97loudcut Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I am thinking about mounting my wheels to my tires, painting my calipers on Sunday, and possibly throwing my new wheels on next week. Today I washed the car up and took out the heavy duty winter floor mats and put my mint condition original floor mats . I also think it is time for a nice engine detail, possibly steam clean. So is anyone else getting their car in summer mode yet, or are you holding off? Quote
J Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 where do you take it to steam clean the engine bay? Jessica's 17's are going on this weekend! Quote
Z34-5speed Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Mine has been in summer mode for 2 weeks here in Alabama, been in the 80s consistantly. I need to clean my engine bay also. Quote
Euro Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 i havent done anything to mine yet. although when May comes around the mods start Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 The TGP came out of the garage today for its first drive of the year!! Only to go back in the garage and I took the x-over and turbo out this evening. Quote
Robby1870 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Gonna rain this weekend here so I guess I'm holding off on cleaning stuff. Quote
MonteCarloChick Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 There is no summer mode. My paint looks like ass and I'm slowly losing interest in my car. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I gotta get the rest of the body work done before i can put mine back on lol Quote
Euro Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 My paint looks like ass and I'm slowly losing interest in my car. been there.....now i have the GP Quote
runt Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I'm going to wait until it's NOT going to rain for a few days before I even touch the car. I actually did 95% of the plastic interior pieces already, but still have some trim to clean up good and get the carpets cleaned up just a touch. I have some kick ass heavy plastic mats that keep almost all of the stuff off of the floor. (My G/F loves me...lol) But...before the car gets treatment...the bike comes out of the shed! Quote

terryk2003 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 i'm holding out til Easter weekend!...hopefully the weather is decent, and i'll be using those 3 days to wash/clay/buff/wax the GTP and throw the new wheels & tires on... Quote
ns87 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Good weather, but I'm waiting for the streets to be cleaned. Theres still assloads of salt and sand Quote
Hairdo12 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 At UB they open up all the stair ways outdoors for people to use on April 15. I figure that (well the closest weekend) is a good time for me. Quote
3WH12-96 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 summer mode ?? we are close just not there yet and GOD im ready for summer mode cutie Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 It was summer mode a month ago here! Today is 64, but that's only because it's rainy. Yesterday was 77 and all the rest of the week was in the 70's. I put the chrome 077's back on 2-weeks ago, but I could have done it much earlier. Mild snow-less winters are kind of nice, although I miss the winters of the 80's and early 90's when we could expect tons of snow that stuck around for awhile. I guess Al Gore is right about the global warming thing... Quote
blkinternational Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 i put my rims back on and cleaned, waxed the car thurouhly yesterday Quote
Cam'ron Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 I'm in summer mode as soon as the snow melted out of my driveway, got the car all cleaned up, not detailed yet but thats coming, powerwashed the engine, used the hoist at my uncles shop and washed the underside real good, then the city shits itself and every road in the city is under water doesnt matter where you went, water everywhere... so i have washed the car a couple times but its still dirty Quote
OSVHURST/OLDS Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 I'll be in summer mode once the new 3.1mpfi engine(came with the car) gets installed in the car. Then the insurance will be switched over to the Cutlass. Quote
jeremy Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 just throw them on....you keep your shit clean enough to not worry about them anyway Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Summer mode starts on April 14 when the TGP comes out of storage. Then the 077's go back on the Z34. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 I just put my rims on today. Although my car wont be leaving the garage for a while yet. Quote
97loudcut Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Posted March 24, 2007 I painted my calipers today! W00t Quote
