Replacing passenger side wheel bearing today, it's the ****ty Master Pro brand, but it's free. Last November, a buddy of mine that worked at the parts store swapped out all my stockers as "warranty replacements" One of them has taken a ****. So bad my rotor rubs the caliper bracket, I am running F-body rotors on the 06+ Impala brakes so the rotors are a little too thick. Driver side is fine though. Here's hoping they can turn the rotors. If not, Rockauto has some slotted rotors for $50 shipped to my door.

I appreciate it, but it's not really worth the shipping, because all I'd use is the piping, I already have some Borlas, but it's all on stock piping. I assume shipping wouldn't be all that cheap because even cut down, it's still big.

Still fighting with the tire shop to buy me new lug nuts. I gave them the key and they still did that...

Pretty awesome parts store, the replaced the hub assembly and turned the rotor for free because the bad bearing made the rotor rub.

What did they do pound a socket on it to loosen it? They should replace them if they damaged it. Keep pestering them and they will cave probably.

Small town America and hilly billys, I doubt I'll win. They are POS lugs anyways, I'll get some better ones shortly.

I mean if you wanted to get a lawyer and everything for a set of nuts you would probably win but it seems like much lol, Or they will shoot you. I hate those type of locking lugs anyway, they key stripped out for the ones on my moms car.

Yea, they were only temporary from the get-go, something like $19.99.

3.4 pulley once again installed, al 104 plugs also installed once again. tried to flash dans tune via the laptop and car, but it kept crashing while reading. cant chance writing if it crashes its a brick.

so, while i was at the junk yard i took all the parts to make a off board tuner set up. pcm out of the car wired up to a obd2 port and bingo!! it works like a charm on a desk top PC running XP.

hooked up to the pc. i used a small lawn mower battery for a 12 volt source.

oh, very little kr now, under 1.0 wot im happy. i can sleep tonight lol

Love the off-boarding setup Scotty!! Little bit of fine tuning and you'll be at 0KR

cute aint it

dont think its ready for them guys yet. the dung beetle would kick my ass, and its not on the list.....

Got the Turbo hung today now piping time later this week, got to go pick up fittings and other misc **** that will nickle and dime to death.....got to admit its pretty fun driving around unmuffled. This car can really make people double take

Today I hit a big ass garbage bag full of trash, whole bunch of **** caught up in the catback and subframe. Surprised it didn't cracked the bumper cover.

Also thats an odd shaped muffler

Scotty thats ghetto as hell lmao

ghetto my ass. redneck yes. 12 volt source is a 12 volt source. being all i spent was $3.99 for that switch to make that thing its a win win in my book.

i personally dont have a clue as how to tune a thing. all ive been doing is flashing stuff i copied from other tunes. like bills trans settings, i deleted my own codes, thats easy. then i sent dan my bin file, and he DR'ed it up for my mods and sent the new bin back to me, then i flashed that whole tune to my pcm.


as far as what to change im not that guy, i ve reached out to more people here then you care to know for help.




once again, thanks to you all. greg, bill and dan.

Looks like a remote mount turbo, results will be awesome knowing this guy. I'm anxious to see what he does with it.
