tuckdaddy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yesterday I installed new stainless lines, motul rbf600 fluid and hawk race compound front pads and hawk hps pads for the rear! This car stops on a dime. They're pretty loud but i can now get me a "brakes squeal because racecar" sticker! Also realized in the 16,800 miles I've put on the car I've driven the piss out of it so the stock tires were pretty shot. Today, I got some pilot super sports and just replaced the same size 215/45/17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificNWBuckeye Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Washed up three cars (Crown Vic, Taurus and friends 4-Runner), no time for pics cause we had to get ready to go see Chris Hardwick at Helium in Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificNWBuckeye Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Saw Star Trek for the second time, saw it in IMAX 3D this time, not a huge difference, but you could really notice it it a few spots. Great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Enjoying the latest junk the twin virus catchers have brought home from school. Mucinex is my friend this weekend. Both vehicles are relatively clean and can wait until next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxcustody Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Busy day Friday and Saturday. Friday morning I left my house at 345am to go to West VA to move my daughter in with my wife and I. She is 19 and kinda hit rock bottom, went down and packed her up and drove her back, we got home at about 830 pm Friday night. On Saturday spent the day just cleaning the interior of the car, it was bad. I used the total interior detailer and when I was done the towel was black.......it did a great job. Now that the interior is turned around need to work on the exterior. It is a 2003 dodge intrepid and is real bad shape. I will get some before pics and see how it goes. It has some scratches that I will not be able to fix, but I will do my best. I don't think the car has ever been cleaned properly, took it to a car wash yesterday just to knock the major stuff off, and it was really dirty. more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I had a basil cell removed from my ear this AM and took the day off. I did a quick 8 hour detail on the G8. First since September. Here are some HORRIBLE pics I took with my iPad. All I did was wash, clay, correct the surfaces facing up and put a coat of AQS on it. I'll do more when my RAM comes in in a couple of weeks! For now it's OK! Mongosg8 and MAYBEN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 30% chance of rain was made 100% by ME! Still happy I got it all cleaned up. It was BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I did a quick 8 hour detail on the G8. Funny how we think of 8 hours as quick when it comes to a detail, but it seems like weeks while at work! Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Funny how we think of 8 hours as quick when it comes to a detail, but it seems like weeks while at work! Right? I tried some new stuff out that made correcting about 3 times faster than usual and that was nice! Back 3-4 years ago I was OK with taking days to correct paint, but with a family now, I need FAST. But 8 hours only did the outside. Heck, I didn't even get to the door jams or wheels. I knew there was a chance of rain so I just wanted to get the big chunks off. lol MAYBEN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificNWBuckeye Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Just got back from our day out that started with seeing Fast & Furious 6! If you are a fan of the last few movies you will love this one. It would serve as a nice wrap-up of the series of movies, but then there is an extra scene that, if some reports can be believed will set up the first of the next three movies.

Captain Slow Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I pulled the driver's side wheels off of the G8 to scrub and seal the wheels including the barrels. I only did two because it started raining, again. This was after breaking a lug nut wrench trying to loosen the lugnuts. I then went to Menard's to get an 18" breaker bar and ended up changing check out lines three times due to "Price check!" I'll do the passenger side tomorrow AM unless it's raining. BTW I shouldn't have to stand on a breaker bar to loosen lug nuts, that's a good way to break studs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
