What did you do to your Car today?

My car is in the body shop due to a freaking tard who hit my passenger side fender-well and scraped my wheel while my car was parked.
 
Finished the fuel lines today. Started the car. All I heard was a loud click. Hmm. What did I do wrong? Oh that's right I put a ground on the tranny instead of the starter. Silly fail. Car is finished now. :)
 
Re: What did you do to your Grand Prix today?

Finished cold air intake, PCM tray http://www.grandprixforums.net/easy-cold-air-upgrade-59014.html#post745699
flipped upper mounts, and installed new thermostat (yay I have heat again!) Snapped a pic in the Wally World parking lot a few nights ago, looks good from 30ft away.

Started the car for the first time innl a month last night & listened to the motor turn over & over & over. . . Fml
 
Started it for the first time this week. It had to jumped because I forget to plug in my battery tender. I guess I need a new battery. It won't turn over after a few days sitting.
It only required about half a turn to start.
 


Installed overkill pcm last night, it doesn't like my car. 3-4* of knock, horrible acceleration, weaker pull than i had before, and sloppppyyy 1-2 shifts even after driving for a while and everything. needless to say my problem was not a pcm.

so nowwwww i need to get rid of a perfectly good Overkill pcm...

oh and im taking it to the track tonight :D

Yes because on Nixon's tune you're commanding 14*, on Will's it was 17.

The trans settings on Will's is more lax.

Do you have poly upper mounts? If no, get some, then Will's settings will seem more firm.
 


installed a new fuel pump in the gtp, and vacuumed it out because its been sitting since I got the gxp in jan...

yeah he's only commanding 14 or 15 i forget. he can chime in if he likes.

i hate his trans settings. my 1-2 clutch is too worn out to have something that lax. with aggressive settings it shifts like it has a shift kit.

and no. i have flipped dog bones. i've been considering poly uppers though. Will's tune will not be staying on my car. it's too economical i guess. acceleration is such a joke. nixon tune ftw.
 


Who is Nixon and who is Will?
