What you done to your yank today?

[chryslerben]

Yep the English is poor but the basics are there, as it seems the same names pop up in this forum on a regular basis I thought it might be worth giving this a try and seeing if we can get some regular updates on a few of the awesome cars that appear on here.


So what have I done today? Well it was more yesterday but assessed how much work this pt cruiser I bought is gonna need for mot, its not looking to bad brake skim, set of poly bushes to replace the split ones on the front and a set of wiper blades should do it. Oh and get the bloody thing out of limp mode :lol:

All i did was look at it wishing it wasnt pouring for freezing cold rain...

Counting down to the summer already

[OLDS]

I drove mine to work, then I drove it home.

[fourpointsixgt]

went to the monthly Krispy Kreme meet at the Trafford Center (not today, but Sunday) not as good a turnout as last month, but still worth it.

[Todzilla]

Just ordered the last of the bits I need to completely overhaul the braking throughout the car and also a few bushes for the front end... Getting ready for some Summer cruising – i'm in Sydney by the way...

There was quite a speed difference between the fastest and slowest cars.

A couple of vids to go with the photos.

Fitted a new bonnet (hood?) gas strut. Five minute job but very satisfying.

Threw a new carb on mine at the weekend. Much to my surprise it started pretty much straight away, once the float chambers filled with fuel: http://youtu.be/Oh3MQ9vNceU

Since ordered a calibration kit to set it up, which I'm looking forward to doing this weekend.

[buick350]

sounds mean, Vacuum secondaries dont usually open when car stationary, are they mechanical secondaries?
does the double pumper carb produce much more power than V. secondaries?

[OLDS]

Never had an Edelbrock but secondaries are mechanical. The air door, on top, is vacuum and very adjustable. On a proper Quadrajet, the air doors won't open when cold.

Nice car. I have a 68 project car myself. Original 350/Powerglide, but i have a 400/400 combo for it.

Drove it to work and back, same as most days...

[bob1179]

I've been using mine daily, averaging 10 mpg around town at the moment!

My new centre console and looms arrived in the post from the States and I have a new head unit, speakers, wiring and a cubby to replace the original stereo. Should keep me busy.

Last week I fitted a new aerial (bought from Halfords and meant for a Ford!).

[chevy-stu]

Just had 3.42 rear gears finally fitted to my Camaro. . Picks up speed a lot better now compared to the old 2.56 original set. .. gearbox is suddenly usable and can get into 5th below 70mph

If I'm honest I'm a bit nervous of the width restrictions and narrow tunnels.

I know, gay as anything.

I guess I could always avoid Rotherhithe
