Parked mine in the garage.

Failed smog, emissions too high. Could have something to do with cyl 2 and 4 misfires.

Need to start working on it here in the next few days

they do an actual measurement? here they just plug into the computer. start with codes instead of blindly changing parts.

Those are the codes I pulled prior to smog which I cleared but they came back during test.

I think its a good time to bump this up since its been kind of dead here.

Post what you did to your car most recently and feel free to attach pictures.


I haven't done much to mine in some time but hopefully soon.

What brand tires do you have? And do you put anything in your trunk to add weight to help with traction?

Started an hidden AirTag experiment for better chance of theft recovery in both of my cars.

It is cool that now I can see exactly where they are on my phone at all times///

For now I got cat killers tires on ( China brand ) but fresh set of DELINTE tires for summer and ps4s 225/40/18 255/35/18 for the 2pcs sitting in the garage
don’t really drive the c43s in bad weather so keep the trunk empty,

Crawled under and replaced the broken glass on a fog light. Thankfully I had a box of them from the several front bumpers I've been through. The one I have now is in really sad shape but sadly I don't think it's going to be possible to find another one.

Replaced front flex disc. Was thankfully able to get my impact wrench above the exhaust and bust those loose.

More suspension parts on the way as I slowly completely rebuild all of it. My biggest fear is doing the subframe/diff bushings. I may hire a shop for that one.

I replaced a battery with a brand new unit and got to start up my car after a few months of sitting.

After having issues with my car where it would lock the tires when I turned. Turned out to be a bad wheel alignment. Went to a more reputable place and they said the other people really messed up the alignment.

didn’t do that today but thought I post anyway…

Totally disgusted by the work done from so called qualified technicians. Happy you seem to have solved the problem, even though the blocking of a wheel seems a bit extreme for a faulty wheel alignment

right after I got the first alignment and left the parking lot the wheels locked when I made a turn. Went back they said it wasn’t due because of their work. But second place said they over did the adjustment just so
my car wouldn’t pull left.

after the second place did the work we plugged the sensors back in and car has not locked the wheels.
