Clear lense and shove a matchbox or fusion fog in them.

RETRO ALL TEH THINGS

It's raining today & this fell off;


Now I hear a clunk noise when I let off the gas. Yay.

one of the down falls of the open cone. mine has fallen off a few times. changed the clamps and it stays put now. aka hose clamps from the parts store, not home depot clamps from the fitting you bought.

Mine fell off once, never fell out of the bumper, thank god. I just bought so parts store clamps and used a ratchet to snug them down. Never a problem since...knock on wood.

Mines never came off, I feel lucky woo.

Time to tighten it up to make sure, lol.

I checked it the other day, its got a crapload of sand in it and dead insects so I need buy another one.

Dem cones should have a support bracket on the end.

^^^AKA big ziptie to the cross-brace.

The parts are from Lowes. I'm hoping the clunking noise was just wet TB & MAF and it goes away. <_<

Replaced my ignition switch after school today. Took me an hour and a half, not too bad. All gm columns come apart the same way lol. I now have a functioning blower motor again, feels good to be warm.

Also realized my right rear window isn't going down.....Dims the lights but doesn't move, didn't look into it any further.

Well no wonder you car seems so slow. I kid, we're still N/A.

I'm seriously going to start getting prices for a complete L67 with everything on it. Supercharger, all pullies, icm, TB, etc. I'm assuming around $450 ish depending on miles, looking for under 120k. You just need that, swap the L36 flex plate on it, and swap the engine. Then order a cannned pcm for the purpose($200?) (l67 with 3.29's) and bam I can go s/c in a days time.(or maybe I can send a pcm to a member here to just swap l67 tables in for a bit cheaper. I can do the junkyard trick, pull an airbox and pay for an airbox. Ohh what's inside? a pcm lol) Hopefully all for under a grand, I'll be happy. Of course who knows if that used motor needs gaskets, if so add $200. If I can get all quotes, I'd be up for it. Good thing I really haven't put much money into my engine, just vc gaskets and elbows. Oh but my trans....yeah it will surely die if I get a lead foot with an L67. The mechanical internals are healthy I'm sure, it's the pressure issues that would kill it. I should order a professionally remaned/upgraded valve body from tep. Welp that's over a grand now...worth it.

Finally got some pics of my retro's output. They looks like the angle down on both sides after about 10 feet, but no matter what I do it happens. I'm not worried about it. They're straight where it counts. From the pics it looks like I could bring them up a bit if I wanted. I'm happy where they're at now, but I might bring them up if I'm bored some day.

She can be sexy though...

I think dsmuts will have a blown l67 here soon i think if you wanted to top swap over motor swap. I just need to get my hv3 in and do a 2.5" or ubend delete and I'll be happy. I figure if i want a SC car I'll get a Regal or a bonnieville

Felt the ABS pulsating on the drive home. Stopped at the store to grab something, let the ABS go crazy, now the ABS and TRAC lights stay on. Good thing it is supposed to rain for the next 2-3 days so I can't look at it.

Russo the u-bend delete helps noticeably, you will like that.

So is this thread about to break the forum? Its pretty big.

My GTP has not had any more episodes of dropping out of first on quick stops but haven't driven it too much since it first did. The new battery made a diff though. Had a valuecraft from when I got the car in it, I put a juicy 78 series Super Start in it and BAM she cold starts before you can back off the key. No idea how old the other bat was but I zapped it leaving lights on. Thats a hazard of the disabled chime I reckon. Actually went to buy a dash cam today but ended up not. Soon.

^^^good point, maybe a new thread should be started...
