Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

It is nice when you can get school funding, its even better when someone else pays for it.

Btw Vipey I thought I saw you yesterday in W. Lafayette. I guess it could have been another Silver GA but it looked like yours. I know thier are many many GA's in that area seen some realy rice rims on one.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

well.... the RSM 62mm throttle body and dr. speed CAI is de-modded :|

looks wimpy now lol,

I was going to re-use my K&N filter but that thing was filthy!... and it wouldnt fit over my MAF... grr so I had to use the new filter that I was... going to throw into selling

I also took off the little shiny 'heat shield' thing that I originally got when I got the new TB, the guy bought that too.. got it from PFYC.com when both were up for sell....

Tomorrow ill be polishing up the piping and cleaning everything off, car runs 'ok' I guess... no coolant leaks so far (had a tantrum with the TB coolant line ) I'm better now lol, looped that part.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Yeah Gir the K&N is a little tight on the MAF sensor but it will work.
After you clean it up and let it dry good, set the rubber part out in the sun. It'll soften up and allow you to push it over the MAF lip.

I also hate those coolant lines that run thru the TB. My SE has none, I cut off the outlets and welded it shut. I also hacked off the two connection on the TB(weight reduction lol). On my GT I just bypassed them, and this is what I think was causing me problems when I had air traped in the cooling system.

YEAH ! Its almost Friday !!

Well I couldnt see the overlays to far away. You were driving thru an intersection, I was to your left turning right. The only reason I noticed was the loud rubble from some subs and the exhaust rasp.

I'll have to check that out Gir!

I was in the SE...
Yeah a vette will set you back in the seat a little bit more then the GA's. With gas prices are lowering around here you can almost afford to drive a vette.
