I kept my mind off things by doing my plugs, and I already had it all laid out to do, needed to drive that evening, turned out I did a proper job on my wrist, had corrective nerve surgery today ;-(

well there is a good story for the kiddo.

Went to the mall, came out to the driver side fender crushed in on the LGT. Hit and run.

Might be worth asking if they mall security has a video camera in that area. You might get lucky and catch the SOB.

Yup yup, did all that usual stuff. Was there for a few hours, cameras were not in the location of the hit and run (Macys Parking Garage @ Memorial City). I even proceeded to check out every single black vehicle at Memorial City to see if I can find my matching white paint

Whoever did it did not stick around. At least I have full coverage.

Figured out that the tapping sound my car was making at throttle tip was my cobb 3 port solenoid. Guess it makes that sound when it's cold
What a relief I just knew I had messed up my valve train

TheTallOne · 10-08-2012, 11:10 AM

Reinstalled Fmic piping and front bumper. New front fender liners, New head lights, ordered a few new interior parts. Resurfaced my floor mats.

Wagaru · 10-08-2012, 10:40 PM

swapped lug nuts to chrome ones to add just a touch of something to the wheels and swapped intakes with my wife. she wanted a stock airbox and had a cone filter

Put my rims on my car last night. Now I want more carbon fiber accents and a new set of coilovers...

Smokin' Joe · 10-13-2012, 12:22 PM

swapped stock brake pads for Hawk hps, bleed the fluid, and did some custom zip-tie stiching to the front bumper tears. After bedding in the brakes and letting them cool down, they definitely lock the wheel up much quicker!

OneBadPig · 10-15-2012, 01:59 AM

Ran into a buzzard. Hit the windshield, helluva noise but didnt crack the glass. Knocked my rearview mirror all crazy.
Drove to Irving. Ignored all the azzhats that thought we were racing.

Wagaru · 10-15-2012, 02:06 AM

Banged my head against the wall when I saw ntdemail's flywheel. No Emory cloth clean up for that one. Going for machining in the morning.

That was killer.

Boosted Up · 10-15-2012, 07:57 AM

Installed Cobb downpipe & AP. Me =

aggie113 · 10-15-2012, 12:12 PM

Filled up with e-85 after driving into Lubbock. Washed the car and detailed the wheels. Also found that discount tire had put the tread on the wrong way when they put a plug in it several thousand miles back! Fixed now, but hoping my diffs don't die an early death because of this.

Are the hawks really worth the money? Where did you buy them.

Smokin' Joe · 10-15-2012, 04:10 PM

I got them on sale from Fred Beans I believe (coupled the order to make it worth the shipping). To be honest, I haven't tracked them yet, and that is the major reason I finally installed them (had them for over a year, and the stock brakes just last forever...). I can't say about heat fade once they're on course, but they honestly seem to grab more quickly.

I needed new brakes at the time, but the dealership replaced stockers for free so I held off on the install. I'll give you an update once they have been put to the test

They don't squeal like harder pads though, so for street use they are great so far. Longevity will be something to ask a member who has used them for awhile though.
