What's a pinch clamp? One of them wrenches that you adjust n clamp down tight? I had to bash with a hammer to get the fronts off but they didn't strip. Then I blasted the rears n tried the same with a little breaker bar n hammer n stripped them both. Ill mess with them another day n figure it out. I painted the rear calipers red for now but I wanna get the drilled n slotted rotors on eventually. Thanks tho I will give that a shot.

What size were your fronts again spazz? If you remember, if not ill scroll back n see lol


Ya its clamp that you twist this knob on it and close it, my buddy used it and got his 7 bolts out of his engine in like little less than an hour. I never tried it so i dont know for sure if it can help you but just throwing it out there to help.

BTW car is looking gorgeous bro, keep it up.
 


Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged SSC Rears On!

Man you gotta be Ultra-pleased the way its sitting now cuz damn thats fine.

Just noticed the tint rev bar yep yep, you redo the spoiler yet?
when I did my rotors the front was a b!tch from the locktite but the back came off esy. I just used a 1/2 inch ratchet with an impact socket and tapped with a 3lb. mall. Did you round out the head of the bolt?...small pipe wrench time?

Haha yeah I love the way it sits now, beating myself up cuz I just shoulda got ssc from rip, but I just might keep the DNA fronts on for now. N no I haven't done the spoiler yet, still have the paint sitting but when I get a day off work now I usually just wanna chill n not get into something cuz then I have to finish lol. But I was thinking I could throw my old one back on n take my time as well too. N yeah I rounded the bolt heads. Them harbor freight sockets look nice tho. Maybe ill pick them up or try other suggestions before I buy them. They can be a lifesaver tho.

this guy approves
haha thanks man. I want an se lip but not dishing out the bread. Hoping to find one on sale somewhere n just being patient.


right now I'm currently waiting on an overkill pcm, and new hid kit w. harness from ddm w. 4500k bulbs. I have court tomorrow for my hid 12k headlight ticket, stupid ones on from when I bought the car. So ill be switching headlights to stock in case they look at it with some sylvanias lol. I bought a cheap relay off ebay n think I fried my amp or something. My subs have been out for a week or so n they went out when I hooked up the cheap relay. Fml. Pappas13 dad checked all power with voltmeter thing n all was good. My amp lights up the blue like it should but doesn't push anything out to the subs. I checked all my fuses and connections, ground..n all checked out. So maybe it's time for a new amp? I went n bought some tb cleaner n I think m gonna clean my throttle body. I sometimes get a p2101 since I did my headers n it hesitates when I'm on the freeway.

Lol nice! How you gonna get an se lip if you tear off a Home Depot lip??!! Haha I'd be scared. Lmao n what screw are you talking about? Mine seem a little high, I'd like to lower them a little if possible.
I have a set of those. They work great the 2 times I've used them so far
Nice, I'll have to scoop them up if I end up messing with n no avails lol
lollll I cleaned my throttle body, haven't driven it yet to see if the code disappeared. She was pretty dirty though. Some rags n a toothbrush n this write up made it pretty simple. But you gotta scrub to get that crap off!

before..I hit this with a wire brush when I did my headers so it was a lot worse before. N this is my guess about the code?? I've never messed with the tb otherwise so idk

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged SSC Rears On!

Well my amp took a crap on me so I went n picked up a new one. I got the 1500 watt Audiopipe apcl n wow does this thing hit harder than my old brutus. Thank god it came with a boost control cuz it's stupid loud and only half way turned up. I wired them at 1 ohm cuz that's what they suggested. Idk sh!t about ohms n voltage n rms but they were explaining it a little to me and the lower the ohm the louder lol. Also took her for a wash n cleaned door jams n all that good stuff. I might try n make it to Woodward tomorrow morning before the wedding I'm going to but idk yet. I would go tonight but I'm going to the tigers game. I wanna go out cuz it seems like its gonna be pretty hype out there for the meet.

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged SSC Rears On!

Wow so the meet was pretty sweet today. Parking lot was pretty much filled by the time I left at 2. Met a bunch of people on here and just others from michigan. A lot of sick cars. I didnt really take any pictures but there was plenty of photographers so im hoping I can find some of them floating around. Or theyll be on the fb page im hoping. Got a lot of compliments on the car n theyre was some sick grand prixs there! Intense was doing 100 tunes and selling sh!t for cheap! I got poly upper n lower mounts and a 3.6 mps and hub for 100. Would have got a tune but overkill is on the way. Had a good time over all n was upset I had to leave cuz it was getting packed.
