Title: What has your car been doing this winter?
Post by: DCEPTCN on February 04 2005, 12:44:48 PM
For those of us who have winter (fuck you, LA, Miami and Pkoenix guys!), what has yours been up to? Mine has been sitting under a cover waiting for spring being fired up every 4 or 5 days. Within the next month: new turbo, converter and possibly injectors.

Mines been busy popping freeze plugs...Well one freeze plug and that was in October...
Within the last month, I finally got my BLM numbers to where they should be..

I was missing a MAF screen and my FP was 5 lbs too low...
Other then that, it has been hitting the streets of ABQ daily...

My car's been not washed and collecting oxidation on the paint for the duration. Driven every day.

My cars been sitting in my redneck garage since the last accident. I have an exhaust leak too.

Sylvan, I'm not into stickers, expecially on cars, but that BUICK sticker on your quarter window looks sweet. I wanna copy your idea.

I got those stickers from these guys:

http://www.rjwmotorsports.com/store.php?crn=114&action=show&show_products_ mode=cat_click

They're the 'chrome' stickers that are almost mirror finish....ther e's those two 'BUICK' ones on the sides and the three shields logo on the top center of the windshield ....I was really happy with the quality of the stickers and all of them together ran me, like, a lousy $7 or something.

*edit* I forgot to mention that I'm not a big fan of stickers on cars, either- that's why I had to be certain that it turned out to be tasteful....I think it did.

Nice looking set of wheels, dude, and I also am not into graphics, but I really like the Buick emblems in the quarter windows.
That's a GN to be proud of.

....yeah from 20 feet or so! I took off the cover today to hit all the turbo bolts with PB Blaster for the impending swap and I'm disgusted with how my paint looks up close.

I got a schedule from the track at the Super Nationals last weekend (they had booth space) and it looks like they are having a big day in early May. badbay86gn will likely have his tuned into the 10's, which I'm excited about seeing....and I hope to scrape 11.9X's. It should be a lot of fun. I'll definitely keep you posted.

The GN has been hibernating in seclusion since August.  While I'm in town with her I'll probably do some spring cleaning...onl y to put her back in torpidity for another eight months or so.
