What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

change my busted rear sway bar for a used, but in pretty good shape police taxi one. greased the bar at the bushings and loaded her up.

before i took the old one out i did a push down test on the rear corners, it was pretty soft, after the new bar its much firmer to push down and it looks to have raised the rear a little bit.

over all being the old one was busted off on one side this one feels a metric ton better, no more squeak or rattle from the rear end too. cars much more solid feeling over bumps and handles less like a boat now lol


thanks again to buickman. :th_thumb-up::th_thumb-up:

Good to see atleast someone can finish something around here instead of the recent multi bailers.

I still can't believe one of those people in that sway bar didn't swing a chair at the terrorist.

Finally replaced the boost bypass solenoid on the GTP with a new one just now. Thats an item parts store kids will look at you funny for asking about, even if you word it like its in their computer lol. Bought it off some chick with face piercings and dreadlocks.

Did nothing to the GP.. Hard to be motivated to go out and work on the damn thing when it's been it the upper 90s.

I did pull the deck from the GP and installed it in the charger, I got fed up not having a aux cord.

Using the temporary dash kit and bezel until my color matched factory one arrives, was lucky enough to find one meant for the charger that came with factory navi since they've been discontinued for quite some time. I'll have to modify the dash kit a bit since it hits anytime I eject a cd. Ordered a backup camera from China also while I was at it.

I drove it for the first time since Thursday. Been sitting at my aunt's while I was at the races.

Put a shift kit in, changed the oil and tinted the tails and reverse light bar... because black looks cool. lol

I finally took time out for the car and washed it up, wiped the interior down and also took care of the wife's car. A clean car feels so much better

Picked up a jump drive to save the 3,000 plus photos off my old broke @$$ laptop. While I was at it I printed some of said photos. Most were family photos & a few were of the old GTP. Man I miss that thing;

I probably will. Why is it even there? Does it help prevent heat or does it trap heat in

It's supposed to deaden noise from the engine compartment

IIRC in the event that your motor did catch fire help to keep it contained l. I ripped mines out 7 years ago and never looked back

lol I kept mine to absorb all of the salt from the ocean... It didn't help. lol

That's pretty ironic. I did a few small things to hear the whine of the sc while the big thing preventing it has been in there.

Lol I started hearing all the noises I didn't want to, once I pulled it out.

You are very welcome Scotty! I am glad you liked the upgrade!

Yeah!!!! Now I can lock/unlock my driver door!!!!

Those electronic latch assemblies are expensive to buy new. The drivers side rear door on my crew cab had one go bad during the winter, wouldn't even stay latched to keep the door closed. Dealers wanted over $100 just for one, had to find one online.
