What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[TorqueEffect]

Yeah that's what I meant. lol

Underestimated the amount of gas in the tank, basically got home on just fumes.

Perhaps you meant to say "overestimated"?

That happened to me, once. I didn't make it home that day. Stupid sending unit decided to go tits up during a Sunday drive. Thank goodness for AAA.

:car:

Drove it to and from work, first time I've done that in a long while.

Festiva is running again. Must've just needed more time to dry out after leaving the hood up in the rain on accident.

Topped up the coolant (was extremely low from when I had to fix the IAC coolant passthrough)
inflated the tires to 35PSI (would do 40, but I figured best compensate for the temperature) tires were down to 17psi, and one that was repaired a while back was down to 10.

Hubs on, shocks in, coolant lines back on, exhaust hooked up. Kyle is sifting and stripping unnecessary wires from an old harness while I get it ready to fish back in.

Got a little play in the front driver wheel bearings so I'm going to replace that while its up on stands.

(Last Saturday) Fiiiiiiiinally fixed my 93L, Vextiva, that had intermittent starting problems that eventually became "wouldn't start at all". Hadn't been running for about 20 months.

I didn't do anything to the car today. After one month of almost non-stop TLC to undo the effects of the original owner's neglect, it's nice to just get into a functioning vehicle and drive. So that's what I did. Mrs. Shin decided that I needed to go to the grocery store during my little jaunt.

Great! Sounds like you need a nice road trip to reward your hard work.

Have the Festiva one month today. Saw a Group 35 Interstate at Costco for a decent price and decided I'd treat the car to a new battery.

I walked past mine today a few times today... my pants may have brushed some of the dust off of it lol...

[ryanprins13]

Tomorrow, I'll own the car one month. In that time, I've done a few things.

Engine oil and filter
Transmission fluid drain and fill (fresh Dex/Merc)
Coolant drain and refill
Repaired non-functioning windscreen washer system
New windscreen wipers
New PCV valve and grommet
NOS Mazda dome lamp
New clutch & brake pedal pads
Owner's Manual sourced via the bay
New 155/80-R12 tires
New spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coil
New fuel filter
NOS Kia mud flaps
DashMat
New 9004 bulbs
New Sony AM/FM/CD/USB head unit and dash speakers
New (remanufactured) alternator

There's a few other minor bits and bobs on the car. And there's a parts box on the shelf with new LCAs, etc. for when I get around to those things.
