[becksmerc]

and i did post about the cruise nights in the other events category on the gm tuner site

[Hobo1]

Oh I think remember that now!

[becksmerc]

^{they're a blast}

[Hobo1]

Might go and do some photos today, but its been so dang hot lately :/

[Hobo1]

Starting to debate on going back to stock tail lights and then just tinting them. The heat wave here is just dominating my aftermarket LED tails. The left side is fine, but the right side is leaking glue like crazy and will probably have to be torn apart and re-done. :/

So either that, or go back to stock and put in LED replacement OEM bulbs seeing the flasher is hooked up.

Photo of them leaking:

what type of glue did you use? what about that two part epoxy stuff?

[Hobo1]

No idea, my friend Jeff did everything, I should ask next time I see him. He said he can re-do it, just not sure when.

[Hobo1]

I was looking at my car this evening, and I am getting SUPER hyped about being lowered! I want to fast forward to that day now haha!

[Hobo1]

Ok, so I am going to wash the car probably today and clean the rims seeing I have a good lead on a way to clean them finally!

[becksmerc]

very nice

[Hobo1]

Well I tried the stuff, didn't work, at least against brake dust, the other stuff melts away :3

I will have to scrub them with hot water and dish soap, worked in the past kinda.

[Hobo1]

Don't worry! I'm still alive, just been busy, expect some photos eventually, my rims are awful right now...

[Ringo64]

my rims are awful right now...

They get dirty?

[Hobo1]

Well, the brake dust seems to glue itself to the plasti dip, they are so bad that I can't even scrub it off. So, off the wheels go and I am going to go back to my 95-99 Sunfire GT wheels I have in my garage

Then I will try and sell my 03-05 Cavalier LSS wheels to someone.

[Hobo1]

Also going back to stock lights in the near future, I miss the tinted look so I will be getting some stock lenses (already have the stock sockets and wires). After that, I will be doing this:

Either these for the bulbs,

OR

Either way, both are SMD leds, which from what I understand I VERY bright.

[Hobo1]

So folks, I will be re-doing these wheels. No more Plasti-Dip. I will be peeling that off and I am considering on doing them in a gunmetal. Thoughts?

[Hobo1]

MAJOR UPDATE GUYS AND GALS!

Took the plasti-dip off my wheels and my car is now sitting in the garage because the timing belt is really sounding bad. So that is getting replaced soon. At least I think its the timign chain. I can post a video if it helps. Its bad quality though.

[Ringo64]

Post a video of it, maybe someone can give you some additional help

[Hobo1]

I will do so later today!

[Hobo1]

Here ya guys go!

[becksmerc]

gun metal would look awesome also smds are very bright

[Hobo1]

Picking up the timing set, valve cover gasket and timing cover gasket Tuesday! I will take loads of photos for you guys

[Hobo1]

Well, as some of you know / heard, my timing chain is probably on its way out. I am picking up the parts today and tomorrow, replacing them! So expect neat photos

[Hobo1]

Parts are in the car, driving to my friend's house early and going to start tearing it apart! Two big issues will be a motor mount that is in the way and removal of the tensioner... but we are both pretty darn confident!
