I put dryer sheets in both of my C5s. I also put Irish Spring soap in the C5s. I should have done this long ago when I put them in winter storage. I recently caught a mouse in a trap so I'm guessing more are around. I do NOT want them eating my wire, etc.
Anybody else have ideas to either repel or kill mice?
I've been using the Bird-X YardGard units for years and they do work. I keep a truck in my neighbor's barn and I was seeing mouse droppings in there. I bought another YardGard unit and put it in there, and I now see no trace of mice. As a test, I had put the little blocks of mouse killer before I added the new YardGard and they were eating them. They are now untouched, and there are no more mouse droppings.
I currently have three units - one in that barn, one in the garage (with my Vette), and one in the basement, and I no mouse problems in those areas - where there were problems.
Amazon has the best prices on the YardGard units... $30.49.
Nothing today, but I'm gathering some goodies to do over the winter. Picked up a complete set of ARH (headers, mid pipes, high flow cats and x pipe) a few weeks ago, and now in the process of possibly working out a deal on a set of RadioFlyer ACA bi-xenon lights.
Heard a new growl coming from the rear while driving. Got home, felt the rear bearing for temperature difference, none. On the quickjacks and started the car and put in gear. Noise and very slight vibs from the left rear wheel , right good. Neither one with any play shaking the wheels.
Looks like a rear wheel bearing change out in the near future.
I started my install of interior innovations' new seat leather. Driver side is done. I also put heated seats and made a panel for the switches out of ABS that goes into the void on my Metra bezel. The Interior innovations foam is a lot thicker and stiffer than OEM. I actually had to reuse the halo because it was impossible to fasten the leather to the seat back otherwise. I like the firmness of the back and bottom pieces though. And yes wrinkle police, I know they are a little wrinkled.
Installed the LMC5 (column lock prevention). Relatively easy job, but not so easy for a big guy to get both arms in the footwell to work with those tiny wires. Got the job done but my shoulders and back are already sore!
Also, after recently installing the Corsa x-pipe, I spent today re-adjusting the exhaust tips to level.
