• 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?

Damn not only I get called out for being lazy in person you had to do it on the internet. :( E85 aint gonna happen till spring. Other crap gonna get done soon!
 


To my car, I did nothing. I did learn a lot about more about OKuma lathes though...like what happens when the chuck clamp lets go of a 5 pound casting at 3000 RPM. Man that was fun. I only broke 5 tools and 3 tool bars, haha. sounded awesome too.
 
Accidentally left out a valve spring compressor in the car and my girlfriend ran it over, popped her tire on her 2013 cruze that she hasn't yet had for a month or made a payment on. Whoops.
 
Have a good vibration at 65+ still, Gonna try to balance ties before i burn the car.

Got eh gas mileage around 28-29 on the DIC, for an 1.5 hour highway blast.

We these new ones still have the same vibration. So i hope its just balance before i start replacing suspension components.

Well, there might be. On the highway they seem to want to wander.
My LCAs, Tie Rods are new, alignment done the other week. I'm suspecting maybe a wheel bearing. But i have no noises or ABS issue last i checked at that wheel.

When I'm going down highway it vibrates some, then when I turn the wheel right slightly i noticed the wheel vibrating side to side slightly. Which is what it did on my old wheels. I'm stumped, gonna check it out this week looking for play in the wheels. I know i need sway bar bushings and struts because I'm getting a clunk but idk.

Replaced tinted stockers with red LEDs today.

On a related note, anyone know if I would be able to throw on mufflers from a 3.8 on here for a week or two without any problems? I got warned for illegal mufflers and need to throw something quieter on for when it gets checked if it was fixed this week.

Yeah she's a little mad. but she was gonna get new tires in the next few months anyways, and I told her its her own fault for now looking when she pulls into the garage. That didn't exactly help.

Yeah, I've been posting a lot lol.

Ouch!! :D Issues? What issues? Going fast? Lol. The supercharger, playing around with dropping pulleys, and all the supporting mods along the way are what it's all about. Over the past few years, I put on all the stuff to run a 3.4 & had it street tuned for that. A few months ago I bought another MPS pulley. This time the 3.6. So, I have the 3.4, 3.6, & a 3.8. I arranged them on my tool wall. Cool set up.

The 3.6 is my favorite. It's significantly better on gas mileage & it still packs a punch. The 3.4 is a little too much for daily driving. I put it on for a ride I gave my neighbor to O'Hare around the 4th of July & he started to get nauseous from the way I drove with all the Boost & torque from it pulling strong, hahaha!!!

Everytime I see another Grand Prix, I always look for the badges on the doors. I get disappointed when I see non GTP badges & then I kind of sigh & say Ahh, oh well... ;D

FORCED INDUCTION!!! I will never go back. Thinking about one of those popular 2.0L Turbo set-ups that lots of cars have for my next ride in the future. However, I'm pretty sure a SC is much more reliable & probably a lot easier to maintain &/or fix. I've pulled mine out of my car at least 5 times & had the nosedrive rebuilt for like $30 in parts & $50 in labor from Jason F :D
