doubtful... Some rags, carb cleaner, and a compressor with a nozzle??![]()
|
Dam the river. I don't have access to air compressors any greater than a manual basketball pump. Lol....hrmmmm.
Do you think the gas station would mind if I jacked my car up at their air pump? Lmao
Ok...so today I made one more pass before I was going to say some foul language and pay for a vac leak test...
I just want to say you people ROCK!!!
I found the loose connection on one of the sensors and my engine light is no longer on.
I also upgraded my air intake to a Fram ca9345. Its dry...and huge!!! All I had to do was take off the filter box and it fits right on the hose with the sensor in it. I wasn't sure what to so with te electrical stuff that is in the front Hal of the box so I'm leaving it until I can get a piece of plastic to form a "cover" if it will be a problem.
Yes!!!! I'm glad this experience is uphill.
I've been known to go crazy when I can't fix stuff haha. I do saltwater aquariums for a living, so I hope the extreme knowledge and husbandry will bleed into my new interest in not having a crappy car lmao.
Now that its in tip top shape again its time to start planning the fun stuff, time to start a brain storming thread and set up a photobucket. Its a stock gt from 04 all white so there are tons of possibilities. Tinted windows will be the first step after my sub is in place. Rims will be after I get hired on at Chrysler. Right now I'm doing everything just off my one man tanked business. There's not alot of rich aquarium enthusiasts here...they all like cars!!!
fish tanks are a lot of work for sure. salt being a ton of work. i had 5 fresh water tanks set up at one time, weekly vacuuming sucked for sure. i had the kids 10 gal, a 30 a 35, a 55, and a 125 all going at the same time.
my brother had a 125 high salt tank, that cost a arm and a leg to keep up, lots of testing, fish cost to much as well. as well as live rock and all that other cool stuff we all want in a salt tank lol he had it for maybe 5 years and sold it all off.
just like i did, some of my fish lasted over 10 years, they also got sold. when you got angle fish that their fins hit the bottom of the tank and the top of the water line, (125 long 18 inches tall) body's 5 inches round, and you bought them when quarter sized, theres 10 years plus of good water and food.
then my brother went nuts, and dug a 3 foot deep pond in the back yard, and made a koi pond.
this is it empty for a cleaning.
the fish in a kiddie pool. these all started out small, and grew this big. lost a few due to lighting strike, blew out the lights and pump as well.
some fry fish, born in the pond. he took them indoors in a tank to let them grow more, then put them back in the pond when they were larger.
left side is a water fall, it stays on year round, makes for some nice ice shots.
dog on frozen pond lol

Same thing in doing now! We bought our house in October so I'm just getting the pond started.
Saltwater can be expensive unless you are a mad scientist like me. I don't pay for all that expensive junk that can be built for dirt cheap, and my tank has a special chamber for food production. Maybe I'll put up a small thread on my system for ya...although I am a premium member on a fish tank site. Maybe I'll just link that to the thread for pics lol. Save me a few photobucket hours o uploads haha.
Ponds are a must if you have the space. Nothing beats the smell of a stagnant pond after a lighting storm! Haha. (I hope he learned to keep a backup next time lol)
the tree that got hit. its a top the wall the pond is at the base of.
the strike also took out a lot of electronics in the house, tv dvr stereo, fridge, phones, you name it, it got replaced.
talk about fried fish lol
