What Did You Do To Your Car Today

[skeetsinternal]

Was always into cars. Oil changes and tune ups were simple. My first big job was installing Eibach lowering springs and new shocks and struts. After that I felt confident to do the big brake kits ie slotted rotors etc

Today i for my 7 i..

Copped some new tires for the rear (Sumitomo HTR Z5’s)

Replaced the infinity kappa sub i blew last night with a JL w3v3 12. The difference is night and day Musically the kappa sounded great and was a very tight, accurate sound, but didn’t hit hard at all. This JL though is turned down all the gains quite a bit and it still goes at least 3x harder than the infinity did

My car has a little front end shimmy on the highway. I ordered a new steering link and tie rods. Should be showing up tomorrow, hopefully i can install these over this christmas break.

Paid $90 for ATF service at a local transmission shop a couple days.

Paid about $60 for Power Steering Fluid service last week.

Did they do a complete transmission flush or just a drain & fill?

Thinking bout getting my brakes flushed, fluid looks like it hasn’t been changed in ages. Last thing I need is my master cylinder or brake line going out

Drain & Fill. There so much conflicting info online about whether it's safe to do an ATF Flush or not, I'm not taking any chances doing an ATF Flush. I'll always do a Drain & Fill.

My company car is gone so the Miata is my daily now. That wasn’t the plan, otherwise I would’ve bought a different car but whatever...

Put a new rear ducktail spoiler on it, getting headlights restored Thursday(previous owner fukked up the restore and they need a pro), tint in a month.

Will probably do Koni shocks/springs this summer.

After months of looking a finally found a grille (no company reproduces them) for my impala.
Hardest part to find .


Looked online in carpart.com and a impala wagon popped up with the grille and they only wanted 50 for it. Woke up this morning and called to see if they were opened and they were so i took my funky ass down there and it was better in person than I thought. Got that and all 4 hubcaps as spares and some chrome interior switch gear. I want to cop the seat but i dont have a truck atm.

Feels good brehs

Replaced my power steering pump this morning

Got a ported box built to the factory specs for my sub. Sounds just as good as my old previous sealed enclosure but pounds way harder and deeper now.

My sub is upside down because i wanted a more even weight distribution and didn’t realize how far off from center the sub was it was before installing it

How you nikkas learn how to work on cars?

i learned just from trial and error really. My old neighbor was into cars, so he would help me with the diagnostics. I was doing my own wrenching before the internet. Kids these days don’t know how good they got it lol

Facts. Internet even 10-15 years ago made shyt so easy. Cause there’s a forum for every car and someone is bound to have had the same problem as you.

Update on the transmission swap .

We ran outta time at the shop.The torque converter isnt seated or its the wrong one (it came with the transmission , no cost extra) so next weekend we gotta go through it to figure out if its the right one and seat it or just take off the torque converter and slap on another one

The hard part is done so i aint even trippin

I'll probably never be able to work on mine at this scale, but a month or so back I installed a remote starter and swapped all the lights for LEDs on my wife's truck. Crazy how modern cars are all mostly plug-and-play components these days.
