Default What did you do to your car today?
Just wondering what you did to your car today? It' would be interesting to read about the little or big things you've done to your car that day.
Pictures would also be nice!

As for me i just got done washing it and now it's sprinkling
Also vacuumed the interior and armor all the dash and door panels as it was getting too dusty inside

Crappy cell phone pictures.







What are you guys up to with your cars?

Hopefully my new brake pads will come in today so i can slap them on and get rid of that horrible squeak. If not then i'm giving her a wash as well.

Denut-L, your car is coming together nicely! As for the question, I'm about to reinstall the rear calipers I painted yesterday and maybe start the prep work for my LS400 front brakes that came in today!

Thanks kyle
How much did you get the calipers for? post some pictures of your car when you're done with it and also how do you like them compared to the stock ones.

Pulled transmission, modified valve body to shift firmer, and then reinstalled it along with a new torque converter. Just another normal day for me
