completely stock, 26k miles, lovin it so far!!

any ideas for my first mod?

 

Pinstripe delete.

 

tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

from what i`ve read downpipe and tune and you`ll be making a lot more power. and yeah pinstripe delete

 

yeah i hate the pin stripes, whats the easiest and safest way to get rid of them?

as for a tune, since under warranty still im gonna go with a gms1 paired with a dp and some kind of intake, not sure on where im gonna get them from yet though?

from people with personal experience, is it as easy as it seems? i dont wanna mess up the paint

 

Are they painted on or is it a sticker?

 

Heat gun and finger nail is all you need. Then wax it.

Downpipe, Intercooler, tune. Have fun.

 

if your not gonna tune it, dont waste money on an intake.

 

I wouldn't do a GMS1, if I could go back in time and undue it I would. Get trifecta they have a hidden tune from what I hear. But GMS1 is garbage.

 

i might just wait to tune it until the warranty is up then, unless i can get an invisible tune. and i love the sound of the sqv bov, so thats in my future too

 

A BOV isn't needed unless you go with a bigger turbo. But if you're going for noise then ya go for it. I have the forged BPV and that does the job for me.

 

Nice car rlloyd22. But I gotta agree it'd be better looking without the strip

Take what maccoy316 says with a grain of salt. Lots of people like GMS1, and it maintains warranty. Plus it's nice learning your car in steps over time ex: Stock->GMS1->Aftermarket tune+mods. You'll learn to appreciate it more IMO rather then diving right in.

And to Maccoy you're running all those modifications while useing GMS1? Just going by your sig. No hiccups or weird problems?

 

might want to seafoam the car now. before anything

 

what do you mean seafoam?

 

Pinstripe delete and low rise or wingless

 

its a carbon cleaner. cleans out the carbon deposits in the engine and makes it run better. since your DI the valves get gunk on them and the seafoam gets rid of it

 

sounds like a hard task lol

im not very inclined in this area, i just got into the car seen.

 

i learned almost everything i know about cars from this site. seafoaming is actually really easy.

 

amsoil power foam is better than seafoam IMO ive felt better results with it over seafoam

 

[QUOTE=rlloyd22;6261338]what do you mean seafoam?[/QUOT

all you do is find the one vacuum line on the intake manifold and take it off put your own hose on that small nipple and start the car make sure its already at operational temp. and rev the engine to keep it from stalling have someone hold the can and hose. I changed my oil after.

there are how to's for it here is a video i found on YouTube.
