If this turns out well I may have to redo my intake again. (I didn't wet sand it)
washed car
vacuumed car
wiped entire interior down with meguires detail wipes
touched up a few scratches with scratch repair
polished car and rims
waxed entire car
all of this was done at a friends garage while it was sunny and hot then it poured rain. But him being a good friend he let my TA stay in the garage while his olds 442 sit in the rain. We are both in the car show tomorrow. with me luck!
ran it on some portable dyno today at the car show. 301hp 426tq. Not sure whats going on there? Average was 246hp 365tq. With an auto with 3200 stall and 2.73 gears. Never been on a dyno but was expecting a bit more. At least 320 or 330 hp. Oh well. Time for the turbo to get underway lol
Yea its a factory 10 bolt with an Eaton posi and 410 gears, just weeping a little, thats the 3rd rear end to be in the car-according to the previose owner, appears to be an earlier model judging from the e-brake brackets, i could be wrong tho! i love the blue car pics above and the red one is sweet too.
Drove to a few local 4th parades today, and ordered my first mods from Speed Inc...an SLP airbox with their high flow filter.
Yesterday met up with a friend of a friend who has a 2000 WS6, took the following photos...

That is exactly what we thought...where is a NMB when you need one?Quote:

Have two new ones in my basement I bought to stock up a while ago.
Now just trying to get it off the line. (soaking in WD-40) buying PB blaster later when the wife gets home.
Haha I can supply beads! But anyways, I am thinking of getting this aftermarket hood made by VFN, the wsq hood and selling my GM ws6 hood. What do you guys think? This is the hood:Quote:

VHT'ed all the marker lamps, 3rd brake light, turn signals, and reverse lights. Replaced all bulbs mentioned except the turn signals with ST versions. Then I'm now in the process of finishing the "Turtle Wax Black Box." I'll post pics once it's all done. Hope it turns out alright :P
:lol: if you want it when I buy that other hood it's yours depending on how much you'll pay for it.Quote:

+1 They do look sharp.
Wish I could tell ya man, car came like that off the dealership. All I do know is the shocks/struts are still the stock (decarbon?) orange ones. I'm assuming the springs were cut, but how much I couldn't tell ya. I love the ride height though. Does it look alright? Or when I finally get the actual set up should I go lower or higher?Quote:

Yeah It looks pretty sick. I contemplated doing the tail lights and/or fogs too but I like the fog lights... and the tails lol. I didn't want a stereotypical murdered out car, just wanted to get rid of the orange/red markers mainly because they ruined the flow. The 3rd brake light looks better black imo for the wing and the reverse... well that was a toss up. Idc either way :P.Quote:

I mean usually they were that orange color but now it's a deep deep red and only in the center kind of. A co-worker of mine after the closing shift saw me hit my lights and his exact words were "Dude that looks evil." lol.
I finally got my car back from my mechanic, had a vacuum leak fixed that I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Also,insurance fixed my shifter because the tow truck driver messed it up, although I was kinda hoping the transmission would have been screwed up so I could get a performance built one and the insurance would basically pay for it :lol:. Then I washed my car, it had greasy finger prints all over it. I'll post up pictures later. I still need to figure out where this weird electrical whine like noise is coming from, it only happens when I slightly put my foot on the gas, if I lay off it stops and if I push more it stops. It's kinda weird.
where was the leak?
Also anybody know that if you polish the clear coat on FRC's will the vinyl lettering still stick to the paint? I'm almost done clearing them and not sure if I should polish or leave alone.
The gaskets weren't on totally right. I would imagine they wouldn't stick, because when you put vinyls on you are suppose to clean any dirt,wax, or grease off. You could polish it after the vinyl is on or clear coat over the vinyl and then polish it.Quote:

Torque arm with DSL, an updated Frost Tune, Updated Knock sensors, repaced the fragile OPSU my fat fingers broke.....I think that's it
The intake gasket. Here's some pictures of it washed, sorry it is really sunny.Quote:

Purchased an AC Delco battery. The ugly green Interstate finally crapped out on me.
Believe someone wanted to see what it looked like with the lights on in a different thread so, just postin' these :).

