Smile Thank You All

Bcuz of these fourms I was able to change my engine oil, transmission fluid and fuel filter for first time. I am kind of person who has never been under any vehicle. But with all your help and support I was able to do all that with just some basic tools.

After I changed all that this morning, I feel more confident about myself and about this new GT i just purchased. Now I plan to flush raditor/brake/power steering and rear axle. Once again Thank you all.

Laser red represent!

Beautiful car man. I'm not sure how much you like detailing, but if you do you need to see what that car looks like polished and with a good coat of wax on it. The laser red color needs TLC to look good, but if you put the time and energy into it it blows everything else out of the water.

Enjoy the car!

Whats a TLC, I use this green WAX & DRY stuff from turtlewax. Is regular rubon WAX better then this liquid stuff ?

Thumbs up

Congrats! Car looks great. Working on your own car can be very rewarding. Now you can begin your tool collection.

BTW, TLC = Tender Loving Care

which red cars generally need.

Congrats on the new car and the successful fluids change. I'd look into clay baring the car and waxing the car real good with some old fashion paste wax. It will really make your car shine good and protect the paint. Best of luck on the rest of your projects.... (redfire ftw, I have a redfire)
