beats me why he stayed home. could have been the heat. it was bad yesterday.
he should be in today. i ordered new rotors and pads for the cavi before i take my car this weekend. so he should be in but might be busy till later in the afternoon. today is going to be another hot one. he has no AC in the shop so it gets pretty bad with no air circulation.

 

Make sure you leave the cobalt behind so we can see it

 

I know I thought I was gonna dehydrate when I was there fri... unfortunatly I can't make it there today/.. gotta get my windshield replaced this afternooon (don't ask) and then I got a meeting tonight... yay!!!... but I will look into the tranny thing and see what we can do.

 

Ah ok cool cool. If I am moving back (should hopefully find out today if the job is a go) I will be in Oyster Bay/East Norwich so Huntington won't be all that far away for me. Plus there are some fun back roads on which to get there...hehe.

 

hack...trust me the cars going no where for a while. still work being done to it. some parts should be coming in today.

 

it should be a fun night...maybe get some races going..paul i still havent seen your race someone...i must see..lol. maybe mike and i can meet up w/ hack and take him out with us to get out there..im thinkin meet up with him around 930 get there945..and have some good cobalt fun...donna u must get your car out now! how much longer?

you can tune the 2.2 with HPTuners...you sure about that? if so, hey ill do it 2...w/e i dont care..lol.

 

i dont know how much longer. there is just no time to work on it and we spent a lot of time trying to get it to the point its at and now its just the small stuff thats killing us.
just sucks because i havent had my car on the road since december. but its hard to build and complete street/ show car in a couple months while owning and running a shop, 2 very busy online sites, and renovating a house.
trust me its been a very stressful ordeal. i have been in tears like 5 times over this car, missing shows i knew i would whoop ass at, not making magazine deadlines etc. but there is so much that goes into it...its hard to really know unless you are there and watch all the work from start to finish ...itll be out one night...just waiting is killing me and just about every other person up at DPA waiting for this car to come out. LOL

 

2.2 pcm has no access with hp... maybe the tranny control, haven't tried it yet... but I'll call them and see... my car is runnin like poop right now... afr is btw 9.8-1 to 11.5-1 in the midrange so its boggin bad every shift... hence the 13.94 at the track, also I have to have to put my stg II belt in cause the belt slip is killin me, I keep losing boost at top end, but I have the belt just too hot to put it in... maybe today/// I should have the car tuned fri for those brave enough to run me... maybe even have the no2 hooked up... we shall see.

 

by the way donna... I told you guys if you ever need a hand... I'm more than willing to come by after work to get your car done. I gotta repay you guys somehow for all the support... I'm also waiting to see what that beast will do... tell kenny to call me when he gets a chance I left him my cell number on his answering machine.

 

yeah paul if u can check it out that wud b sick..i would be down at kenny's in a instant. yeah i feel ur pain donna. it looks nice though. if u need anything let me know....yes im going to be doing the same thing like kenny when i get all those nice degrees and certifications.....i gotta talk to him about that stuff sometime when im down at CA. u guys havin fun at work?

 

work blows over here... but at least I have the internet.... hahaha paid to go on ss.net

 

haha cant beat that. so wut do u think HP tune wud change on my car..any idea?

 

probably nothing.... but I can see if we can try.... 1st things 1st I gotta get my afr's right.... john said he had to wash the soot off his car from following me out to jersey... lol..

 

hahaha....mike added his downpipe....ran in a lil bit of a problem....he has a lil exhaust leak which i think he is fixing today..sounds so different. not as"ricey."..he added the new spark plugs..and he is doing the belt n pulley with mike thomas cuz he has a pulley puller..im guessing. yeah if we cud somewut tune my car..that wud b nice.

 

hey paul can u take a look at this HPTuner link

http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6866

does this mean anything..im not to familar with HP tuners yet.

 

YEAH i HEARD..... 61/2 hours for a dp.... wd40 does wonders on those manifold studs... I stripped one of mine fri.... but with only 1 thread left oon it it's still hoilding without leaking... I can';t believe it... oh yeah if the leak is by the flange at the resonator use the stock gasket... I had that problem with mine too.

 

thanks guys :-) ahh well i would love to chat some more but im getting overrun with work. bleh. ttyl

 

unfornutaley I think that is for the older models... I don't think the 05-06 pcm is available to work with hp yet... I think right now just the 05-06 2.4 ss is supported.

 

hmmm oh well...well figure it out someday.

 

The TCM is different from the PCM and is standard on all 4T45E tranny's, ask Halfcent, he has the same transmission as me

 

So it looks like me and iLLmaTic3s will both be screwing with our transmissions if we go to the garage on friday

I was thinking about keeping my "D" gear stock

Upping the Line Pressure and Engine drag in "2"

Setting the Line Pressure to a crazy amount and extending the gears from 2 to 4 in "L"

 

also only if it is viable for them to buy the license for the vehicle... remember it is a different license than the ss/sc. though I know I could get a few people down to tune to make it worthwhile

 

who? kenny and CA? paul will this work?

 

Any idea of prices?

 

im not sure..we gotta see if he will be there.
