mines consistently been that hot the last few days too!

OT I got Stiglitz a new T-stat. Hopefully he gets his new temp soon!

 

I put the rad stuff on last summer, I'm going to put on the firewall, wiper cowl, maybe the W/W fluid bottle.

 

Mines still sitting in the box here. I will be tearing off the front bumper to install the heat exchanger for the Supercharger I am installing. So I want to wait on that being done.

I bought those other pieces as well, I have the one that goes at the front plate, I bought the one piece one for without a front plate. I have a Motorized flip up front plate. Not sure if I want to use that mirror piece tho, it does not fully cover that black center piece as it Should. Not so sure I like the half n half look it gives that way. Undecided on that one.

The bulk of the polished or mirror polished stuff does looks Nice, thats why I bought most all of it for mine, just that one licence piece, I was about to stick it on and noticed it did not cover all of the black center piece so mine is sitting in the box with the rad. cover.

I am passing on the WW cover, as the way it is made, it is cut to fit around the OEM air box. You replace that and there is a gapping uncovered side showing, just in case your thinking of upgrading your filter.

I have the K&N on mine, and that will be gone once the Blower is installed. The Firewall one is also cut to Fit around the OEM air filter, so I will just cut my own later. If you replace the oem it has a big knotch cut out of it for that stock piece.

I'll be getting some engine parts Powdercoated over the Winter. And just keep the washer bottle Clean.

Your HHR is looking Good.

 

I got in the car (in Massachusetts) and went for a ride.

The media doesn't call it "Global Warming" any more. Now it's called "Climate Change".

We all thought the movie Waterworld was silly. A planet Earth with melted ice caps. Preposterous!

This isn't a baking in the sun pic. It stayed 104°-103° throughout the 10+ mile ride.



The car can stay in the garage for the rest of the day while I watch DVR episodes of House in the 76° um, house.

 

drove it home.

swear I saw a sherbert orange HHR. no not SOM.. it looked shebert..

 

DIC read 111 degrees today...... That wasn't engine temp as it warmed up either.


Funny you mentioned "Waterworld" That's the last movie I ever went to in the theater. Most people didn't "get it" then.... They don't "get it" now.

 

I'm glad I live in Florida, it only got up to 85 here today....not to mention we don't have front license plates.

 

I can finally post in this thread. I got one of the front wheel bearings replaced!! I am ecstatic that A) I no longer have a roaring noise B) That my choice in tires is everything I expected it to be and C) While I may not work on vehicles anymore, my ability to diagnose hasn't waivered!

 

Got tired of things sliding around when I had the rear seat folded down cut out some pieces of outdoor carpeting and velcroed them to the back of the seats we'll see how it works out the next time we are at Sam's or Home Depot

 

Finally got done with lowering the drivers seat in the SS!!! Trial and error over the last week and many small adjustments later, I think I'm finally satisfied-----maybe.
