Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Didn't break anything actually. Felt like six pounds of crap stuffed into a five pound bag as soon as the valve cover came off. The inside of an engine is about as foreign to me as the salad bar is.

Fixed my KR and also found out why I failed to outrun a stock Regal GS... I was making all of four pounds of boost. Plugged the vac line leading to the BBV and now I'm back up to 10 lbs, where I belong.

I've been thinking about going back to Eibach springs lately

I sent an email to Duplicolor asking why they have 2 products with the same product number. So now tomorrow I guess I'll start over.

When it comes out of a can like that it is never going to match exactly anyway. We had a can mixed specifically for the paint code on my mom's Avenger and the red was still different. It was only a door handle we painted, but still it was different. Even if you get the "flame red" in a rattle can don't expect an exact match.

im glad the duplicolor gm black metallic matched for my bumper.

I don't think you can screw up black lol

theres so many shades of black, you can f up black real easy. my head was spinning looking through all the black cans. gm, toyota, and so on and on.

of course they are all locked in behind a glass slider and have tights shelves they slide it. took like 30 minutes of searching. im pretty sure i got the last 3 cans too.

That's true lol it seems like a good answer at the time haha

If that's the case then check and regap them at the very least....it's simple enough to do

I'm hoping to go out and do some tuning today

His sites down for whatever reason. Cause I was gonna maybe order it now so that I could maybe have it by summer haha and just tell him the mods that will be happening since it seems like he takes a while
This comes up

Hmm, I was just emailing him the other day. He just updated his site n it's a newer, better style so maybe there's some bugs he's working out. Regaurdless his email will still work. Is yours supercharged?

Nope I have an NA and I don't plan on top swapping. I just want the Improved tranny points and mpg and a code tuned out
Edit I also don't have his email. Probably would have to wait I little longer anyway like more money coming in but I wouldn't mind figuring stuff out
