• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

wish it was my bank account.
 
And...just compared Duplicolor silver high performance wheel paint with Duplicolor hyper silver paint.(HSK100)
I did two wheels on the inside with the hypersilver and was disappointed it turned out greyish.
I ordered some high performance silver and just did a test spot on an old toolbox and compared the two.
The silver is silver with metal flake and the hyper silver is kinda grey silver with no flakes.
$hit, now i have to do the two wheels over, cuz that hypersilver ain't all that

Hmmm. That is good to know. I will wait to see how they look with this other silver when you post photos.
 
well I was kinda upset. So I wetsanded and prepped the waste of money paint.
Sorry man, but once I saw the difference I knew what a mistake it was.

Here is a rough pic after the HSK100(hypersilver) with no clear.
Looks like shiny primer grey. F-bomb

Hey Scotty. I have a question for my fellow Regal owner. I was sitting in the car today with the engine shut off and noticed the DIC was reading 0.5psi of boost? I let it sit for 5 minutes or so and it still read the same. I pulled the key out and came back a while later and it still said the same thing. What could that be? Just a funky faulty sensor?
 
mine sits at 0.0 at idle, and while driving unless im into the gas. around town i see little spikes around 1.5 to 2.0 tops. <<<driving like a human that is.

maybe your map sensor is on its way out. or your cluster is just a bit off.
 
After I start the car is goes down to 0.0 but if I just sit there with the engine off it'll say 0.5. It's weird hah. Just thought I'd see if it's a common issue or anything.
 


on a cold start its at like 1000 to 1200 rmp's, so maybe thats why? ill have to check mine tomorrow morning, see if its up a bit.

i hardly look at the boost any more. i leave it on avg mpg. so i can frown at the low numbers.
 
I'm not really concerned about it. Just curious. And yeah I keep it on boost so I don't have to think about my mpg hah. It's at 20.3 right now I think.
 
i swore at mine and punched the shifter after my tranny **** out on my today.... then i proceeded to swear at my GF because its her fault

all i do its local stop and go. so it sits anywhere from 11.0 to 14.5 most of the time. depends on how many times i floor it and for how long.

every time i go out i need to cross 3 lanes of thick traffic, and need to punch it and hold it into the gas past the 2 nd gear shift and longer sometimes to fight my way across. i got like a 1000 feet to work with lol

im sure that has a lot to do with my low #'s.
