupid snow piles.
But I am still really enjoying them. Not getting flashed + being able to see 100000000xs better at night = AMAZING.

Idk if you know this already or not, maybe you do. When you go to align them, you should be 25ft away and the line should be about 1in lower than the headlight height on the car.

Getting a trans fluid exchange at Valvoline. My cuz is the manager so I get it cheaper than to buy the stuff and do it myself

Why

**Below Average Joe** · 02-17-2014

would you change your oil without changing the filter?

**theaceofspades** · 02-17-2014

No but the car feels better

**mrlogic1234** · 02-17-2014

The fluid will be run through a dirty filter, and ultimately it will be contaminated and dirty like the old fluid. Completely a waste of time...
