Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
Hey gir, I know what you mean by having more options... They finally made the aeroforce compatible with the can bus port.. but what's the point when for a little more you GET MORE!! I just have to figure out a place to mount it.
Vipey: Each forum is different... Nothing compares to the AF's especially the G/a forum. I think I have a login at the gagt one and i have one with the g6 one as well... but i don't like going there... I dunno "they're different" ![]() Welcome back XI!!!! Hope you had a good couple days!

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
lol I asked about my tail lights on GAGT forums and everyone started making fun of me and eventually locked the thread. What a bunch of immature pansies. At least a couple of them tried to help!
I'm gonna bring them in and look at them after I get out of the shower, then watch a movie.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
That is why I hate buying used items with out some sort of warranty that the merchindise works.
You shouldnt have any problems with the melting & corrosion like the stockers, these tyc lights do leak though. PFYC even stated you needed to seal them with silicone to prevent any leaks before installing. Hopefully its just a connection/burnt bulb and not a broken light ![]() Fish-on!

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
Hey Vipey auto stores sell 3 different types of bulbs for the tail & turn signal. Not counting the LEDs.
They hav the standard 3156, 3157 then they hav a HD which is suposed to be good for rough driving and they hav another one, but I cant remember the actual name, but they are brighter. Thats what I've been using and they are much brighter then the standard bulb. Someone before me put 3157NA(amber color) in all my tails, and You couldnt even tell they were working freakin idiots!! ![]()

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
haha xero i'll have to look those up... I think I have 3156's and 7's in now. I'll have to see
![]() I just got back from hanging out with Purdue's automotive group. I was teh slowest car ![]() ![]() ![]() But still... god I wish I had boost and new engine parts on my GA... maybe I will do that so I can at least KEEP UP with them! I think with MMS stage 2 gear and spray I could get mid/high 13's, so definitely an improvement (assuming transmission holds up ![]() Yay tomorrow I head home to get stitches removed! taters!

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
engine noise I think, cause it's right before it shifts.
BTW I installed my tails... since it's dark I can't get any decent pictures, but I had my dad follow me (in his G6 GT... bastard lol) and test out the brightness and my visibility at night. He said they're pretty good but my tail lights need to be brighter (the ones that aren't the brake/turn signal/reverse/amber side lights). So my question is this: I think someone said something about HID bulbs for this, am I right? Is it possible to get HID bulbs instead of LED's? Because LED's require annoying fabrication. I'd have to get HID's for the tail AND brake lights since they share the same circular ring thingie. Thanks fellas ![]()

![]() BTW XI 3057 will work in the tails of a G/a Barely but it does. When mine was fixed after my last major accident with the car the repair shop put the wrong bulb in and it was a 3057... it was a little brighter then the others. tomorrow is Dashhawk day! I checked the shipping and it's already here in NJ!!! it's a little north of me at the sorting center.. but that mean tomorrow i shall have it.... ![]()

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
night time was fine, daytime was not. It needs to be significantly brighter or it's not going to work, and I'm talking about for every bulb. I had them in today and was going to take a pic but I didn't have my good camera, and now it's raining kinda so I don't want to do it now. I put my old ones back in at the moment. I'll see about HIDs or LEDs... but I'm just kinda worried they still wont be bright enough and I wasted all that money and I won't be able to sell them, which would blow
![]() trans fluid changed ![]() ![]() EDIT: around $200 for the P&P of the manifolds and around $60 or so for the TB... so that's WAYYYY less than buying. Wheee ![]()

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread
Ya Vipey just go check out the bulbs somewhere even autozone has the brighter bulbs for the tails/turns.
Their web site only shows 3157 and the 3157LL , I know thiers a third one thats brighter though ... I would also double check those contacts inside the housing. any corrosion will make them dim. Oh ya ! I was going to tell you guys I have put almost 4k miles on this trany and its holding up very very very very wellll ![]() Its wierd when I take off and have the wheels turned thiers a whining coming from that EP LSD, someone asked if that was the turbo-whine ![]() I wished ![]() And good luck with the mods Vipey.!!

did you get a look at the old fluid when it drained? some nasty sh*t!! lol ![]() I've been looking around at my local auto stores on prices for injectors... and they're all about the same?, I have my eye on a certain brand tho with MFi or w/e... the description made them sound very reliable and worth the buy... another nameless brand that I never heard of was $120 each.. ![]() I got a haynes manual for my 99, injectors dont look hard at all.. I just dont have a torque wrench ![]() has all the info of the 'correct' way, mostly what I'd do lol... it doesnt look hard at all.. I just need o-rings and a couple wrenches... My guess knowing my ability I could do all 6 2hrs max with everything done correctly... It said somethin in there about using motor oil to lube the injectors when putting them back in? ![]() Hopefully doing it sometime this week, just need money to buy the parts! ![]() btw, you guys need to invest in a xbox360 and forza motorsport 2... I've been all over that game tuning cars and such... the VW turbo Beetle isnt bad stock for a D Class,.... FWD AWESOMNESS!.. I might just buy one in the game and slap a lowering kit and some sway bars and do some ownage lol ![]() Quote:
