Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

BFH here and out they come

you had best kick his ass.!!!!!!

Hmm aren't those new Focuses pretty quick?

It's a Fiesta ST. 1.6 Turbo and runs a 15.0 from the factory. He's a damn good driver so it'll be close.

Just don't break anything

IDK...pretty close...all i know is that ST looks gay as all hell lol

Mother eff.

So I washed the car, wiped it down really well, clay barred it and then broke out the PC to do a round of rubbing compound. Not even 1/3 of the way through the car the velcro backing started coming loose on my yellow pad. I only have one yellow pad right now too. I really don't feel like doing this by hand. It may just have to wait.

Clay what did you run at the strip? Might wanna practice you reaction times and launches.

what pads you got? the HF crap? if so try slower speed, they last longer that way.

Lake Country.

really? i got them and run the yellow at 5. did my whole car one time so far. and its still intact.

my brother uses them, and they seem to last for at least a few years. and hes does his yukon monthly. im not kidding. monthly year round.

I bet it looks showroom fresh with that amount of care. Wow

Well I postponed doing my suspension til next weekend because my tools aren't capable, I'll get the tools from work on friday. So I decided to give changing the downstream o2 sensor another try...still no luck, that thing is rust welded in there. So I got fed up and dropped the whole exhaust and dragged it out so I could get to it better. I got lots of room for more leverage, got it in no time. So now that's changed out finally and no more ses light. I also ran it with the downpipe off..sounded terrible. Also noticed one of the exhaust hangers rusted off so I welded that back on. Now I'm thinking of doing my mirror turn signals and puddle lights today

Aren't capable? Seized bolt?

Just every bolt, I have a weak impact gun here that won't take the bolts off, and the socket cracked too (cheap sockets I inherited)

I did 3ft breaker and stood on it, if your talking about the strut to knuckle bolts and when the ones was being annoying the jack handle on that worked wonders.

Yeah if I had the right sockets I would do that. Ill get my snap-on impact sockets from work and my good impact gun and it will take every bolt off instantly.

Also found out today that this last winter did a good number on my rockers...They're looking pretty bad now. You can see it when opening the doors, if I feel up to it I may try and tackle replacing them.
