Did an oil change with 10w40 instead of 10w30/5w30 on my 189k mile vehicle. Oops. Lets see what happens with this. Oh, did I mention that its still winter here in New England? BeastPussy fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Feb 18, 2011 |

Promptly put 20 miles on it for no reason after I got it back from the body shop. Some dickhead passed and cut me off late at night on a two lane road, tore off the front bumper + plastics and tried to blame me. from this:      to this:   I'd like to thank his insurance company for footing the entire bill. I'd also like to thank Stoneham Motor Company Collision Center for their excellent work. Anybody looking for a body shop north of Boston should check them out. It took a little longer to get the car back than they or I originally expected but I picked it up today cleaned inside and out. My family has gone there for years with repair work and they're always done nothing but stellar work.

trying to do rear pads and rotors when 90% of the tools you didn't think you'd need are in your toolbox at work kinda sucks

if 1MZFEs are available for that cheap I should get one, rebuild it, tear out the old and tired one in my car and pop in the fresh one.

I don't go into many other parts of the city as often as I used to but that may change now that its the season for cycling. I enjoy playing with cars in city traffic for some reason.

changed my oil at work and found out several things due to the usefulness of lifts: -one of the rear wheel bearings is so shot that the wheel visibly wobbles when you grab it and shake. this probably explains the noise i've had for the last couple years and definitely explains the more recent tendency for the back to violently whip from side to side if i hit any sort of decent bump while turning. -power steering pump is leaking so the brand new rack I had put in a couple months ago was most likely not the problem. -after i got the rack installed and before i started my new job i took the car to sears for an alignment where they failed to undo the boot clips on the inner tie rods before aligning it. i now need two new inner boots because neither one is designed to be in two pieces and open to the elements. oh and the oil cap on top of the block doesn't sit tight anymore and that just plain irks me.

I'm not gonna die in a fiery 3 wheel car crash thanks to $50 and some free time at work. month old rotors that were, naturally, stuck on good and tight  new, quiet, tight, shiny  16 year old hub and the ABS tone wheel from the new hub. I don't have ABS so I just knocked it off with a hammer and ground down the seat it was on until things fit.

CornHolio posted:These were the bigger bolts, holding the carrier to the knuckle. The ones that hold the caliper to the carrier are smaller though I don't know their strength. You're imagining it wrong. When you go to stop or slow down, the weight of your entire car is attempting to continue forward and continue turning the wheels. Your car is attempting to rip its own brakes off every time you use them and those bolts are the only thing stopping that from happening.

replaced the old filler neck. no more giant gas puddles when i fill up from now on.  the power steerings been leaking like a bastard for the last two months. lately i've had to fill it up every 3-4 days but on thursday i had a day trip up to maine. it was empty in the morning so i filled it up before i left. 160 miles and 14 hours later it went bone dry as i pulled into my driveway. I had to fill it up today when i went on lunch at 3 in the afternoon and when i pulled the car into the shop to work on it at 6:15 half of it was gone.  the return line was the guilty party and as a result the right half of the engine bay and underbody were coated in atf.  i'm a cheap prick so I cut the steel line at the top and removed the rubber hose from the bottom and replaced it all with some 3/8" fuel injection hose since the return doesn't carry any pressure. we'll see how it goes.

DogDodger posted:Nicely done. I've hit three birds in flight, and all with the same car. The RS 4 has taken a strike on the windshield, one on the driver's mirror (which actually popped the glass loose), and this poor little guy. Guess the car likes poultry. drat. This one went off the front bumper and the first one I hit bounced off the windshield and over the car. I'll try for the mirror next time.
