Changed out the extension housing seal on the transmission on mine this weekend along with treating her to a few quarts of redline mt85 and then went through and detailed the interior...my god I've never seen so much caked on grime on a steering wheel and shift knob in a used car....also changed out the rear diff fluid to redline

Had my craftsman torque wrench repaired free of charge at Sears. A spring that controls the ratcheting direction broke

Oye, I see that my G1W-C dash cam came in! Let's hope they gave me the right hardware to hard wire it properly.

darkphantom · 05-26-2015, 10:23 PM

Dude, invest in a clear-bra and don't worry about rocks

Had this stuff stacking up waiting for time. I took my long weekend and put in:
GTM oil pan (obviously oil change and filter)
Filtermag
fumoto drain valve
34 row oil cooler
hotchkis front sway
Goodrich SS brake lines
full brake line flush with motul.
Stillen brake cooling kit

Very happy to see my oil temp go down for a change ha ha. Also delighted with the sway bar and the SS brake lines were noticeable.

This morning, I'm backing out of my driveway and the neighbor kid (about 13) is standing there waiting for his dad to unlock their mid '90s Honda mini-van. I put down the window and ask him if he wants a ride to school (few blocks away). He says 'no' and get in the mini van.

Obviously not a car guy...

Or maybe he just knows not to take rides from strangers?

Was this the car you were in?

Received my earl ("oil" for you Northerners) cooler via FedEx today.

TexasZ34 · 05-27-2015, 06:55 PM

Finally did my oil change after a month of owning the car. I knew it was over due cause when I checked the oil was black.

I am about to do my first oil change as well. I word of advise for you, if you get the Mobil 1 in the 5 quart jug it is much cheaper than 6 one quart containers.

Test fit of my Moweraxle front plate. Looked pretty good. Didn't have the anti-seize though. And prefer no plate... but don't really want the hassle.
