Happy New Year - Tow vehicle maintainence day!
Happy New Year to everyone out there! I rung in the New Year watching the Chicago Bears get their asses handed to them by the Packers with my wife and dog. To tell you the truth it was a nice change from the usual bar scene. On New Years day here I spent my day out in the garage whipping the tow vehicle and my wifes car into shape. Took a good deal of time on my wifes Honda Accord rotating tires, changing oil and the usual jazz. <br />
<br />
Then it was on to the Toyota 4Runner which occupied the rest of the day up until the Rose Bowl began. Had to change plugs and went with the Bosch Platinum 2 plugs instead of the OEM NGK Iridiums, that I became very happy with when I ran them in the Ferrari, for no other reason than they cost 2 bucks a plug less and they were actually available locally today. Outside that I changed the oil, and dropped in a K&N filter while modifying the air box to remove the stupid noise screen they had in there…just want to get every last pony out of that V8. I think if I could every car I have I would screw with doing stupids little things to it to get more HP out of it. Next weekend is going to consist of changing the diff fluid and transfer case fluid, putting the new tires on the car after I picked up a nail over the holidays and then all thats left is brakes in the spring. Anyone have suggestions on pads? <br />

A much cooler post soon on taking the Stohr up to the local race shop to get the new engine cradle welded in. <img src="http://www.trackpedia.net/blogs/john/templates/default/img/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":-)" style="display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;" class="emoticon" /> Happy New Year again everyone!
