The Maf sensor is different on the 97, it has a smaller hole it fits into compared to later years. I didn't know that because i never took it out. I got a one for the silver 01 it was also popping a code. i got lucky and found a 96 Buick with one i was going to get the SC off of it too but It looked pretty bad (the car had been sitting hood-less). That was the only supercharger i saw other than one car with EFS (engine fire syndrome). Not 1 good tail light and i only saw 2 coupes. No special edition anything only 2 engine-less GTPS and one burnt GTP, 13 97-03 cars and 11 04+. I saw a total of 7 EFS cars 6 Na 1 SC.. It was evident that faulty fuel lines were the cause of the fires. When i took my 97 in for the engine fire recall they made my valve cover leak. lol that's another story.

I prefer 111 instead of speedway, but both are decent.

Great video Guz.

Bandook, I use Surf City Garage glass cleaner. Works awesome!

I have went to 111 a few times. They have decent prices. I like u pick a part it is all pavement under the cars so you do not get all muddy. The prices are a little higher there but it is worth it not standing or laying in mud puddles trying to get parts.

so it truly is a BREAKER bar ...:th_laugh-lol2:

Scotty what have I done? smh I shoulda waited for you to edit that post but fired from the hip as usual. No Jim Nabors reference intended, bud.

I'm into the GT a little deeper today. Probably should paint the "IP carrier" (dash) before it goes back in. Anyway I'm just here pirating SIR parts for the GTP. Thats next, but the dadgum sun be creepin into my work area.

Do we need a dash removal walkthrough? The GTP is next, so I could produce one. Hoping the 02 dash will work in a 99.

Also... Anybody know if SEM color coat has a good match for my graphite interior? Have not looked yet.

Before going in, I had to re-re-re-fix door dragging on fender. Molding is so chewed up yep I put a screw there. It'll blend in better once I paint the head. Had to be a little mean to the fender but after two smashys it has an attitude already and thats all it understands.

This thing isn't getting any shinier sitting here and I'm still on the fence about that spoiler-

i like that spoiler more than i do the goofy flat stock spoilers.

I do like the spoiler better than stock, but I like the SLP Gen 1 spoiler better than both, lol.

One of the best reference videos on cleaning and prepping glass. Larry has some great videos.

got it washed at the car wash cause 5 bucks lol

messed with the tune. so far i like it.

Five bucks to wash your car it cost me $1.25 to pressure wash it

its a full touch auto wash, then a hand dry by 4 Mexicans. well worth the 5 bucks.

Apparently my post did not post, because it isn't here. So here we go again.

Painted more various brackets and stuff for my Stealth. Got the heads, oil pump, oil pickup, oil filter housing and oil pan bolted to the block too.

I just slapped my junk back together for now, but did pause to use up some few years old leather cleaner and conditioner after a scrub. It looked good enough to go back together but now I done sweated all over it so its a mess again. It won't look good long but probably would be nice again if painted. Didn't want to leave the car apart another day and it really doesn't matter.

Took a break to watch a Lone Ranger and it had Aunt Bea from Andy Griffith as Aunt Maggie, an evil, thieving, criminal mastermind. Always figured there was a mean steak in that lady, lol.

Worked on my brothers g6, got the lcas and ball joints in it, took for a spin, drove good.

Drove gp to go to town, regulator went out? Window was off track, was 1/2 inch down and then fell down, might be off track, ill take trim off tomorrow and see, was 30.72 when i looked online for a regulator with motor.

I am very close to setting my 05 grand prix on fire in the driveway

Then it would be worth nothing, right now you could get..something..right?

Junk i thought you drove around without a passanger seat

I do, thats the GT and the living room is completely filled with seats so it had to stay in the car. When I drove the GT daily, its seat was stashed. Try it sometime, feels WAY bigger inside with no seat there. Right rear seat becomes a lounge. Bonne-esque lol

Having a really frustrating morning. Spent too long in the heat yesterday and kinda feel yuck. No biggie there, but the neighbor dogs finally drove me to ring a doorbell (the one two houses down that wakes me every weekend, not the one across the street with a dang kennel that cops already visited) and gripe. I will never understand the sense of entitlement irresponsible dog owners have. Where does it come from? Other people can hear your dog! Jeez.

Also frustrated because I've spent enough time to rebuild a four barrel, just searching for accurate info about cleaning my GTP's throttle body. I've never even taken one off and have a list of unanswered questions that would choke a horse. The search feature here helps me maybe once in ten questions but this ain't one of them. Blows me away, man. Drain cooling system, WTF? I'm beginning to think half the gas mileage would be worth it to escape the retardedness of anything built with an "unleaded fuel only" sticker. Arg, these cars are a joke.

Sounds like a good reason for weight reduction haha, i never have passangers so its okay. Hell i bet it would be easier for my grandparents to get in and out without the seat there if they ever ride in my car. Trying to see one of them get into the backseat is a little amusing.

Its also a good way to keep the airbag out of passenger face. Just be sure they buckle up!
