I only put $20 gas in today maybe it'll go down. Now at $1.34L or $5.04Gallon!!! I think I'm gonna wash it today too...
 
They sure screw us Canadians on gas. $1.169/liter in Airdrie. Considering a refinery is 2.5 hours away. Oh well, it is what it is. I'll need to get to where I'm going.
 
Its $3.96 here where I live. But 30 mins. away in ft wayne (where I work) gas is .20 cheaper. Wtf!?!? I use premium so I have been paying 4.09. Sucks but o well.
 
OMG I finally get to post here again lol when Mat get's home from work in 2 hours we are going to give Phantom a much deserved bath inside and out!

Will update with pictures later.
 
$3.75 Here...almost seems like a bargain compared to what I've seen posted. Still freakin crazy.
 
3.49 here
 
$1.288/liter so that comes to $5.12/gal!
 
Ours is about 3.75 a gal but if we go 30 minutes into Burlington(bigger city) it's about 10-15 cents more.

Isn't the US gallon 3.78 liters? If so, it $4.87 gallon. Or have I been wrong for years?

ya it's 3.78, thats what I used to convert the $1.34L to $5.04gallon
 
Not sure if all walmarts are doing it, but if you put money on a gas card in walmart, it takes .10 off a gallon at the pump. Supposedly going to continue through christmas
 
Came back from hanging out with friends last night and saw this. A little less then 15K before it hits 100K

Yeah, same here in Georgia. Its a really great deal, the W-M just added a gas station and is in a price war with the other stations in the area. Its 10cents cheaper then others plus the 10cent gift card.

$3.39! was just $4.00 last week during the hurricane.
 
$3.79 a gallon here. I spend way to much money at Kroger, so I had .80 off a gallon - got it for $2.99 a gallon. 4x gas points on giftcards - so I buy giftcards for EVERYTHING.
 
Just went out and lopped off the resonator.... Then tomorrow morning I am gonna run down to the shop and make myself up a chunk of pipe...

2.5" or 3"??
 
Well the hubby is going to go pick up some seafoam and carb cleaner. I'm going to clean the TB and give the kids a smoke show, then a bath for Phantom. That way next week all we have to do is a simple oil change, in stead of smoke show, TB clean and oil change as next week is going to be pretty busy for us. Will upload a video of the smoke show later :biggrin:

Edited to add video's of seafoam treatment and smoke show. Please ignore commentary, I was having a mild heart attack during the entire process lmao

First video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ-tQ2Ch9hU&feature=youtu.be

Smoke show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLOP1r4E8sE&feature=youtu.be
 
I always fill up at the station that is less then a mile away from my house, its always .10 cheaper and not complaining lol
 
Made an attempt to fix rear de-froster grid lines that didn't work. 3-4 of them had breaks in the grid so I got a Frost Fighter kit. Won't know for sure until cold weather sets in, but figured I'd give it a shot. Will check with test light tomorrow after it's had 24 Hrs. to completely dry <fingers crossed>.
 
Took advantage of the low humidity today (finally) and gave the girl a well deserved deep cleaning, with a touch of polish. :thumbsup:

Can u pass inspection when you cut the res off?

Resonator just quiets the exhaust sound no emissions filtering. I've always passed inspection in PA with resonator delete.
 
TexazReece said:

Yea, As long as there is a cat and the exaust exits behind the pass compartment and past the vehicle body your cool... And I live in a county without emissions tests so as long as my check engine light isnt on and the cat it there I am all good.

BTW, I am a PA certified inspection mechanic...
 
The picture is kinda self explanatory but I hit 57,000 on the TB today... after I got home from university my mother borrowed my TB to pick up my younger brother. When she got home she said "Darling I think its time for you to get a new car; it has 57,000 miles you don't want it to start giving you problems..." my reply "mom" *shakes head*...............:rotfl:

Just changed the vent solenoid... Took a whole 5 minutes. Got the delco one for $27 at rockauto, no more SES... I hope...
 
swapped the transmission pan for the dorman one with drain plug + filter kit + tranny fluid

Seems smoother now.

Just a quick question concerning the quality of said oil pan? Is it a quality product ? Thanks

It is...
 
PS Fluid was a bit under the fill line so went to get more to top it off.

+1,

With this pan, the supplied drain plug has a copper gasket and tends to leak from what I read.

Use dorman 65270 nylon gasket. A little tight to screw onto the drain plug but it will fit.
 
Well I removed the washer fluid reservoir from the engine bay to make room for turbo in the spring (this is not something I want to do when I can't feel my hands because its going to be too cold then)

I cut the wiring to the pump and added "extension" wiring to connect it on the inside and wired it back up.
I am using a smaller interior mounted reservoir up under the glove box from summit racing.

washer reservoir free.
