Tinted the GXP's turn signals. On the fence about it.

Trying to upload photos but Photobucket crashes & Picasa is acting sketchy, & our photo uploader doesn't work too well on mobile devices.

It was good. Learned a lot and met a bunch of people. Got to put some faces to voices that I've talked to a bunch so that was nice.


On Monday I will be picking up a OBD scanner for my car that will work with my phone. Yay! :thumbup:

Drove it for a good hour in city/freeway. Had to take off quick to get into some rush hour traffic and got some wheel spin accelerating with the wheels straight forward. Still noticing the trans pressure drop after a while. The shift kit makes the 1-2-3 shifts better(still slower when hot, but much better) but I can tell the TQ converter lockup is way too slow. The trans cooler I installed is either too small or it needs to be remounted so it's at the bottom of the condenser. It's behind one of the grills right now which may not be enough air. I bought new mounting pins so I'll start by re-positioning it. I'd like to just replace my Pressure Control Solenoid and be done with it.

Drove to work anddddddd


Beautiful ain't she .

Aww man that must have been a comforting thing to experience while driving... Was it even cracked or dry rotted before?

I thought about washing it, but a bad headache that lasted almost 8 hours squashed that idea.

Cleaned her up and took her to a car show. Saw my old auto mechanics teacher that I haven't seen in 10 years.

The part # is in the picture and is 15238632. It's probably around $5

Got an alignment and drove it today.. A lot of pointless driving today lol.

so.
i bout a 'new' maf today.
car is still broken.
showing the same symptoms as the last maf.
i'm keeping it unplugged until i can figure out whats going on.
a friend of mine mentioned that i could have a bad o2 sensor. do you think that might be it too?

Or the wires to the MAF are borked.

connector and the wires are clean as a whistle


i'm not sure why this keeps happening ever since i put that ported throttle body on..
the way i see it, it could be the tune, or maybe its the fact that the (new) MAF i put in, was from a buick LaSabre in a JY, or that it's something else in the car thats eating them up like this??

i'm at a loss.
but until this is resolved i've been forced to drive it w/o the maf plugged in.
yolo.


lol

took delivery of the new car!

Then gave it a quick wash
