Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Started mine up and took her for a spin after a weekend away. Cruising around Raleigh on 440 i got a race with a guy with an Acura TL. Pretty close race but we never got to go past 70. I was pulling away by the time we shut it down. Then we got off the same exit and ran em again. Almost same result, close, but me pulling away. Low and behold he turns into my neighborhood (live on a golf course. Pretty big neighborhood) and we get to talk for a few minutes. He has headers, catback, intake, and supposedly pistons rods and other deep engine stuff done. Pretty cool guy. Got his number and hopefully we get to run em again tomorrow or the next day. I was pretty stunned i didn't pull hard on him, but when we did get to go (traffic kept getting in the way) i did pull. But not as much as i would have liked..


Edit/Cliff notes: Ran an Acura, then had to get more e85 cause i ran out a 1/4 of a tank playing with this kid. And i get like 10 mpg through 5 tanks so far. But... Racecar

New alarm is in, and performance is good so far, I guess. I went for a drive up to Springfield with the family today to do a few things and we stopped by Bass Pro to show him all the fish and the GIANT alligator snapping turtle, just to find out he died in November. Oh well, he was 100 years old, lol. For some reason the alarm wouldn't work inside Bass Pro. It supposed to be 1 mile range and it worked in the mall, Home Depot, all kinds of other big buildings, but not Bass Pro. Screen does seem a lot more vibrant on this remote too, so that's always nice. Never thought I'd need a screen protector for my keys, lol. Not bad for $230:

Got the bonneville most of the way back together. Just need to finish brake lines and injector orings.

I got a bit of touch up work to do, but I am happy with the results. Maybe next year I can get the whole car painted. I still need to paint the T'bird and that is more of a priority.

Not really, but kinda. It has 3 Aux channels that provide a ground for 0.8 seconds. I'm using that ground to trigger a relay, which will trigger the One Touch Modules I put in, and will roll the windows up\down. Everytime I lock the car it'll roll everything up and close the sun roof, but opening the sun roof will be separate. All 4 windows will be connected though, so if I can roll them down together from the remote.

Normal day to work and back really. Residential streets still weren't plowed so I was driving through near foot tall snowy ruts, no problems though. Even made a complete stop and took off just fine, taking it easy of course. So many cars would have been stuck in that. You know it's tall if it's scraping the bottom of my 4x4 gp. I should measure the distance from the floorboard to the ground. Anyway main roads were ok, some had packed down snow. Saw some lady in front of me run the red light intentionally since traffic was clear. Another clip on the dash cam..

Ripped up the rear bumper cover trying to pull an S10.

Ordered Addco rear sway yesterday, so far I have a $300+ bill racked up at rockauto, lol. Now I'm trying to figure out if I want halos on my retros or no...

I remember driving through 9-10" of unplowed streets in my GP and taking it like a champ. Looking in my rear view mirror and seeing tracks from the underside of the car..crazy ****. That car was so damn good in the snow I wish I would have kept it for the winter time.

Ordered my Intercooler !

^ which one

sseilmnop gen V core, I have the rest of the components here. Going to start slowly bolting it up the stuff in the next few weeks.

Got it towed home, so I don't have to pay storage fees.

Pffff. Inches of snow? Try several feet of snow.......



Those are 42" tires and about 8" of lift that you can't see. LOL

Well when you get run off the road into a ditch... Lol

That too. LOL

That pic was taken a few years ago, but up in the mountains. One year when we were up there I had an interesting encounter; I stopped near the top of the mountain to air down some more, and I see this......




She nodded and said hello as she ski'd past me. LOL
