Post what you did to er and maybe even a picture to accompany it.

Today I just washed it and did a quick wax job. It was pretty dirty from about 5 commutes to work!

Installed some of my LED bulbs, then took some back out. Went with the Sylvania ZEVO for the reverse and rear running/brake. Left those in. Went with the amber ZEO for the rear signals and bought resistor harnesses. The bulb side of the harness is so loose in the housing it's not even funny. Couple that with nowhere really good to mount the resistor body behind the light and decided to keep the stock ones for now. Also got some standard Sylvania 921 LED's for the rear inside markers but they were terrible - just a red dot instead of lighting everything up. Need to get some different 921's.

I have some LED ones for the front's that have been waiting for the harnesses. Might play with those tomorrow and see if there's somewhere better to actually mount the resistors under the hood. It'd be nice if I could just install an electronic flasher relay like I did in my 99 and 02 Silverado's to cure the hyperflash. **** new cars and their BCM-controlled everything these days ?
I know DD is a bit pricey for some, but they work well.

How did you know your cat was bad, my girl has a metallic sound from underneath that also sounds like running water sometimes and hers has the same motor your Cruze has but on a sonic. Any and all info will help

That sounds like a transmission problem to me, low fluid. Does the water sound happen when you put it in gear? Or could be the AC

Speaking of which, blew a hose last night. Now, I'm fixing to take off, fix it, and get it home. Hopefully, AutoZone or the stealership is open.
Second time in 20K miles to replace the Water Outlet Housing. Last time, it was the coupler between the WOH and the Reservoir Hose.

Almost done replacing the WOH.

Between the attached picture of the code that tripped, just before replacing the Catalytic Converter, and replacing 2 other Upstream O2 Sensors.

Got a chuckle from that too. The seats sure. getting rid of the airbag for some fake-carbon covered flimsy wheel? That'll be fun when you wreck.

No need to be snipey here. To each his own. We all have done things others do not approve of, including me. Be constructive before destructive.

Thanks to you all for helping to keep the peace here. I need to come here to zen out sometimes, especially during the quarantine.

Stay Healthy all!

Hey, to all bumping gums, at least I actually wash my car. And I actually had the balls to do a seat swap AND fab the brackets, instead of just talking about it. Same with the wheel. I see HELLA people post up pictures of their car under the hood with some new expensive toy they got with no tune (that makes me chuckle, too), and an absolutely FILTHY dirt hole of an engine. Same with people with rims who aren't lowered. HELLA ugly. If you wanted a truck, get a truck. #thatwheelgaptho So bleh. :) (boom... haha). So we done with the trash talking? Because I am sure I can find plenty of things to ridicule mercilessly on your cars...

I just wanted to see what it would feel like. I am also going to get a 5 point harness in it, so airbag not really needed, and I was planning on retiring it soon to be track only... but nobody really asked. I have two project cars (both honda, both getting K-swapped and turbocharged. I want to hit 11s and eventually 10s in one of them). So, yeah. I race. I used to frequent Sac raceway, but lately I have been wanting to try autocross. So yeah... you guys got it out of your system? ;)

We should probably combine these two threads, no?

I was thinking the same. No point really in having two of the same lol

Thanks for the reply. They are actually two different things.

In simplest terms one you did some mods or something TO it and the other you went somewhere WITH it. There are many variations on that and in the narrowest terms they could mean the same thing. I had thought there were two with the same title. It seemed I had saw one in the diesel section, but it could have been my imagination. If enough want it combined then I'll come back around again.
This is the one I was talking about: What did you do to your Cruze today?

Perfect. I agree. They will be combined into the one in the general discussion area.

Thanks!
