I did two wheels on the inside with the hypersilver and was disappointed it turned out greyish.
I ordered some high performance silver and just did a test spot on an old toolbox and compared the two.
The silver is silver with metal flake and the hyper silver is kinda grey silver with no flakes.
$hit, now i have to do the two wheels over, cuz that hypersilver ain't all that

Fun stuff! At least you didn't do all 4 lol

Hmmm. That is good to know. I will wait to see how they look with this other silver when you post photos.

Hey Scotty. I have a question for my fellow Regal owner. I was sitting in the car today with the engine shut off and noticed the DIC was reading 0.5psi of boost? I let it sit for 5 minutes or so and it still read the same. I pulled the key out and came back a while later and it still said the same thing. What could that be? Just a funky faulty sensor?

mine sits at 0.0 at idle, and while driving unless im into the gas. around town i see little spikes around 1.5 to 2.0 tops. <<<driving like a human that is.

maybe your map sensor is on its way out. or your cluster is just a bit off.

After I start the car is goes down to 0.0 but if I just sit there with the engine off it'll say 0.5. It's weird hah. Just thought I'd see if it's a common issue or anything.

on a cold start its at like 1000 to 1200 rmp's, so maybe thats why? ill have to check mine tomorrow morning, see if its up a bit.

i hardly look at the boost any more. i leave it on avg mpg. so i can frown at the low numbers.

I'm not really concerned about it. Just curious. And yeah I keep it on boost so I don't have to think about my mpg hah. It's at 20.3 right now I think.

If its helpful at all after I shut my car off Torque shows like .2 to .5 of vac.

Finally got my 52 registered and insured today

i swore at mine and punched the shifter after my tranny **** out on my today.... then i proceeded to swear at my GF because its her fault

Don't be that douche of a boyfriend.

all i do its local stop and go. so it sits anywhere from 11.0 to 14.5 most of the time. depends on how many times i floor it and for how long.

every time i go out i need to cross 3 lanes of thick traffic, and need to punch it and hold it into the gas past the 2 nd gear shift and longer sometimes to fight my way across. i got like a 1000 feet to work with lol

im sure that has a lot to do with my low #'s.

Yeah probably haha. I have an 11 mile drive to work and half of it is probably 65mph on a highway.
