Gen V will wait for paint, port and polish until the Gen III is done. I will start on it Saturday, get it all cleaned up and start the cutting, Might start the LIM as well.

It has begun...

I've already got that thread favorited lol. I will be doing all of that to the L67 LIM, and some to the L32. But I will sell the Gen III once I prove that it works, and drop the Gen V and LIM in.

So I have unfortunately decided that this blower will serve me better as cash in the pocket, rather than on the car. Well, I didn't decide that, money/wife did. But I'm still go for the Gen V top swap. It will have to wait for me to finally "fix" the suspension, I'm actually thinking about going with just FE3 struts and SSC lowering springs.

Just ordered headers from Amazon, free shipping FTMFW!!!!! they're pace****ters, but WTH, can't beat free shipping to Alaska lol

Well enjoy having them all welded into a full rear piece + the crossover...only way they'll really work worth a sh1t.

Being N/A, I would have just got a downpipe...you're really in no NEED of headers anyway.

The blower cost less...I know

Lol I've got a few weeks before everything goes on, and I figured since it was so hard to find a plog right now, might as well go for the headers. And the shipping was just getting ridiculous, until I found these on Amazon. Lol

And the headers are on back order... fvck. lol too good to be true.

Cancelled the headers, Amazon said it would take more than a month before it even shipped.. So instead I'm going to put that money towards getting the suspension back into order.

Today I bought a new driver side axle, one of the cheap chinese ones just temporarily until after I get the rest of the suspension upgraded...
Then I'll upgrade to some nice ones, with some new hubs to go with. Lol

She's slowly getting back to cruising comfy.

Then you go dorman front sway/addco rear. BMR trailing/lateral arms then it'll handle damn good lol

Mmmhhhmmm... Lol I'm just mad that my deep 36mm socket isn't deep enough.

New axle makes a world of difference, but I've still got that ungodly noise every time I hit the slightest divot or even crack in the road, almost like something's rattling back and forth every time the suspension moves. Next thing to buy is strut mounts...

too bad I blew through my budget for this paycheck...because videogames. lol like I don't have enough things taking up my time.

45 bucks to fill er up for another 3 weeks lol

I did a thing...

I decided to ignore the directions. Lol



I also managed to remember to change the oil today. Also found out that an ACDelco PF52 oil filter will just barely fit. Lol

DISCLAIMER: I haven't buffed them yet.

is that a hole next to your maf? if so replace that tube, or at least smear some rtv over it to seal it off.

Fixed it. lol

I've been meaning to, just haven't found my black rtv yet lol. It's somewhere around here...

So since everyone else has vids of their cars, figured I'd post one up... I'm just saying, it's been recorded with a phone propped up by a hat. And, well......

Decide for yourself how terrible it sounds. lol I was trying to tease out the weird blub-blub I get when I let off the gas. Think it has something to do with the rusted out res and mufflers? lol

edit: you can hear the tick in the beginning, I had just had it running, looking for vac leaks. no leaks tho...

And yes, I know. I'm short and fat, but I can still out run more than half of y'all.

I bought the Dorman 33mm solid front sway today.
