Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
Well it's not what I did to my car, it's what is being done to car today. At lunch heading to see MSpeed to get boost pressure and compression test done, change to one stage colder plugs then on to the dyno for a full tune. Hoping for 300 to 310 whp. Let's hope for the best. I know i am in good hands with Vince

Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
Not Today; couple weeks ago, but never got around to post it.
CorkSport Strut Bar installed. It's amazing how light that strut bar is.

JBR SSP, Shifter Bushing and Knob installed. Much better shifting, but I think I need synthetic fluid now.

On the dyno at APH? v231 ots maps? I'm sure you'll pick up a bit, especially because from what I've seen the APH dyno reads a bit high compared to 1.01 CF in VD, best of luck.

And as for me not only did I spent 2 hours cleaning the inside and out of the car I hit up the wreckers and found centre cup holders, shift boot, shifter knob and a new latch for my centre console. Guy detailed the entire car before scrapping it lol.
Oops was under the impression that these were gt light from the 05 model as I'm almost certain that year didn't have the l.e.d.s yet. And for the trunk the lights and a few other parts 150

That you are correct. The 04-06 GT had the clear tails but there is a difference in them from the 07-09 Gx-gs tails. The turn signals is all orange on the GT ones but like the ones you got its got a clear turn signal if you understand what I mean. But hey that's not a bad deal at all.

I know what you mean about the tails and the difference between to two. And yeah I think it's a great deal for me because I got the same color trunk and ZERO rust around the third brake light lol
Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
Ok well her are the numbers and due to the weather we did not fair as good on the dyno. So initially on dyno day my car pulled 272whp and 343 lb torq. Today weather was against us and the base pull was 250 with 320 lbs torq. So down again due to humidity. By end of tune we got 290 whp and 260 lbs torq. We are confident that on a less humid day we will be over the 300 whp mark. Hopefully another dyno day in sept to test that theory out http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/26/avu8evav.jpg
Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
And only 289whp really ;) lol
Still, some good gains and definitely being a hot/humid day sucks the power out of these cars quite quickly. On a cool day (nice dense air), 300whp shouldn't be a problem.

Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
Got my Passenger side motor mount replaced (again)...
I dunno if my first replacement was faulty from the start, but this latest one makes a WORLD of difference... can barely feel or tell that the car is on unless I pedal down heavy.
Quite amazing.
Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
Want to thank Brian at APH and a MASSIVE thanks to Vince at MSPEED for the work on my car today

Re: What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
Replaced the rear end links today. Wanted to go stiffer on rear sway bar and stock ones had stripped hex hole. Had to cut them off to replace them.
