I need to do this too.

What temp worked good for you?

I know there are lots of how to's, but getting different experiences from different people always helps!

 

About 220F. 10-15mins and they'll pry apart pretty easy.

 

Replaced the shifter roll pins and cut off the weight from the shifter linkage, interesting (but small) difference.

 

Washed with my "helper"

 

Replaced my front sway bar. That was about a bitch to get done, but no more God forsaken bumping and grinding against my passenger control arm anymore.

 

Was the bushing toast?

 

Plastidipped the Front Chevy emblem white, put gas in.

 

... And waxed. No helper today. Happy secession day everyone!

 

I wish my car could be clean but chances of rain all week. Looks good emecham

 

Thanks! I've pretty much guaranteed that it'll rain now. We have rain predicted as well, but I couldn't wait anymore. It'll be in the garage in the evenings so I should be OK.

 

Yeah here its only raining early in the morning or late at night so not worth it for me to clean it no garage

 

Got code p0131 today

 

Increased my dwell a bit from stock in the idle area. Now the surging on E47 isn't anywhere near as bad as it was.

 

O2 sensor? Exhaust leak?

 

I doubt its an exhaust leak but it could be possible im leaning more towards the o2 but then again the light hasnt come back on and already drove like 70+ miles after i cleared it

 

Nah, I replaced the bushings a month ago, but found out then that the sway bar was bent. Since these bushings were still brands new I reused them

 

Got rained on on the way to work. Figured it'd rain soon after the wash, but it was within 5 minutes of taking it out:-S

 

Damn that sucks man

 

Yes, but I can't say I didn't expect it. And there's hardly any spots on it so I came out OK in the end. It was getting washed regardless!

 

Lol well thats good mine is a mess atm maybe tomorrow ill wash it

 

Washed, fixed air filter, drove around tight corners now that front sway bar isn't bent as ****. turns out my mileage increased hugely between those two things.

Then i went and blew my sub

 

It's crazy how much the suspension can contribute to MPG's.

Putting my coilovers on gave me about 2 more MPG!

Was it the stock sub??

 

It's amazing man, i can drive normally ("Spirited" driving) now, and still get more in town than i would combined before. can't wait for CABs this weekend now lol.

Nah, the stock is still running off of the amp under the steering wheel, but i had a JL Audio 12W3 and i'm pretty sure the voice coils finally went, unless somehow the wires came unhooked from the sub IN box, and i wasn't hard cornering or anything so not likely.

 

I almost f*cked up my sub really bad.

I had removed the spare tire from under the floor in the trunk, and had my amp down there.

But it made the center of the floor concave in a little.

I opened my trunk one day, only to find my sub box flipped, and the speaker face down, pounding away with a piece of plastic jamming into the rubber surround.....

Almost sliced it to ribbons!

So I made something more secure that also gave me some trunk space back, lol

 

Man, I've had some fun driving before and have run into it slipping into that space.
