What have you done to your car lately?

[jdmser]

What have you guys done to your cars lately other than detailing. Whether it be new wheels, engine work, or even routine maintenance lets see what you got going on. I'll go first. I've ignored some issues with the daily for a while now and finally got the time and motivation to take care of them.

swapped a set of low miles gears from a non-lsd transmission into my lsd transmission


put in a ACT six puck clutch while I was at it


and not too long ago I pulled down my saggy headliner, pulled of the felt, and covered it in carbon fiber

That carbon fiber headliner looks crazy!!

Dude, my car needed 4 new tires since like 10k ago, but I still haven't done it because I don't want to spend $1250, but I tell you this much, the paint looks freaking awesome.

I haven't had a chance to do much besides change the air freshener and replace some worn tires. I still need to take my winter wheels/tires off the Durango and change the leaky oil cooler lines on my trusty old beater 7.

Are tires just that expensive out there for a normal car or do you need special Y rated tires or something? Last time I put new tires on it was a set of Michelins and it was only about 700.

About $850 to $900 for the 4 tires for my Lexus EX350 plus the labor at the dealer. I don't trust taking my car to any other place where they could f up all the sensors. And yeah, as****e Arnold probably did add crazy fees to that.
