What did you do to your vehicle today?

[ATL]

Just got a new catback installed on my car The XLR8 catback sounds amazing! a tad bit too loud though but I think it will tone down a bit after the initial break in

I've heard so/so things about the KW v1and heard the V2s are amazing. I only ball hard enough for v1 if that, so hope I made the right choice.

Yes to save weight, it is best to just cherry pick the ones you need eg for BMW the common ones are metric 8,10,12,15,19 the last for tire lugs... for my car kit, I find having a magnetic tray is important when in an emergency, also a 2' breaker bar, stubby Phillips for radiator, pick for hoses spring clamps.

Oh and about these newer non Maximum Mastercraft sets, they are a PITA when it comes to warranty. You have to bring the whole set in + receipt even if you are changing 1 broken bit.

At least with Stanley you can go to CT and/or Dewalt repair center on Boundary to complain / replace.

This Stanely $80 set with cabinet and tool chest is way better deal than the Mastercraft one.

I lose so many of my sockets out of my generic Mastercraft collection that I don't even bother replacing cracked ones. I just chuck 'em and buy a new one. They're cheap enough. I do agree that it's getting harder to simply replace just one piece now. Had an issue with an old ratchet from one of my sets and tried to exchange it for another. I still had the receipt but it had faded into oblivion, of course. Took almost twenty minutes of arguing before they got me a new ratchet, and I think that was just due to them not wanting to deal with me anymore.

[fliptuner]

That's odd. Only reason it's ever taken more than 5 minutes to replace Mastercraft branded tools, for me, was because the salesman had to find the actual tool. I never bring receipts in either.

[Akinari]

Waxed/repolished my car because forgot to tell Richmond Honda to not drive my car through their car scratcher after I had my brake fluid and starter changed.

Sounds like a completely different car when cranking now

[underscore]

Insured it, fired it up and drove it for the first time since March 2012.



annnnnnnd the passenger ebrake is making noise, so I get to tear it apart tomorrow night.

[ForeverYours]

Just washed my car...

Will be doing some major prep work tomorrow if I have time

[TjAlmeida]

Had it towed home, tow truck damaged my front bumper. And I think the remanufactured steering gear box I bought is no good.



Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck sakes

^ You have terrible luck. Was it towed on a flatbed or with 2 wheels on the ground?

Seems that way eh. The tow was free though. BCAA said they would give me a call tomorrow about the bumper damage.

2 wheels on the ground, Drive shaft disconnected.

Crossing my fingers it is just a defective steering gear box and i will be on the road for the Thursday meet tomorrow.

[dared3vil0]

Atleast the drive shaft was disconnected so no transfer case damage... Now THAT would suck.

[Phil@rise]

Started polishing up the heavily oxidized paint and stripped the interior of the spitfire to make room for fresh carpet stereo and miata seats

[Atlantis]

didnt do much to the FR-S but did order some parts.

STANCE Super Sport Coilovers (Ordered)
SSR Professor SP1R 17x9 front, 17x10 rear (Ordered)
Rocketbunny Version 2.0 (On Order)

[underscore]

Tore apart the passenger rear brakes, fixed the problem, took it for a drive for the first time since March 2012.

BEST DAY EVER

[TRD Rs200]

GPS finally in and working

[metal]

Did my first wash with Optimum No Rinse today, and got new oil, tranny and diff fluids.

[Lomac]

Custom fabricated a new clutch.

Spoiler!

No, that's not actually mine

Who can spot the potential hazard? lol

[underscore]

Got an alignment, washed it, ran through a bunch of the old gas and topped it back up. Boosted to 7psi, waiting for the second clean tank to hit full boost.

Unfortunately no, I can drive it a bit but it's making a noise under any moderate to heavy right turn.

[artmotion]

Finally lowered it

[JoshuaWong]

LOL don't know if this is a good idea...
