What did you do with your Trans Am today?

**az gt eater** · 06-16-2011, 07:28 PM

160 thermostat, new hoses, coolant flush.

Just pick up a used pair of FRC's for $50 off ebay.

I'm going to have to fill in and paint 'em, but still

The foam, however, needs to be replaced and I may put some more heater hose on instead. It sorta springy and seals decently.

Sure. Just as much as a non-baffled.

Attempted to wash it and let it sit, but then forgot I had to go donate plasma today so... 80mi round trip drive. Wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't happen to run into a construction area with no detour when new tar was being put down -.-.... heard rocks and crap hitting the wheel well and god know what for a solid 2 miles. Suuuucked.

Hey Ant, your car looks great. I like the black rims w/chrome lip.

Fuel Rail Cover.

**KMdef9** · 06-17-2011, 06:14 AM

Took the cover off and sighed.

Forgot it got alittle dirty from last week, seriously debating paying someone to clean it for me. Have to pick someone up for a wedding later and the Jeep is on my shit list. Probably just needs quick detailer, but still not in the mood.

<- Lazy ( = wedding + now work today)

Am I the only person who thinks there car is never clean?

I swear gremlins come after me and laugh their evil asses off and see what else they can make me do.

That and the f'ing cats. They are obsessed with sitting on or near my car.

Took a nice 800 mile cruise on Sunday/ Monday to Carmichaels, PA and back to Kearny, NJ. Averaged 25mpg's doing 75-80 all the way out and back. Got "lobster-ized" on the way back, drove all 400 miles with the top down. Paying for it now, though.

Just turned 49,300 on my return. Going to HATE goin over 50K! Probably won't use the car much now til the TA Nats. Got my room reserved, just waiting for the Goodies from the show. Unless there are some nearby cruises to go to ( Staten Island, Wrong Island, eastern PA, etc.)

**JoshuaGrooms83** · 06-18-2011, 06:41 AM

finally sanded the SLP off and painted my Lid. NOw just need to find a good bird decal for it.

**Knight** · 06-18-2011, 08:06 AM

Tires balanced, right rear tire leak fixed. Putting some gas in it.

Not even close, I feel that way 2 hours after I attempt to clean it.

Got new shoes for the rear. Went from Sumitomos to Toyo Proxes R888 315-35/R17's. Now it's time to cut the grass, Happy Fathers Day all.

Fair enough, but yeah it was pretty cool. I found two pictures on the computer, and she traced them off the monitor once they were blown up, then measured the lid and put it on a bigger sheet of paper actual size, then just drew lightly and colored it with a paint marker. Looks sweet. Throw a clear coat spray over it and you're good to go!

Anybody know what I can use to fill in the Corvette on FRC's?

Bondo.

***SMWS6TA*** · 06-20-2011, 07:18 AM

will it hold up to the heat cycles or not crack over time?

Not if you mix it right...also heat shield tape should be used on the underside.

JB Weld might also work...I did some filling on my FAST 90 Intake and had it powdercoated.
