Ive been on a few other forums for other cars Ive owned in the past. And we always had threads like this, which I thought was fun.
Anyhow, post up what you did to your car today (or whatever day is a today day) Include pics if you want...
Today I changed my valve cover gasket. The old was was cracked in half in numerous places. I cleaned up my engine bay a little bit, just took a rag and wiped down a bunch of dirty spots cuz I didn't have any degreaser. I also fixed the gap in my driver headlight. Now it actually points in the right direction and I can see the road!!! I didn't have my camera to take any pics, but I was planning on doing a shoot in the next few days when it gets a bit nicer out!
Infantry!!!
im about to go clean my egr and iac sensors cause the car has been revving up randomly the past day or two and its pissing me off
hopefully that fixes the problem
Planning on going out and taking the belt off so I can check and see if it's my alternator that's squeeking when I drive.
got new bolts for the upper engine bracket.
kicked the tire, and said i hate you....
Nothing, my back is too sore. But last week i bagged it.
Replaced the fuel tank in my buddys car, then lowered it and replaced a r/f wheel bearing. Then swapped the suspension of 2 others. Im tired.
I broke my shift linkage an hour away from home. Just one more problem that the car gives me. Messed up. First time I beat on it something breaks. I run 10psi on a stock neon with high miles and never had any problems. Everyone tells me "buy a chevy" but I think I learned my leason. and another thing. My other stock 5 speed neon smoked my z24. I thought that was messed up also.
Washed it to get it ready for skool tomorrow
changed my intake manifold and plenum gaskets, injector o-rings, egr valve, cleaned inside the manifold, and installed an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
took out my engine wiring harness and put in another one, so I'd have ABS. installed an Ion alt to starter cable.

Made it smell like french fries when I went to get lunch for everyone during work. Other than that it sat, and sits in parking lots all day...
My project car is happy in a climate controlled shop 120 miles away.
Put wheels/tires on it so it can be hauled away tomorrow... Goodbye 97 four door
Cleaned all the crap out of the back seat floor from a week of work (soda bottles/reciepts/tissues)

i checked my tire pressure. and refitted my rear bumper cover. then looked at the lowering springs in the trunk and all the poly urathane bushings there . and says screw it they can be done another day.
I drove it to work today, soon im gonna take it out to get lunch, and then later im going to drive it home. Maybe i'll stop and grab a few items so i can tinker with it later on.
I commuted to work and back, along with a shorter distance lunch break. I topped up the coolant before leaving in the morning, which was down nearly a quart. I checked the oil once she was warmed up, which still seems to have avoided mixing with the coolant so far. Mid morning, I took a picture under the hood for an audio/electronics thread.
