I like those a lot still, car looks pretty *dang* good on them lowered. Of course, the GT500s look better but hey. That's a smokin' winter setup.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
i replaced the water pump, antifreeze, and belts--all in about 3 hours. Not bad but found another problem.
The front engine mount is toast...i didnt have a boat roller around. its the only thing left to buy.
Also, I have a serious oil leak on the back of the engine. It looks like a valve cover gasket, but cant tell without a lift. Its bad enough to prevent me from driving it to the mechanic.
My car is getting the first Xmas present this year....some new parts and a mechanic's day spa.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Had a good 'ol 1-on-1 session with the SE today. Oil change, new headlamps, replaced the side markers finally, and installed a front trans strut mount. The old mount was being held together by hopes and dreams.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Replaced the inner and outer tie rods yesterday. *fook* nightmare. Left outer was dried out and left inner I could take it out with my hand! Getting an alignment in a little while and I cannot wait for the handling difference!
Also getting the winter tires out and ready to swap out later.
Car is at 249914 miles right now so I should hi 250000 this weekend!

Never owned a vehicle with an e-brake before just a RWD tahoe. It is very different. My buddy actually has an autocross track in his yard that we used it was quite the experiencenos4blood70 wrote:Sounds like someone had fun snow drifting.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Latest news - my '92 passed its annual MOT inspection with flying colours. Only one 'advisory' - slight corrosion to the rear brake pipes.
Last week I treated it to a new set of Vredestein all-season tyres.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Put new wiper blades on and Repaired a couple wires going to my blower motor. Hopefully it helps with the intermittent issues.

Took photos of the '05 SE because 1) I ran it through the car wash and vacuumed it out yesterday and 2) the only photos I had were taken by the dealer.
