Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

04 gp gt: low, slow and a dirty sloot.

Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" I made it go vroom...

Prime be worth it? Not that I know if Amazon sells sway bars. Looks like might be slower shipping, but it's once a year payment for smaller stuff.

We like it. Our mail carrier doesn't, lol.
 


Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs more creative title.

Ya. I wanted to try E85 tuning and a few other things, but unfortunately there's no corn up here. :p so I'll just play with everything else until I get the rest of my top swap parts.

Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs MOAR TUNIN'

Got the first attempt at tuning flashed, just a trans tune and some other stuff, fans and such.

It feels like a new trans already. Lol

Edit:



This just came in the mail... Lol today's turning out pretty good so far.

Scottydoggs helped me out with some stuff, now I've got an actual tune in the sloot.

I'm already learning too much, my brain hurts. Lol
 


Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs MOAR TUNIN'

No photos anymore, but I got the spoiler, tried to take the brake light off and broke a screw extractor off.

Yeah.

Where is that screw? Drill maybe. I have cut the head off a small screw with a dremel; it makes a mess around the head, it's terrible suck to control and it was probably the worst thing I've done since.

..I guess that doesn't really count as an idea then, lol
 
Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs MOAR TUNIN'

Third brake light on the new spoiler. Yeah I'm annoyed.

That is what I'm trying to avoid... Lol
 
Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs MOAR TUNIN'

Did you get that thing out? Last idea I got is to cut around it. I've seen guys make tiny hole saws out of stuff for wood. Kinda found a half-assed vid searching "tiny hole saw." I'm not sure how well it would work with plastic. It kinda looks like the do make small diamond saws, but that's time and money.

Unfortunately, it wont leave it fully in tact either :( ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD6ibqWpVCM
 
Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs MOAR TUNIN'

I used a flat blade to gently pry them out while spinning the screw that was rusted to the anchor...pos
Then I just epoxied them back in. kind of a dumb move on my part.

It worked great but no chance of retinting the crap VHT tint easily.
 


Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs MOAR TUNIN'

Yeah I'm tryin to keep that third brake light. I might take a dremel to the sides of the screw and turn it into a bolt.

I still haven't decided between black or silver yet. Lol
 
Re: 04 GP "dirty sloot" needs MOAR TUNIN'

Anyways, another package came today.

It's raining today, so I might not get stuff installed... But I've got time. :) lol
