Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Picked up some parts on the way home from work.....

Got started on a rather lengthy 'to do' list. Lots of oddball things to replace like a driver door lock & trunk board, new driver door weather stripping, driver door mirror, the list goes on & on. Re-re-re-tinted the tail lights and cleaned the oil out of the intake manifold. Conditioned the leather. Also managed to scrub most of the stains out of the suede.

Washed it plus new phone takes nice pictures

The plan is to do the same as I did with my Piaa 510's; attach the LED lights to the stock housing.....






Should be interesting. LOL

Lmao, hey if it works it works.

The main thing for me is to keep the OE mount and adjuster.

I wonder if because they sit back too far in the bumper the won't be as wide

I hit 184k miles yesterday.

Also, I had a low beam out so I bought a pair of cheap Phillips bulbs for the time being (got a pair for under $12) Pulled the "bad" bulb out and noticed it wasn't blown. Got to looking at the harness and it looks like it had gotten hot at one time. I scraped off some excess plastic and plugged the "bad" bulb in and it worked. Put the headlight back in and it went out again. Pulled it back up and wiggled the wire around and it now works.

The Piaa's I made sit forward about 1.5" compared to the stock ones, thus another reason I want to do the same with the new LED's.

I want to that so bad but I don't have the balls to possibly ruin the led ones lol. I might shove a matchbox projector in one or closeout h1s with an insane FG limiter

Drove it and nothing else

GP needs brakes but I can't just keep it simple and slap new pads and rotors on.

Tornado!

That thought is in the back of my head, but being that I did the Piaa's, I am comfortable doing this. Gonna head to the junk yard after work and get some tid-bits.

Camaro is getting towed to my grandma's because the ignition system doesn't recognize the key, the car is at a restaurant, they need to plow the lot dye to the snow storm and I've gotta work. Yay car stuff

Ordered some much needed R1 concept brakes today to finsh up the stop abibility of the car.....lol!

Got to the junkyard later than expected, so didn't have much time. Got a few doo-dads.....

Got a random miss so I did a compression check. While the plugs were out I decided to put my rear PLOG on. I was planning to do new plugs too. I'll do a new gasket for the rear valve cover gasket as I found some oil coming from one corner.
I'm putting on a ceramic coated cross over pipe so I'll have a completely ceramic coated exhaust at the engine.
