What have you done to your car today?

[eiriksmil]

Haha, what else can you do with the stupid ads that keep popping up in your mail box

You missed a bit

LOL, a bit left yeah. All wavy and still rusty, but atleast straighter than it was. Oh, and colour is off and it's flat instead of glossy. Perfect

Started stripping the house carpet from the Datto. Realised it was bolted to the seat brackets by some foolish PO. So I began removing the seats.

I'm looking for some Evo Recaros at the mo for it so I may just leave the seats out if I can find some suitable seats soon.

Just gave the 4DR a oil change, it needed it due to the fact that sometimes when i pulled up at the lights the oil pressure light would come on and go off again, found it had less than a litre of oil in it, close call i know. Now have to wait till tuesday before i can finish the 3dr it needs the revese lights hooked up, correct radiator cap installed, reinstall the thermo switch (fan is currently hard wired) and bleed the brakes, all in one day

Both of them are EG civics

Finally figured out to spell 'the' by the end, eh?

Must have been typing while he was working.

Put on my magnaflow cat-back exhaust

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Hmm, 6.0 Goat eh?

Nice. But err, WHY have you not broken into the 12s???!?!?! You were that close too...

 

[Eric.]

Had both my 5 & TL washed. Forgot my TL wheels were more of a gun metal than a bronze.

Haha. The Si's front wheels really darken too. They aren't very easy to clean with the spokes getting wider near the rim, the caliper getting in the way, etc. Sure looks better even after a crappy cleaning job.

Heat soak started slowing me down. Once I get a tune tho... Still, aint too bad for a stock car with an outdated 4 speed automatic

I washed all the salt and grime off my car at the local touchless because it's about 30 degrees outside. But it took every lick of wax off my paint, and now it looks terrible. I always put a coat of show detailer on it after a wash to enhance the wax and protect it from the sun a bit more...but to no avail this time. The detailer hardly did anything because all the wax is gone. Damn it!

Now I'm going to have to struggle through a wax job in the cold. That's gonna be a workout. And I'm going to tough it out and wash it by hand like I've always done before. Screw that touchless thing; I don't care how cold it is.

 

[CDailey]

I took it for a nice long drive after I got my timing belt changed. So much better now.

Also took a 2 pics of it.

 

[Keef]

It needs murdered out.

 

[CDailey]

I needs money.

Also, I like the chrome trim around the windows.

I do want some black wheels though. That would look nice.

 

[buickgnx88]

Go with some Enkei RZ-5's, they look awesome on your car (at discounttire.com). Momo Corse S-Five's look nice also. If you want a multispoke design, try the Enkei J10 or Konig Afterburner.

I like it as is. I always liked those cars though...

All of those wheels look sweet. Thanks for the suggestions! 👍

The Enkei RZ-5 and Momo Corse S-Five look the best IMO.

 

[buickgnx88]

No problem! Glad to help. 👍

Damnit, I was cleaning the snow off the car today and I noticed I was missing a plug on my trunk, must have knocked it off while cleaning the snow but I couldn't find it anywhere in the driveway. So now I have a quarter sized hole on the top of my trunk for the time being.

 

[buickgnx88]

Just use some electrical tape.

 

[ND4SPD]

Just realized it snowed a good couple of inches in the past 2 hours. So I guess my trunk has a bunch of snow in it now....

My car is filthy after just 70 or so miles of driving, so today I pulled it into the garage and started a full detail on it. The entire thing will probably take 3 or 4 days because of the weather but today I did the following;

-Emptied interior of anything non factory
-Vacuumed interior completely
-Sprayed and scrubbed every fabric surface with AutoGlym Fabric Cleaner
-Dusted down the interior plastics
-Vacuumed car mats followed by a wash down with AG Fabric Cleaner
-Used AG Bumper Care to clean all black plastics within engine bay
-Wiped down every other bit of the engine bay, including shuts, catches and bonnet stay
-Cleaned headlights, daytime runners and rear lights

I think it's clean enough now, check out the teeny engine!


Tomorrow I'll wipe down all interior plastics and wax the interior body coloured dash strip with Meguairs Gold Class, then it's time to wash the wheels and exterior in the cold, much to the amusement of my neighbours.

What colour are your seats? I try not to wash my seats too often as it makes them look more worn out :-0
Good idea washing the interior though, No point cleaning the exterior in weather like this. I washed my car on friday and 4 hrs later it was dirty again and I was only driving on normal roads! Must be worse with a white car.

The seats are a black and white chequered pattern;


I don't usually wash them but they had gotten dirty recently with my new work boots so they needed doing. Doing the exterior is annoying because with the car being white you only have to drive up the road and it looks filthy again, let alone for 4 hours! I'll still be doing it tomorrow though, and I'll be topping up the wax too just to offer the paint a bit of extra protection for winter.

A guy I know drove his white 500 from Yorkshire to Gatwick;

 

[stumpydino]

so i finally found a place on my car flat enough for a camera mount, on the inside anyway on the windscreen, man its a pain to stick on, and even worse getting it off lol. just practicing with it at the mo, for decent weather and a decent car
i nearly bought a range rover...nearly
the guy really inflated the asking price so that put an end to that...and i was looking forward to it too, just wanted something for fun until the hybrid is finished

 

[Eric.]

I added what should be about 26fwhp with this GTP sticker. At least that's what Jordan said it should do, I'll have to dyno it soon to confirm. 👍

 

[Zmann42087]

Got my poor old BMW back up and running. Replaced a bent control arm (had a run-in with a curb) and swapped out the old control arm bushings for a set of E30 M3 offset bushings to increase caster. Next stop the alignment rack.

On to teh pics yo..

 

[TheBigMan045]

Have till wait till thursday till i can get money for new front brake pads, drove it a bit hard yesterday going to a surf beach and ran out of brakes coming down a hill, drove home without brakes along a really twisty road (25kph signposted corners) using the handbrake and engine braking it, normally takes a hour to get there, it took an hour and a half to get back, also need to readjust my rear drums as the self adjuster is knackered

 

[Azuremen]

Took off the underbody shielding on the Spyder because it kept picking up snow. Things weighed a good 20 pounds each with the ice that had frozen to them just from a bit of driving.
