What did you do to your CL today?

Seen this thread on many other forums so decided to start one here. So, in question.... what did you do to your CL today? Post it up yo!

Today...I torqued down the wheels and laughed at my front mud flaps cuz they're chewed up from being low

What about you?!

continue'd trying to troubleshoot why both my rear tires rub 65% of the time with the 18x10" setup. Going to try increasing spring preload and dremel out a little more of the rear bumper plastic support tomorrow and see if that helps Raising the car is not an option

Lol I usually start this thread in just about every forum im in, but somehow forgot to do it here.

Well I yanked out the 2nd run of 1/0 wire to sell it since I don't really need it anymore. Later on I may wash her(depending on weather forecast) and will go for a short drive later on to listen to the bass and piss off ppl.

50% chance of rain just like it has the past 2 days. I thought we were in the middle of a hurricane Sunday afternoon, the trees were bending pretty good here

Hopefully I'll get my subs back installed (long story, but had to pull them out yesterday due to me being stupid and not doing things the right way the first time), get the amps in and wired up, and get the 2nd battery in. Although now that I have the battery box made, I can really drive my Celica this week and wait till Friday night to swap the battery over. But in the last couple days, I've gotten 4 runs of 1/0 in the car (pain in the ass), and the new amp rack and battery box built. Should be interesting to see what kind of numbers it'll put up this weekend.

Anyone near Indianapolis, IN, please check the link in my sig for Slamology. Going to be a sick show this Saturday and Sunday.

They were relatively easy the cuts are a tad larger than the stock tails so you get some film to play with.the drivers side wen't on like cake but the second light gave me some difficulty it took me about 2 hours to complete both tails though.Very suprised on the output of light at nighttime they don't even look smoked.

I bought some spray stuff that cleans out the air circulation system of the car... My car had/has a small water leak somewhere, i can't find it.. and it makes my carpet on the driver's side wet when it rains.. under the pedals.

It stayed wet for a long time.. and the car would always be moist inside... especially when it was rly hot outside, and the moisture evaporated. It rly smelled bad... and when u put the AC on.. it was worse.

http://www.emzone.ca/Auto-OdorStop.html


It works really well. Sort-of like what they use at Acura dealers. You put your AC on, air to recirculating, power at max.. and put that can on the floor, passenger side. Press on it, and it releases a spray, that spray gets sucked through the recirculation and blown through the car, tackling odor i guess...

You can't be in the car when it happens, and u got to let it air out afterward.. But it worked wonders for my car!

I pulled my sub box out to paint, been meaning to do it for the past 2 years (not a big priority). Oh, found another vacuum leak. That is the second one I have found since boosting her in December. Every one I fix brings me that much closer to idling under 1k.

Yesterday i beat my buddies GSR one last time, he sold it today.

More yesterday than today, but it's all good. Fixed a rubbing issue with all the new wire, got the subs back in and started wiring up the amps. Still quite a bit of work to be done tonight though, mounting all the amps and getting everything up and playing and possibly do a little testing tonight.

keep cleaning the leather, which seems like I can do forever.

Still dealing with almost daily change from having the car set up for me and than switching for the baby. Which involves removing my sub to put the gigantic stroller in. Sure it's a serious pita but still worth it for the sound.

I've found I can use the stroller to move the sub... haha inginuity!

you the man! I have a lingering mildew smell that I believe is the same as yours that I can't fix with just regular scrubbing techniques and dilluted vinegar. I'm going to try this....so it eliminated your odors completely?

I didn't smell that stupid smell again... i guess it worked.. but only time will tell. I think its more than just a deodorant, it actually neutralizes odor.. and the good smell sticks really well!

Nothing. It's sitting in the yard in Arkansas with a bad wheel bearing while I'm in Mobile Alabama for 3+ months.

I got my motor to idle finally.

Just removed the plug on one of the unused vacuum lines and voila, no more low idle or stalling at red lights. The car fires right up too.
