What did you do to your Caprice today?
Re: What did you do to your Caprice today?
We got our Holden airbag, too. No more physical bowties anywhere on the car!
Also have an Aussie silverbox waiting to go in. Need to figure out what kind of mic I need to make bluetooth work, and buy a camera for it.
Then I just need to get the center support and a traction control button so we can do the whole console swap and radio swap all in one go.

Got rid of my steelies. Traded them for some BMW wheels. Programmed a new set of TPMS Sensors, so I won't have to worry about fooling around with them for a while. My wife thinks the BMW center caps are ridiculous, but I think it's too funny.

You watch, now the unexplained mechanical failures and maintenance issues will take over & possess your car. "Broke More than Working".
Heh.
Heh.

Re: What did you do to your Caprice today?
That's great. You're right. I should expect the VANOS codes to appear and brake pads to wear out. (This may only be funny to guys that work on BMWs though)
I believe it is also now my duty to drive slow in the left lane.

Not mine, but my fathers car.
Some Hot Wheels 21's. All four are rears, 9.5in wide I believe.
This is just a test fit, waiting on a pair of 305/30/21 tires to arrive.

Drove to NYC, Queens to be exact, and back home. It’s amazing to see the left lane become all yours! NJS, did use these cars, not a lot of them but did see them occasionally on I78 and 287.
Car drives great but can’t figure out the loose drifty feel I get at speeds over 70.

Re: What did you do to your Caprice today?
Man this things is turning into a money pit for me lol...let's see, replaced both cv axles last week luckily found a low mileage wrecked chevy ss for parts...new brakes all the way around...parking brake hardware basically disintegrated, replaced all that...and now I'm looking for a 3.27 rear differential. Prices seem a bit high for what I want to spend though so kinda holding off. Oh local bodyshop patched my spotlight holes. That's about it for now...
Re: What did you do to your Caprice today?
Long overdue, I gave her a good cleaning, wash and wax, cleaned the windows, dusted the dash. Now she's all nice and shiny! Not perfect or completely detailed but good enough. This is in preparation to taking her to a local GM/Holden cruise. Since I possibly have the only one in the country, well, it might get some attention
2011 Caprice PPV, former RCMP test vehicle, never put into service
