andyb5 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Used my wife’s car to tow it out of the garage. First time it’s moved since last summer 😬 Her car had a more easily accessible rear tow hook than my Insight so it got tow duty. The stuck front pad was too much for my riding mower to overcome 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Recycling Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Today, I finally got around to giving my car a much-needed wash and wax. It was long overdue, and it feels great to see it shine again. I also checked the tire pressure and topped up the windshield washer fluid. Small tasks, but they make a big difference in how my car looks and performs. It's the little thingos that keep your ride in tp shape!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruecatinat Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Pulled the rear wheel off to find one very seized caliper on the wife's C30 - pads had turned white. Whoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vehicle business, once infamous for its ecological effect, is presently embracing a change in outlook towards reusing and reusing materials. Auto Recycling helps in diminishing the biological impression as well as contributes fundamentally to the protection of assets and the making of a roundabout economy. In this investigation, we dig into the fortunes of auto recycling, uncovering its ecological advantages, financial ramifications, and the mechanical advancements driving this extraordinary industry. Ah cool shit spam user, so London is just now using auto recyclers? Pretty behind the times, but good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT5M Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Put new tires on the comets. Tossed them on the s70 for a few events coming up. Forgot I have 7.5" comets, so will be removing them to remove the spacers from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives on a montain outside of EUGENE is a tent. Seriously, he works for AMERICORE and works on the mountains around there. We haven't had a chance to visit, but if I'm on that coast, I'll let you know. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 About a 6 hour drive from my house. I haven't seen the crew in a few years now, but might be time to do a reunion if someone is coming out to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Swapped out the MAF. Was passing a car on an onramp who brake checked me. Hit 21 PSI and then it acted like I had a misfire. Drive to work and back home the car sounded like a Subaru. All good now. Also painted my driver side wiper arm. Aftermarket and started to rust after 5 years. I got tired of looking at it. Stock Volvo one on the passenger side has no rust at all after 26 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Well, I take it back. I drove it today and it is not fixed. No vacuum leak as idle vacuum is correct. It acts like it lost a coil and is only running on 4 cylinders, but disconnecting each one made it worse, so they all have to be working. No codes. It did have a P0102 code when I checked it yesterday, so I swapped the MAF and it ran better. Code didn't come back. If I disconnect the MAF while idling, nothing changes. Plug it back in the car dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT5M Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Since the latest purchase thread is archived. These will go on the s70 eventually... $25/side on Rock auto for some 302's right now. I did drive it yesterday, meant to after I put the comets on it but never got a chance to since we've spent the last week or so in the Nicu with our new daughter. So good chance the brakes get shelved till I get some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
