• 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.

    Tint Task Force -- My Morning Laughter

    So I've always heard that the Va State Troopers in Fairfax County are.....we'll say 'sticklers' for little things. And I got to deal with them this morning, AFTER dealing with 2 and a half hours of traffic due to a multi-car pileup that blocked all lanes (going in a straight line is tough...)...

    Different V6's and their power question

    So this is more of an engineering type question, and might be 'duh' to some people, but I don't know the answer--- but i've been thinking about it since I was annihilated by a 2012 Camry that was stock, didn't realize they put out as much power as they do, and out of a 3.5L engine. Camry is a...

    So while i've been looking for a house, doing paperwork, and closing (today) I've been living in a hotel for the last 6 months....my last day in it. Haven't had a problem up until now. I go outside, and jumping out at me like a pissed off grasshopper is a nice red gash on my driver side rear...

    Another "I want to turbo in the future" thread.

    ^^ Im tossing the idea around. Been researching like crazy, seriously considering. Sounds like a great power route to go. Granted it will probably be a ways away still, especially since a beefed up trans is coming first.. That being said, IF (and possibly when) I decide to go turbo route, which...

    So I'm upgrading the rear sway in my 04 GP, and i'm having major issues, i got the old one out, though not without much @$$pain with all the twisting and turning etc. But I can't seem to get the new one in. I have dual exhaust (no, not true dual). Any tips on getting this thing back in there...

    GT vs GTP

    I was on my way home from work when I spied, with my eye, the sight of orange marker lights in my side mirror. It was another 04+ GP. His lane was moving faster, and as he went by, i notice it was a GTP, black with what looked like the headlight and tail shades that you get from PFYC. So I slide...

    So there's that big ol' thread of everyone posting their MPG's. But on my other thread it was asked what kind of MPG's I was getting with my mods. Well I've always had an issue keeping my foot out of the gas, and was getting about 22 MPG ave per tank. But over the weekend I went on a 6 hour...

    What can an N/A mod do for YOU?

    So I constantly roll across individuals asking "How can I make my Grand Prix GT quicker?" often with the caveat -- "please don't say Top Swap or Turbo--" I asked the same thing myself. And the answer from everyone? Top Swap. Many don't want a top swap. I've put a few bolt on's on, and I'll tell...
