Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Bought rear pads and rotors for it. Now to wait for it to warm up a little before I replace them, or just pay my buddy to put them on at his heated shop.

Ported my TB completely done, awesome if I must say so myself, hahahaaa... Came out better than I expected.

after i got the new muffler on i could hear a leak, so after starting it up this morning i started looking for the exhaust leak i could hear as it was 17 deg's here and i knew i could see it now. so i found the seam on the resonator rusted and free flowing exhaust. so i got some of that muffler wield stuff, and sealed it up, worked like a charm. now to see how long it will last, before im changing that too.

I changed the plugs, belt, and oil on my wifes friends ga. Super easy to work on a 4 cyl car that was designed to have a v6 in it.

i figured as much, they dont cost much, just a pain in the ass getting rusted pipes to come apart. the muffler i broke it off the inlet, and used a cut off wheel to cut the pipe off the other pipe, chit was solid.

good part is the leak area was only 6 inches long, sanded it up spread it on the whole seam. sounds quiet now, nice to hear the engine and not the exhaust farting out the back.

get a cherry bomb glasspack and stick in there.
there what like 20 bucks?

i was looking them up tonight. i think i would need a flange wielded up on one side unless they come with it already, im not sure. replacement res is like 70 tho, looks like a glass pack too.

On my way to work yesterday SES light came on for the first time. Gotta go check it out today to see what code it pulls up. Hope its nothing serious. Still runs beautifully.

im gonna say... its the thermostat!

Replaced the radiator after I bumped the old one swapping motors.

Put yet more KMs on the car!

had to go to the tire dealer down the street from me after work to get the left front tire fixed, car was in the cold garage for 2 1/2 days and noticed it was almost flat. Freaking tires are leaking at the rim again for about the 5th time.

I drove the 05 for the first time besides taking it off the trailer and putting it in the shop. It handles and brakes better than the 04...

Hit 137000 miles, and ran it through the carwash even though it was raining.
