What did you do to your DSM today?

[eeeewidner]

nice valve cover. i tried to paint the hubby's letters white but i think i got too impatient when taking the tape of and it ran everywhere so now it's just all red. i will note, that when i took the valve cover off, i was surprised and quite tickled to see everything so clean. no sludge! yay Castrol -hugs bottle-

I will probably get bashed for this, try Vaseline instead of tape. After 15 mins or so just wipe it off. You won't get any streaking at all. I did that with a lot of my parts and they turned out flawless....

Who the hell would buy the Murderwagen? The SAFC, tires, and engine are worth more than the whole car! I always reckoned I'd be stuck with this beast. I kinda like it that way, plus, it just keeps, uh... working. Even the Illinois State Police don't know what to make of it. They think they've got a live one, then they just shake their head and send me on my way with a ticket.

You make me hate you. How come my damn 2G can't have an engine bay that rust free.

'cause you've got a 2G

[Dr Funkenstein]

Well, I finished my power steering pump installation today! But then I figured out I need a new radiator and my head gasket is blown.

 

[Ghostcrafter]

Just picked up and dropped off the engine crane at the garage. Going to pull out the engine this week and begin about a 6 month project of rebuilding the engine, front-end, and doing some massive upgrading and lightening.

 

[overboosted1g]

After weeks of neglect I dropped off my pistons and rods at the machine shop and finished porting everything I miss my car so much

 

[OneBad2L]

Today I cleaned. Went through 2 cans of brake cleaner and a can of engine degreaser along with a roll of shop towels. Finally have the engine bay ready for the block and turbo setup to get back together.

 

[lilrob2069]

well lets see i was driving down the road and tried to make a light blew the rear brake hose. Not so bad except i was doin 65 mph. and the light turned red with me still trying to stop. changed that out. went to bleed it and blew the main line out also. so replaced that. On one good note i got to tear the air cleaner can out next week will be swapping my stock pos 14b for a bastard ass 14b. so that was about it.

 

[GST98 PR]

Haha, I do the same thing, except after a good pull
I'm just glad that i'm not the only one that does that!

your right

what i did today was change the oil cap the old one was toasted and was letting oil out under the cap, but already fixed

 

[94_TSi]

Looked at my car and shook my head....

 

[JMiller]

Replaced TB shaft seals, found some boost leaks, broke 2 t-bolt clamps and found out my stock exhaust mani has a small crack right above the turbine inlet. Then it got dark.

 

[TSIMonsteR]

Installed a 7-blade Holset HX35 with the stock exhaust housing, bolted to a cheapo ebay T3 tubular header.

 

[rommel rojasgsx]

finally took my block and pistons to machine shop .

 

[turbotalon31]

Replaced my coolant temp. sensor hope it starts when cold now.

 

[alternativesurf]

Took out the entire interior.
Cleaned interior (incl. Steam cleaning the carpet)
Put interior back together

And only managed to have 2 screw left over...haha

 

[Limegrntaln]

Got my emissions test done. That passed, I also got my free package from Stock Interiors. The smog guy that did my car showed he his Jeep that Maaco painted. It was amazing for a $400 paint job, actually looked factory. clear coat and everything. I figured the wipers and door handles would be painted. Nothing, it was really painted well.

 

[Achelea]

Installed my door speakers, and still can't figure out how to get the wires in back to stay plugged in. (I had the radio out and if I touch the wires, the sound comes back. I think the connection is not too good at this point.)

 

[SpawnedX]

I broke the news to her that she is no longer my project.

 

[docb002000]

I got to drive her to work.......

 

[XiKeiyaZI]

I sat down and talked to mine, explained to her that I was going to do my best to not cause brain damage tomorrow.

IE - I'm getting Ostrich in tomorrow. I'm pretty damned good at soldering seeing as how I'm used to working with PC hardware.. I'm just so nervous. =/ Oh well. If shit goes downwards I'll figure something out.

Anyone wanna remote into my laptop and play with tunes with me tomorrow? ;D

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

installed new lower under dash panel, the previous retard had some sort glue all over it. Also replaced shift know from a worn out momo to OEM weighted leather wrapped.

Then I cleaned my interior out and conditioned my leather seats.

 

[EDM95]

Thought if it will ever see the road again one day.

[T is for TURBO]

Thought about it.
Specifically about how, had I saved the 25K I spent on it over the years, I would have a very decent down payment on a house. And would probably have some money in my bank account.

But I didn't, and I don't :/
