Re: what did you do to your car today?

parked it in my girlfriends heated garage for the evening and overnight thats going to fix my frozen summer floor mats that have ice under the pedals from snow that melts (i bought winter ones but they suck because they slide.. and i dont have 40 bucks for good quality ones). itll be nice to get in a warm car today... the temp dropped to -30c with windchill in montreal

as long as you did not design the auto transmission, you are fine with us

drove the car for an hour for the engine to warm-up a little...
-8F (-22C) here east to montreal...
Engine oil never got more than 150F... and water temp gauge went down in 20 sec coasting at 50mph...

Re: what did you do to your car today?

The driver side exterior door handle had a nut come loose and fall off of it's stud. I fished the nut out from the bottom of the door and reinstalled it.
The driver side seat belt latch has been not wanting to fasten. I used the compressor to blow out the crud and then lubed it with Tri-Flow. Works great now!
All of the dome lights died. Factory Toshiba 8 Watt bulbs **** the bed. I replaced those with 10 Watt from Walmart and damn are they expensive!
$6 for two bulbs!!!

Re: what did you do to your car today?

I wanted to get a steel oem rim to replace my bent front left (Driver side) Rim

So I went to the junk yard and found me one .. They gave a good deal on it
when I went to install it I found out that it was 14 and not 15 I have EX and maybe thats why...


My next project is the Transmission Cooler and filter..

Re: what did you do to your car today?

Charged my Optima yellow top, replaced my alternator, replaced the alternator/AC belt, and replaced the power steering belt.

Driving home from school last night, left the parking garage with my VAFC-II reading 11.1-11.3 volts. By the time I got home, I had no exterior lights, no instrumentation other than RPMs and voltage on my VAFC-II, which was cutting in and out, reading 8.0-8.2 volts, and even my AEM wideband gauge with no power. I wonder how she even got home.

Re: what did you do to your car today?

new one works fine. I had the problems Wednesday night, dumbass me figured it was maintaining voltage, albeit low, and drove to school Thursday. I really had no other way to get to school though. I didn't get to ripping apart my engine bay until last night, and got the new parts and installed them today.

In Ottawa gas is $1.15

I was reading sticker that told me 25 cents a litre + 13% tax goes to the government ... gas really only costs around 90 cents a litre. I WISH. I hate taxes.

Taxes here are over $0.50 a liter I think, I don't pay much attention. Gas taxes are actually a pretty accurate way of levying road maintenance since it proportionally charges individuals based on their usage.
