Topic: What did you do to your car today?

[quadzilla]

Got a hitch installed so we can transport our bikes. Didn't take a picture because it is a hitch on a Corolla. There are better things to see on the internet.

Slowly starting to get onto some car stuff over the last week:
 - Gave the DTS it's first good wash of the season.
 - Fixed a parking lamp lens on the SLK that had separated from the assembly. Kinda odd, but I took the whole assembly inside, heated it up to totally remove the lens, and then cleaned everything up and re-sealed it...seems to be holding up OK since then.
- Fired up the T/A from it's winter slumber in a friends shop/barn and took it for a good ~hour blast up the escarpment. Then put it back into the shop for now...No parking and no time at home, so I'll leave it for another month or so.

Same.

Aston:
-Spring service, oil change, diff fluid
-Put on the exhaust/equal length headers/sport catalysts/engine tune
-Hand washed and took home

M5:
-Needed an alternator
-Repainted the front bumper that was gouged up and stone-chipped to heck
-Replaced a leaking power steering line
-Replaced a washer fluid line that was leaking (headlight washers)

Camry:
-Changed the oil and sent home to my dad's house

Porsche 911:
-Got the Porsche Classic radio installed
-Added factory remote keyless entry
-Now needs an oil change and then it can go home

Nothing here...it's been raining or very cold the last several days..

I thought I'd have the cars out by April 1....but nope

I need to tackle some minor rust repair on the Pilot.  A small spot has shown up on the black vertical window trim on one of the doors.  Another door had a paint chip right along the edge (door sometimes hits wall in the garage when being opened....don't ask).  Now the paint is bubbling around the chip.  I'm kicking myself for not addressing it sooner.  Looks like I'll be watching some YouTube rust repair tutorials

Put the summers on the Jag. Need to detail it, then take pics for possibly putting it on BAT / C&B. No bites with my rrocket quality photos

I'm thinking this must sound really good. Are you pleased with the results?

Oh c'mon. You know we are into that sort of things!

Yeah.... um..... aim higher.  That is one sexy beast - it should love the camera.

It's been raining non-stop here.  And was snowing.

Weather is very odd here.

Sunday might finally be nice...sort of.

Not today, but last Sunday. New rims and tires, and a set of Flyin' Miata sway bars.

I am, yeah. I think I'll have to get the exhaust valved because it's a little bit too loud for my liking at lower RPMs/idle. Sounds downright rowdy at WOT though, which is great. There's some fine tuning to be done but overall I do like it a lot.

Getting the Bimmer out of storage today.  Planning to rack up some serious mileage on it this season.

[Bubba]

Had a look at the Corolla's summer tires with my tire guy.  Date codes are 0612, but they have about 20,000 km on them.  Tread 7/32nds.  No cracks, look to be in good shape.  Tire guy says use them for one more summer.

Tire swap today.

My right side mirror is loose and flaps while driving. It appears the mirror adhesive is gone and is clinging on to whatever is left. Not sure if I can super glue it or replace the mirror assembly.

Tire swap on the BMW with new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ today.
Washed the winter wheels too before storing them.

On the fence if I should do another alignment or not. I did one when I got the car and car tracks straight, no issue. Winters show even wear too.... But on the other hand I always did a wheel alignment when installing new tires...

Lots of brake dust on the fronts, to the point where they still look dirty inside even after washing them thoroughly. Day and night compared to the rears which are clean. All wheels were about the same in the fall.

Might need to consider getting different pads next time if I get there with the car. The current pads are Textar with about 9K km on them so long way to go.
