UPDATE! Car is almost done and should get it back by next tuesday. The body shop guy showed me a picture of how bad the rockers were underneath my side skirts. They were completely rotted through my brotha. I'm glad I finally got them fixed. Any more track runs this month or is it done until next spring?

UPDATE! Finally got the car back and it turned out damn amazing brotha. Only thing he didn't get done was the rear lip. I'm still going to get it done and he did paint it for me. He said it will take a lot of fabrication to get it to fit correctly and since i had to do both my rockers completely the cost was getting almost past my budget. i'll post pics soon my brotha

 

Hey Buddy!, no no more runs this year. My tires were pretty bald and had to put on my winters.. Ended up going to Cali last week, was amazing!

No you just un did your weight reduction mods lol hahah, nice man we need pics!!
SOOOOOOO I saw ZZP has their quick release bumper brackets finally for sale now omg i need them hahaha

Who knows maybe new summer rubbers and that might be enough, but I will gut the car again, just put my carpet back in the other day

 

Awesome Bro. Glad you had a good trip to Cali. lol yes added some extra pounds but the old girl looks damn good. i'll post up pics soon brotha. Yeah i'm gunna need them new brackets plus they look cool. Yeah just regroup for next summer brotha. You got enuff hp i believe to break into 13's next year. Just have to get your launch down.

 

Yeah I really need those brackets hahaha they look sick and would make taking the bumper off a pleasant dream omg. It'll happen

 

Damn 44 pages lol. I got an 09 G5 and I'm planning on a supercharger as well for ***** and giggles so I'll have to dig through this!

 

Have fun reading my pain and suffering hahah. I think Gene's thread is well over a hundred pages, though it is much older I do believe

 

Lolol. I just went through the struggle of a ZZP longtube install while keeping SAI. I have sources an LSJ intake manifold and throttle body in preparation.... But one thing at a time

 

Yeah I read that one too, poor guy lol, wonder if he could've just deleted the system thou...

if you have any questions let me know man!

 

That was me! I wanted to keep it so I didn't have to worry about a tune yet... No tune till I get a supercharger. I will for sure! My goal is a 93 octane tune nothing insane. I'm doing a clutch so was debating on an LSD but

 

oh **** hahah, I thought you meant you read it sorry haha

AHHH makes sense, how do you find the longtubes vs stockers?
91 + meth here in Canada. LSD would be insanely cool

 

Well I went from bone stock to full 3" exhaust with zzp catted downpipe, resonator, and muffler. Huge difference and Idk if placebo but up top it feels a lot better.

I do not have E85 around me, and I don't want to gamble with the bottom end lol so 93 is a safe route for me. I will have to dig through here to see if you did the LSJ accessories swap, which I assume you did. Idk if I like cutting a rib off the belt last thing I want is slippage

 

I remember feeling more up today for sure, I don't think it's a placebo. I also remember losing power down low, but I went from mid length to long tubes so that's why
Nope, I'm running the LAP drive system still, phenolic spacers, 2.9" pulley and a gates K050705RPM (I've had a zzp belt snap before) same belt used for the 3.1" pulley (phenolic spacers compensates for the drop in pulley size)

I wish I could get 93 here. Domo does sell 93 in Canada but it's stipulated like 10% ethanol and Domo is notorious for watered down gas here so I didn't wanna tune a fuel that I knew wouldn't be consistent. Some have bought 208L barrels of E85 though

 

interesting, thank you! Itll be a learning experience for sure lol

 

I had no slipping. Also, 3 inch is overkill. Supercharged cars don’t even need 3 inch. Loss of torque.

 

Yeah I should have done 2.5 lol oh well

 

Never know, could be room to grow perhaps. but ya I run a long tube with 2.5" on mine..

 

I am a 1 and done guy so that part of me saying 3". Meanwhile my other side was like "it's just a 4cyl". Oh well! The sound is decent not too ricey. Will see how supercharger changes the note

 

Ended up buying a set of 225/55ZR16 Extreme Contacts! And they looks so goood! should be mounted soon then I'll post pics, looks like it's just gonna be shy of the fenders

 

Then, I had this genius idea lol, had a spare TMAP sensor, hollowed it out, filled it with urethane and slapped an aftermarket temp sensor in it lol and I should have a post temp sensor in a minute!

 

Quick release bumper pins should make it on early spring

 

 

 

225/55ZR16!!!! woah!

 

 

could anyone explain to me how the replacement of a stuck closed thermostat could change the valve cover from under vacuum to having positive pressure?
