What did you do to your car today?

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

If the question is for me, I've never gotten codes when the ICM was marginal, or totally failed in either the '92 SSE or the '05 SE. - BC

Neither did I actually. I finally got codes when my bad coil failed completely and the missing was significant.

Well I can't say I did anything to my car today (besides drive it!), but about a week ago I painted the calipers red and installed new Moog Polyurethane sway bar end links...

Drove it into a closed dealers lot to compare it with all the new cars to see all the features a 20 year old car has that the new $45,000 ones don't have.
I just might not trade it in this Spring.......running like a dream right now!

Who needs blind spot monitoring, back-up camera, and park assist?!

The traction control magically began working again...............so I promptly turned it off!

Happy to hear it. :) :)


I drained and refilled my radiator. In the process I broke the hose clamp and used one from Bonny. You don't get a full 2 gallons of diluted coolant in after you drain it. I got a full gallon of 100% Prestone in and the about 3qtrs of a gallon of distilled water. The drainoff had some orange in it. I definetly would have liked to do the full flush. It took me two hours so I'm glad I wasn't blocing the parking lot the whole time.

No more hose worries for now and clean quality antifreeze for winter

Replaced 2 white 880 fog lite halogen fog lite bulbs with 2 880 Hyper Yellow Halogen Fog Light bulbs, and replaced 2 LED back-up lamps with 2 3157 Xenon Crystal White 6000K 50 SMD LED Bulbs. The driver side LED back-up lamp worked most of the time, I need it to work all the time. - BC

Another full tank of 93 down the tubes, put in my winter mats, clayed, sealed, and waxed this weekend... Aimed my fog lights... Hmmm. I think that about covers it.

Changed to "winter mode". Not that it's nessecary here in Virginia seeing how typical snowfall is maybe a few inches total for the year. But since the GT500 wheels had summer rubber and I still have my old TSW's with barely used Continental DWS tires I figured I'd save the summer tires for next season.

I immediately missed the GT500 wheels. These had just been washed and then mounted and in this light they actually don't look bad, But oof...
