What did you guys do to your car today? I was bored so I converted

>>17652630
Put a new battery and vacuum hose in my bike. Runs like a dream now.

>>17652630
I finally got my license plate after almost 2 moths of South Carolina temporary tags. It was kinda fun having tags from so far away though.

sighed as the drivetrain finally pretty much gave out at 200k, and limped it over to the local scrap yard.

>>17652630
Save it for the friday thread, fag.

i just swapped my rear license plate lights with LEDs. right off the bat they dont really look good. kind of dim and slightly yellowish from the plastic housings theyre in.

>>17652630
>>17652651
Also nice fat mexican fingers, my man.

>>17652630
Installed new radio because who the hell uses cds?

Washed it.

But earlier this week I installed studs and spacers to make it look phat and make changing wheels easier.

BTW for the fags who will tell me that spacers are dangerous, they're not. good quality hub centric spacers on extended studs or bolts are the exact same as having the hub that wide in the first place

Next up:
Gearbox oil change and new clutchpack
Fixing the ignition problems, maybe going back to contact ignition.

I'm removing all my brake calipers to have them powdercoated and rebuilt. They probably didn't need it but they're 25 years old so it can't hurt, and powdercoated calipers calm my tisms.

went to flush my brake fluid only to find the old stuff was in ok condition

I got ricer parts today, but couldn't install due to rain. So I'll do it this weekend.

>>17652715
>Fixing the ignition problems,
Fixed it, there was a damaged connecter between the ignition coil and the controller.

Did a power steering fluid exchange. Gonna do it 2 more times and call it good.

Bought a Gibson exhaust for my Ranger, hopefully I can install it by Tuesday

God, I bought a Mustang a guy put one of those knobs on. Burning in the summer, freezing in the winter, reflected the sun in my face.

First repair I ever did to the car was swapping in an OE Cobra knob. Even before I got the brakes working properly.

Lapped the valves on Audi. Reassembled heads. Waiting on head gasket set.

>>17652650
Why scrap it? Even if it's a massive pile of shit I'm sure you could get $200 on Craigslist. That could have been a LeMons car you asshole.

>>17652650
I'm sorry for your loss.

Now I need to replace the rear sprocket, the leaking petrol tap and I´m basicly good to drive again.

Interestingly the cylinder and piston are as good as new although this little 2-stroke has several thousand kilometers on it and reved over 8000 rpm most of the time.

How is the C30? Almost bought one last year but the owner didn't know how to check the oil and there wasn't any in the engine. Ran fine and it was cheap, though.

>>17652630
I refreshed Fedex package tracking 400 times.

Fuel filter, ignition coil, distributor rotor, a new brake booster check valve, and a diff fill plug (because mine's kind of chewed up because lol BMW) get here tomorrow.

I'm also thinking about making a fuel swirl pot out of a TRE 255, some 10mm brass barb fittings, and a Nalgene. They're made of pretty thick polycarbonate, which is safe for use with gasoline.

>>17653677
I was looking at them used a few years ago but someone told me it was the vampire's car in Twilight so I avoided

>>17652630
Full tank of gas, topped off the oil a smidge, and checked my power steering fluid

Went to replace a taillight bulb and discovered the taillight gasket had been smothered in bathroom caulk and it was fucking everywhere

Just needs a custom dump now

Here's what it looked like with the stock twins

>>17652669
Except they're not.

>>17652907
Just do it in the garage anon, what are you dumb?

>>17653769
Couldn't resist, could ya?

Treated the leather (basically the entire interior except for the headliner and pillars)

Pain in the ass but it's necessary

Still more stress/weight on hubs/axles that are joined imperfectly. It will still wear your suspension out faster.

>>17653804
Kek
Getting a new clear cover soon, and red cam gears

>>17653791
I´m not >>17653769
Spacers do put a lot of stress on your bearings and suspension as a whole.

>>17653814
That will look good actually, post pics when done

>>17653677
basically a mk2 focus st. pretty good car but still fwd so expect torque steer on a stock C30

stay away from the automatics, they have heavily neutered torque in 1st gear and an overall weaker transmission

>>17653808
That's true, to a certain extent
The increase in stress/weight and the increase in wear on suspension parts, if any, would be minimal.

>>17653815
I run 20mm hub-centric spacers, have been for about 2 years now
I'm telling you, the adverse effects are as near as makes no difference

>>17652630
Ordered engine mounts
Hope they arrive till saturday

>>17653841
No such thing, a difference is a difference.

Went to the junkyard early and gutted a new cherokee before any filthy mexicans could get their grubby hands on it. I almost felt bad because I could tell they were there for the heads and they gave up because they didn't see a rear bolt way behind the valve cover that's a bitch to get to.

Came home and installed a new radiator fan and now I won't be frying my engine every trailrun, also burped the coolant and cleaned the radiator.Tommorow I plan to wire up new spotlights I bought from amazon.

cleaned off the contacts on my popups button assembly
they work semi-consistently now

>>17653751
noice what manifold are you running? Did a T3 quicksilver on my vvti 1jz

Plugs and wires for my GF's car and patched a exhaust leak. That's about it. She was making a big deal out of it. A monkey could do it. But most people don't even know how to change wiper blades. So im not surprised.

>>17652630

Eyyu. Same fag here except mine sis extra faggot.

>>17653861
So your telling me that running wheels with a lower offset would also make the same difference? Because the stresses are the same. Do you think manufacturers would run wider wheels than the base model at all if it made any measurable difference to the life of any suspension components or driveline components? Especially considering /o/ makes it out like your wheel bearings wear out in a manner of weeks and it's such a safety hazard that you may as well be Hitler?

No didn't think so. Think about the physics of it and you'll realise there is nothing wrong with spacers

>>17654284
Yes I think manufacturers would do that and idk wth you're talking about otherwise. He (or you idk) said it's the EXACT same which it clearly isn't.

>>17652630
Won't this shit burn in summer?
