What have you done to your car today?

[SPhilli911]

Put an intake (Cobb Tuning) in because I like woosh woosh sounds I guess. Also because I've been dying to do anything that involves ripping things out and putting new things back in to my car (2015 Fiesta ST).

I sorta miss having a used car (04 WRX STI or 98 Impreza 2.5 RS) that broke all the time and needed work. New cars are so lame sometimes.

Ordered a set of front wheel spacers for the M3. Next up - camber plates.

Dodge Durango SXT 4.7 4X4: Replace all 8 coil packs along with the spark plugs, new air filter, new alternator, did complete brake job including the rotors, calipers and of course, the pads. Also did an oil change along with a radiator flush and fill. This was all done during the course of last month. Hopefully it'll be good enough to get through the winter months without any major break-downs. (knocks on wood) Damn brake job was around $1,000 in itself. (Of course I had to have slotted and drilled rotors. )

Replaced rear calipers and rotors on the winter beater LS400. Somehow the headunit backlight came back on!

Of course it did, the light goes out when you need a brake job...I thought everyone knew that

Switched out the water pump on the Ranger today. Now that I know where all the stupidly placed bracket bolts are, I could probably do it in 1/3 of the time.
I can't get my finger nails clean, but hey. It's fixed.

 

[kikie]

Winter tires!

 

[CarreraGT]

New head unit installed, wheel spacers arrived, camber plates ordered.

Oh and found a broken rear sway bar mount... Reinforcement kit ordered haha

I put the Saab through it's first MOT since I bought it a year ago, it flew through and only needed a tyre which I got replaced.
So next is a terraclean service and an ordinary service next month. After that the headlights need replacing (really badly oxidised) and then potentially a remap done by a Saab specialist Maptun. It will have 250bhp which is extremely tempting!!

I have just got my quarterly bonus from work and every single penny is going on the car

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Washed it and did a small photo shoot.

I once changed the front discs on my old Accord and then suddenly had an intermittent engine harness short that I couldn't diagnose that would kill all power. I never touched any wiring. I could never figure it out, so I pulled the engine to start my custom build and bought another car to daily!

Anyway, my RSX had been sitting for the last two months, after the transmission failure. The first month was just laziness; it was cold as hell out and I didn't care to work in it. Then when I did get to work, I kept running into other problems. I found the ultimate failure was a spider gear in the diff breaking. My guess is that the horribly bad passenger side engine mount was letting the half shaft move around too much, because I left the bad mount in when I finally got the car running about a week ago and was still getting a bad vibration when in reverse. New mounts all around now though, and it's running sweet again with a new/used transmission.

...bay really needs a cleaning.

I've seen these types of thread on other forums, and thought I could bring it here.

Basically, what have you done to your car today? Pictures are a big plus if you have any.

Sadly, I have nothing to post right now, so if anyone can get the ball rolling, please do!

(please don't post something like "I filled it with gas")

Put on new bc be type rollovers, new head lights, new fender, camber lot, new wood grain wheel and installed a wink mirror.

I see you went to AutoZone and bought one of those GT Grant steering wheels. Would've spent the money to fix the windshield, myself, but hey, that's just my opinion.

 

[Davis]

I think I put like $7k into my MINI before I ever bothered with the windshield.

Why do you have five mirrors?

Panoramic

Panoramic

Do they see out of the side windows?

 

[jon stancy]

Do they see out of the side windows?

Yea. I can see all around me...no blind spots.

 

[V0RT3X]

Ok, I was going to say, if they all face backwards, that's pretty dumb as you can see the entire back window with a standard rearview mirror.

Do you actually go racing on road courses with your car?

 

[Swagger897]

I remember seeing mirrors like those in Nascar '93... Been a while..

I don't race, I just like the mirror

 

[jon stancy]

I busted another oil pan today...

 

[CarreraGT]

Wheel spacers fitted

Changed the coolant in my car (yeah I know, not as glamourous at the stuff you guys are doing), I have no idea how long the previous stuff had been in there but it looked more water than antifreeze Pretty easy job, just turn the bleed valve, drain and refill. I was surprised at how little it needed, only about 2 litres.
