    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    Today I did a lot!
    -I pulled the entire rear brake assembly off the '91 SS! (hubs, knuckles and all)
    -Did the driver side valve cover gasket - that'd be the "harder" side
    -Switched over to my studless snow/WRX wheel setup. I haven't gotten around to painting them yet though. I'm going to get the Grimmspeed BBS gold wheel paint
    -I repainted my wiper arms matte black. That made a big difference.
    -Picked up some new grill clips at the dealership
    -Replaced the passenger side windshield wiper assembly because the bushings were worn out and it was smacking the bottom plastic piece of the windshield.

    May have bought another set of wheels.

    Rerouted the keyless wiring system in my car so that I don't keep hitting the box with my clutch foot, regreased clutch mechanism, reset ECU for crappy winter gas and colder starting temps.
    Prayed car didn't need spark plug change and went looking for my lost torx set (no Momo for me today).


    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! oh man, im so embarassed, haha there were creepy things under my seats dude, HAHA BUT IL HAVE YOU KNOW MOST OF IT WASNT FROM ME, lol, ive only had the car 6 months or so, i realized i bought it on 7-17-08, my baby

    If i swap out JUST the GT beam from my old bumper, can i attach that to the fog light bracket plastic thing, basically, swap out the beam only after taking off my bumper and reinstalling it. Will it take much time? I want my rustbucket looking good from the front at least.

    HER, and i dunno if its to late, but it took me hours to do mine dude, some of those bolts WOULD NOT COME OFF, i had to get help (from my dad LLLLLOLLLL)

    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    Finally installed the tweeters for my Boston SX60 Components in the front. It took a couple of hours of jerry-rigging but we managed to get them to fit into the stock tweeter holders and they work.

    I'm super stoked, no more woofer-only front sound.

    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    Ok, I'm having brake "issues" so I needed to bleed them (or so I thought) there is no pressure when you step on the brake, the pedal goes all the way to the floor, and the car doesn't really stop sorts slows, but not stop, SO work needed to be done and it was cold and snowing, I drove across town in my car that doesn't stop, with my bald tires, in the damn snow to my brothes house to use his garage,

    Bled the brakes, now its worse......

    Gonna try it again in the morning,

    Eh

    Re: What have you done to your car today?

    You might still have air in the system Liz... if the brakes are bled correctly and the master cylinder are working you should have good pressure.
    You need to bleed in a X-pattern, FR, RR, FL, RL.

    If I can get myself out of the apartment today I will be doing: swapping speakers and wing mirrors, installing 1 DIN pocket (thanks KAG) and my stock seatbelt buckles.

    Yeah, right!

    I finally played on the ice!!!!! Took it through a puddle that looked like it was filled with ice cubes, oh man the car took it well. Now it's covered in mud and ice grime and looks all sorts of cool! So sexy!

    Sorry for the butchered english, I'm excited here.

    I installed my projectors last weekend. Mounted up and retained the wiring for my red LED's in the corners. Mounted but haven't wired my white LED's that replaced the city lights. Hopefully will finish that wiring this weekend. I need to clean it out too...so much to do so little time.

    Took out the rear strut bar to put a huge box in the hatch... I'll put it on when the snow's gone, more flex equals more traction...
