just thought ide make my own thread of my cars transformation, from the time i got it, mods, and the troubleshooting along the way. so here are some pics of the car shortly after i got it this past november.
i got rid of that dumbass budweiser sticker in the rear window, but i put a SLP performance banner in the rear window that i had left over from my Trans AM days, its red and looks better anyways, my own lil touch
current mods are as follows and are also listed in my sig:
when i bought the car:
dry cone filter
new fuel pump
160* t-stat
msd 8.5mm wires
flowmaster muff's w/ stock res, not sure of the series
AL 606's xd iridium's
cat delete (i later found out)
MTX speakers and deck
later found out the car was in a fire....yaaaaa gunna have to get some pics of the engine bay, ill make that its own section here.
Since ive had the car:
solid motor mount
flipped dog bone bushings, motor is solid as a rock now
AL 606's double platinum's
SD headers
Ported SC (had a ported tb but sold it thinking it was causing ny fuel trims to be all outa whack and causing it not to kick into PE)
EGR delete
Sold my gr-2s thinking I was gunna sell my car because of the fuel trim problems, regret doing that.
new coils
lifetime warranty plug wires
replaced all vacuum lines
Tinted tails
soon to have a 3.5
new MAF
New map
Fixed my back seat problem
Adjustable TPS mod (worth while and very cool)
Sunpro boost gauge
Future mods:
modded 1.9 rockers- at the same time of this im going to replace the valve seals cuz i can and install ls6 orange springs with ls6 retainers and locks with re-usable rocker bolts
and pretty much a complete suspension rebuild with "stock replacement" parts or in our terms, slight upgrade with some GMPP pieces, dorman pieces, POLY things, slight drop, better tires.
In need of:
Rearview mirror- (mine is discolored)
Paint job
New tires
Wheels
Suspension pieces
More money
currently trouble shooting:
heater short- pulled fuse for driving lights, blower works now. Wierd
PE fueling problem- was trying to work this out for a few months and low and behold do a 3 hour road trip and problem is gone. Weird
Another missfire problem- fixed- bad maf and map and vac lines
Need a new cv shaft
driver side window is off its track so i have a board pried into the door to hold it up, idc.
pics to come
. noticeable increase in throttle response and the motor is getting way more air over stock. this isnt a mod that you can feel a huge difference in overall power but the assometer can tell a bit. IMO, worth the 80 bux
