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.

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?

possible they could work with a stout vice-grip brand, although they have a tendency to spring open when you smack em.

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.

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. Grand Prixs Of North America • View topic - p2101 there's what the code is but idk man I hate ses lights lol.

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.

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


after



also spliced my hi beam solenoid switched into my hi beams on the extra set of wires that come with the aftermarket headlights. So well see if they work when I put them back on tomorrow!

n this is what I see when I get back to the shop after work. I love the way she sits now. Perfect.

Sitting there nicely, like a phat a$$ed GP should.

Hey the GP is not fat, Its Fluffy.

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.

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.
