heh, I might start a thread on "peculiar" stuff that broke on my car, that you never hear of....probably from exhaust noise vibration lol

stock trans and body

old engine's still running in another guy's car with 230k+

Nice.


Well at the track. :) #3 .... Time slips to come.

Put a new radiator in, etc dropped 15*. Bought some Potenza S-04's to replace the 760's I had. Then my water pump decided to start leaking.

Well last Tuesday I had to pull over real quick because my fuel rail was leaking. (like it did on my way back from ASS, but significantly worse) Bolt fell out holding one side of the rail and it lifted up, spraying fuel, covering the entire engine bay. Lost 1/8 tank of fuel. Glad nothing ignited. Put new bolts I had on-hand in and aligned the rail properly and tightened.

Yesterday crossed the 250,000 mile mark.

Another new belt, last one i installed after the ac delete it kept squeaking. Fixed now. Belt was free, under warranty.

Installed a new oil sending unit for my oil gauge, last one was going bad, wouldnt read. Kept jumping to 60-80 psi, that also works now.


Back in good shape. :)

Decided to take my car to an allignment shop to get the front end fixed. Toe was off a little..

Had to replace my switchback turnsignal bulbs because one of them actually burnt out, literally started smoking in the socket.. I pulled it off and one of the four metal prongs was loose.. Any who, I got the new ones in and installed them yesterday. They were working fine until I was on my way home from work today and noticed the hyper flash on my right turns only.. Both left and right have load resistors installed as well so whats the problem?

I had that happen to me. It turned out either the soder joints on mine weren't holding, or i had the bulb not polarized. It'll still work, but after awhile it'll start smoking and start a hyper-flash.

The last set of bulbs one of them burned out and I got it replaced. The connection is a splice cap, no solder needed. So it can't be that..

I helped Sleepy repair his ghetto ass aftermarket sunroof where the frame snapped.

I actually hand washed my alero for the second time yesterday.

Yeah was not fun, fkin bracket broke. (God knows when...) just noticed it 2 days ago. Heres some pics... Whole driver side head liner was hanging down because of it.




That little black tab is the snapped bracket.




And the fix.




Little rigged but best we could do, and it works. Wont see it anyway. Now we just hangin out at his place. (Fisdads)

i had to put her up for sale :(

cuz I got bored tonight... and I was sick of tripping over it...

decided to keep my alero after all and just dump ass loads into it. first step, repairs. i need a downstream o2 sensor and LIMG.

Installed some grand am mirrors bought from PrimeAutoParts from Stitsville, Ontario for $47.96 total. They offer free shipping in Canada.

Custom outside temp. display
 

Didn't do this today, but I did sometime ago. Pictures should tell the story, if not - PM me :)











(Piggy backed off the wiper fuse which gets ONLY switch power)


(Sensor probe rests snug, but loosely on the inner side of the LF fender. I put 3 o-rings for anti-vibration against the windshield)

Nifty. Wiring could have been better but hey, still cool.

Haha, agreed! Maybe ill adjust it sometime when I have time :P

oh snap i need a water pump now. :) thank god i work at an auto parts store.
