What did you do to your car today? Thread

[TonyPajamaz]

Post up what you got accomplished on your car today!

I got my radio brackets in the mail this week, so I took apart my center console, installed the brackets and properly installed my deck, took a total of maybe 15 mins, but it needed to be done!

[Basil]

I sprayed my clutch pedal with silicone lube to (temporarily) eliminate the squeaking noise it produces due to moisture. Boy, do I need to get that checked out.

I actually did do something to my car today.

I unbolted the swaybar from the subframe, broke two bolts, unbolted the control arms, banged out the bushings, and removed the brakes and knuckles.

^ Productive day I'd say, I'm also glad to see people stay up as ridiculously late as I do haha!

[Nismoline]

Went and purchased a buffing kit to do my rims.

I'm debating on installing my deck today. I need to get a new wiring kit though, I don't want to just just electrical tape this time. Some of those heat shrink tubes would be fantastic. That, and my soldering gun is at my dads. Basil, there's something we can buy for our cars that repairs that squeek sir. It's relatively cheap, not sure what it's called though.

[TonyPajamaz]

Go get a clip from walmart or can tire, Cavalier is super common, you won't have to splice a thing!

[JayPe3]

Yes I will. You splice the wires from the decks plug to the wires from the stereo kit.
OEM Deck Plug clips into wiring kit from wally world, then you splice those wires with the ones from the Deck Plug that came with the aftermarket stereo.

[Nismoline]

if we get the weather we are supposed to this week. it will be all gone.

[JayPe3]

Like I said to Travis, I will be releasing the Si from her cage within hte next few weeks if this keeps up.
Then the fun begins.

Gave mine a well deserved washing and interior detail. The car goes into the body shop on April 3rd for a new paint job. Looking forward to see her in a new colour.

[Igor]

Ordered a replacement fog light housing as the glass on my old one shattered.

[jordisonjr]

Put my Subs, Amp, Deck, and Battery back in.
Just gotta put the HID ballasts back in, and then its basically ready to come out of storage.
Just gotta wait for the weather.

[BLACK_ST205]

Inserted my fingers between my fenders and tires lol, 4 fingers in the front and 3 in the back! Way to much wheel gap hopefully I get my coilovers tomorrow!

[benz88]

took the 50bolts off to take my drivers fender off. Then Sanded below the trim line with 40grit to get the rockerguard off.

[TonyPajamaz]

I went to Can Tire and got a new set of battery connectors, put the new positive one on and took back the ones that broke on me last weekend.
Also took pictures of my 16" summer tires so that I can sell them.

[El Dorifto]

For the S13, I picked up my Royal Purple 5w30 from the group buy, picked up my Pilot short throw shifter from Stefan (the old one from my white 240sx) and started to unbury all my old parts like 180sx drl's, Nismo boot kit, Nismo shift knob, Megan Racing hatch spoiler and some other old stuff for the new car

[Nismoline]

Now to just acquire the car good sir lol

[El Dorifto]

Tis' true now that the original one I wanted has been dropped in price since the owner now realizes its not a Ferrari haha. Hes got her in stoarage till month end I know that much. Will keep ya'll updated.

I got my car up on the stands and put away the dollies.  Cleaned up my front brake calipers and put new decals on.  Put on my new spacers and mounted my rims with the white lug nuts, looks good.  The spacers couldn't have fit better, hub centric and wheel centric.  They are a whoping 1.25 inches thick.  It pushed my tire out to the maxium, without sticking out beyond the top of the wheel well.  With the front done it's time to get to the back tires and new set Hawk racing brake pads I bought this winter.  One problem they don't fit............I emailed the seller many times prior to buying them and he assured me they would fit.....NOT.  I sent him an email saying they don't fit, just waiting for a reply.  Put on a new Nismo shifter knob on.  New spark plugs (Iridium 8's), new fuel filter, new air filters for intake.  I have a whole bunch of stuff to put back on my car that I got powder coated this winter, the stuff is either Metallic Green or Sun Gold.
Ryan (Bongrips) came over with his car, so we had to go for a cruise......sweet.

[NEPTUNE]

Took my sweet time cleaning my air flow meters today, hopefully that helps to smooth my idle. Was contemplating taking off my intake plenum today, got lazy lol

[JayPe3]

Get bongrips in on this bitch. He was funny.
I cleaned my second valve cover, and did some shopping for intake manifolds.
