Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Did a ghetto toe alignment on my car until next week Tuesday. Before you could tell visually both wheels were toed out, I did the sidewall check to get it as close to 0° toe as I could possibly do. Basically you look from the front level with the center of the rim, and working your way towards the car watch to make sure the sidewalls of the front tire line up at the same time as they cover the sidewalls of the rear tire. It was quite off before, now they line up perfect. As a comparison I looked at a friend's car and his was lined up the exact same, so I'm confident I won't wear my tires out until Tuesday. Watch them both be perfectly at 0 lol. I doubt it, but it's close.

Also gutted my friends aurora's stock intake box, much throatier sounding now. We didn't completely gut it because he didn't want any more engine compartment air getting in, but it's about 70% gutted. He's happy with it, it's louder and lets a few more people know it's a v8.

Alright I loosened the nuts til they were almost off, raised it and moved the strut around and to the middle of the holes, lowered it back down, and tightened them. The suspension is still high, maybe I'll throw two new rears and have a lifted GP. It's ready for any kind of michigan roads.

Ethanol has been in fuels since the mid 80's. The only thing about long term storage and ethanol is that it absorbs water , not something a daily driver has to worry about at all.

Drove through some mountains and stuff.

Polished up my black wheels to get them to look better. I will post in the detailing forum within the next couple days with photos.

The only leak I've found was from a broken coolant arm. I'll keep an eye out now when I part, but I never saw puddles underneath the car even before I replaced the elbows. I stopped driving the Imp last week after the first diagnosis, but since it's back together with some parts changed, I'll use it again as my daily driver.

So that's what's in store this week. An average of 100 miles a day with a mix of short trips on local roads to highway driving.

Driving the buick from cincinnati to atlantic city. Just over a 10 hour trip, hope to make it in 9

Its going to need an oil change soon.....trying to decide if I wanna get the oil pan, rear vc and motor mount done now or wait till next. The car has started leaving drips in the driveway again since its warmed up. So she's banned from parking there until its fixed, and I hate parking on the street so I guess I answered that question.

Parked next to this at the store. Badass old man driving it. Daily driven.

still has more balls than yours.............

I agree lol it was just an awesome car

1/4 mile isn't that impressive.

Looks like a 65 GTO. I was in a '64 GTO and it ran 0-60 in just over 6 seconds.

Like a GTP?

Changed the cap and rotorin the crapiece and now it runs awesome. Washed it and set it sideways leaving and it made me smile

About time you got it running right Dan haha.

amazing what 25 bucks in parts can do.

Now to do ball joints and a new tire and multi function switch and she'll be set. I'll be driving it next week