Got my SLP lid and hi flow filter from Speed Inc today. Got it all installed, and wow...I could really tell a difference. Great mod for a little over a $100 (with the filter and shipping.) Also put a white "Trans Am" and bird logo on my rear panel...looks really nice with the arctic white paint. Coming soon, blue blackbird stripes.
i didn't bother with any kind of fancy filter with my lid. just keep a clean one in there and it should be almost the same. I would recommend going to home depot and getting fernco coupling in place of the factory accordion bellows. cheaper than the SLP 60 dollar job and gets the same thing done.
It was 20 bucks as an add on to the lid...I was going to have to get a new one soon anyway so it was a no brainer. Is there much advantage to the coupling?
SLP claims 6hp for their smooth bellows. I paid less than 6 bucks for the coupling at home depot. so under 1 dollar per hp.... heck even if it's only 2hp its a better value than most upgrades. Might need to cut it and work it to make it hold right since it's obviously not made for it. Works great on my car because i have solid mounts so the engine physically can't move. no need for a flexible middle lol.
Alright, I'll look into it. Is there a specific diameter I am after?
Just got back from Virginia Beach and went out and started her up. She sounds soooo much better than my dad's Audi A6...
Hey fellow Hoosier. You got that right about a proper American V8, or any V8 for that matter. Need to tell your dad to get a G8 GT! Anyway, have you checked outQuote:

Nice!!!
TLS and I will be at Beaver Springs this Saturday running the cars if you are interested.
Wish i could Jeff, I have to work all day Saturday.
Me and my hubby went to DQ for a frozen sweet treat, then off to conquer some TN backroads. WS6+curvy mountain roads= huge ass grin on my face :D
Wrapped up Motor mounts, Headers, CAI, ORY and AIR Delete. Hopefully finishing up the Cat Back soon.
Its an appearance mod IMHO. Not much to gain, if anything.Quote:

Played with the Mazda rental pretending it was my T/A. Thank god it has a slap stick and can hit in excess of 150. Not so 'Thank god'.. it gets the same mileage as my T/A with only 4 cylinders.
Hey.. I guess we can call LS cars 'economy cars' now since that's what they list an '11 Mazda3 as?
On topic..
Finally got Fed Ex tracking to find my WS6 stick. I'll give them the benefit of it being prepped to ship on a sunday. Also hammering out details for new filler panel decals on my bird to match my new old OEM stock Sport Gold door emblems.
Damn miracle that I found some, another that the local dealership was able to track a set down and have them drop shipped to the body shop. o_O
I understand about the drive. We did have Basham drive up from Southern IN, it took him a bit under 3 to get to Indy. Also had BlackTAWS6, he is from Palitine IL, just over the border.Quote:

For my '68 Le Mans, I tested/painted a Pontiac hood tach, to install this week.
maybe i picked up a 1999 Formula, 6spd, hardtop and then again, maybe i didn't...:wall:
I got my FRC's done finally. Put the lettering on last night. Thx Afterthoughts Auto.
I've letting them sit over night to make sure they stick before I throw them under the hood. I did have one small issue. On the passenger side I guess I didn't cut enough of the FRC like others have done and the strips that were sent didn't go all the way to the back of the cover. I'm short by 3". Once installed you can't see them easy, but I know it's there (well now so those everyone else :sillyme:)
I also got my new shift knob installed and my new etched fuse box covers (emblem pros) are on the way. :woo:
I'll post pics after install.
Pics?Quote:

I flipped the switch to the air compressor for the horn, waited 2 minutes, and let the wife hit the horn while I stood in front of the car. GOD DAMN...I never realized how loud that thing is...I don't think I need a replacement :lol:

I lent my WS6 to my dad today, so I could take his Buick in to work and fix it. First time he's driven a stick shift in 15 years or more, I'm sure. He said he was gonna go pick up chicks :lol:
Loaded it in the trailer so we can head to the track this weekend.
Scott, if your question is directed to me, I plan to give it a little "sswt00ss" treatment and then try to flip it. it needs a few little items, but it's a very solid car. honestly, i'd love to keep it, put a TA hatch on it and then the modified spoiler i worked on thats up above the garage. no matter what it will stay stock except for maybe a hurst shifter and catback.Quote:
