Not my car but similar. It has different modes like street, track 1 & 2. Street mode will show you speed, rpm, gear, turn signal, and radio stuff. Track 1 & 2 has analog or digital speed mode with rpm, g-force display, and lot of different stuff you can cycle through like oil temp, pressure, and fuel. It's neat to play around with and see how high you can get the g-meter to display during turns.

Is that a Vette?

yes

All I did was wash the car.

 

[reallyscrued]

Need to do wheel bearing on my Civic Si.

Got a thump-thump-thump when taking turns.

 

[TraumaRN]

Washed...detailed engine bay, detailed interior, cleaned all windows, mirrors, door jambs everything....

Looks a million times better now

 

[reallyscrued]

Fucking clean, man.
Not my cup of tea, but nice.

 

[Rifter]

I did the front brakes on my 88 CRX Si, cheapest rotors possible and Hawk HP+ pads.

I also took my brothers 89 Mustang through emmissions testing today, had to put back on the stock H pipe with the CAT's and it passed no problem, i was surprised.

Nothing too exciting, sorry no pics didnt know there was going to be a thread about it

 

[joutlaw]

Well I topped off my rad... it was around 1/2 gallon low... unfortunately I can't find the leak and it didn't run hot again.

On a good note I did see where the VTEC solenoid was leaking oil... Now if I can just find the gasket.

Edit: found the gasket for around $18.xx at the dealer.

Putting a thermostat in a 1976 volkswagen beetle

You should have gone with changing the coolant. Aircooleds actually have a thermostat.

And that's what the one on my beetle looks like.

I got sidetracked Did get the u joints out of the Datsun. I might try to get to the light plant again today.

I thought he was serious about that one:\ When Cali. first started the emissions program several VW's came in to the shop that needed to have the thermostat, linkage, and tin work put in to pass. First time I ever pulled a VW motor. I never understood why you would take that stuff out in the first place:hmm:

Looks like an engine and trans oil change today. It's gorgeous outside.

 

[BW86]

replacing my ripped diverter valve with a billet one and changing my 2 piece headlights to 1 piece s4 xenon headlights

car = '99 audi a4

 

[ViviTheMage]

replaced stock deck in 05 grand cherokee, with another stock deck that had 6 disc inter changer...doing all 4 rotors/pads tomorrow, as well as the plugs.

 

[thescreensavers]

I removed my side view mirrors and front grill, getting them painted.

 

[CraigRT]

Not much today, swapped tail lights on my car, changed a shitty wiper arm for a cleaner one from the wreckers.

Weekend:

Wash and clean extensively both my Saturn and the Maxima.
Gonna change some dash light bulbs in the Maxima (2 burnt)
Rear brakes on a 2WD Blazer (rear disc)
Installing coilovers in a Sunfire coupe

I wish there were more, but that's it.

All the other work that needs to be done on my cars (minus big jobs on my Saturn) are done for the time being.

I love a good weekend wrench-a-thon.

 

[skyking]

Got the oil changed on the cummins, all 10 quarts of it
I have the truck in a shop getting those ball joints done, and some tire work. I finished up the Onan with new plugs and an extended test run.

 

[The J]

Put new swaybar links on the Escape this past Sunday. Definitely much less body roll now with the Moog links in there.

Though the new links didn't seem to take care of the rattling/clunking from the front end over bumps, so I'll probably just let the nearby shop figure it out.

Did you check the swaybar bushings?

 

[EightySix Four]

Did an overall check today, going to replace pads for something with a little more bite and a little less squeak than the stockers. Going to have it detailed tomorrow (yes I'm lazy). Then I'm going to start preparing to take the motor out for the new rods, pistons, springs, lifters, and rockers in the next week or two. All in preparation to swap in a new turbo when I return from Beijing in August. Will be good for 8k rpm and 450-500whp.

 

[HarryLui]

Got my Daytona Shelby running.

[Imported]

Did most of my recent wrenching a few weekends ago..

New calipers, rotors, and coilovers. This weekend will be a small detail and maybe changing out my fog light and head light bulbs.

 

[exdeath]

Up and coming, not looking forward to it:

The alternative:

 

[skyking]
