Just get a short set to go from your HU to the knob, then your current ones go from knob to amp.

I've seen silver and it just looks like new calipers. I would say either way works. Just don't do what I did and use BBQ paint for the calipers. It holds up to the heat but not to road salt. I gotta redo them. I may or may not go silver I haven't decided yet.

There's a blue EG by me on white wheels (IDR if they were Slipstreams or TE37's) that is just SEXY! I want it lol

Honestly the EK's don't do anything for me. Love the spoon cars but I'm more an EG man

Intake? I've seen dozens. Not that hard bro. Only reason I haven't built mine yet is that there's kinda a batt in the way. http://www.gpona.com/forums/do-it-yourself-f12/fwi-write-up-no-cutting-required-t17087.html They even have a writeup on that forum for Grand Prix's. Granted a truck isn't a GP but the fundamentals are the same.

Also check your PCV valve. I don't know about the L36's, but I know on the L67's they're crammed down in a corner where people like to forget about them until they fail. It's like a three dollar part. While you're at it a tune-up can help as well. Plugs wires filters etc etc. I noticed a bit of a gain with a CAI and mild exhaust as well, but if you're just looking to get back to stock mileage you won't have to go that far. 3.8's tend to sound cruddy with exhausts anyhow

So I really haven't been around much in a few months, but if you remember (doubtful) last time I was here I had started a temp-to-perm assignment working for Uline in a distribution warehouse, night shift. Well tonight is my last night there as a full-time temp. Starting Sunday I will be a permanent employee. I will be getting a raise, full benefits, 401k, tuition reimbursement...but most importantly, moar money for systems!! I already sent my KX800.4 out for repair, bought a Clarion EQ, and am going to buy some comps for my front doors, amongst other goodies. I'm excited to finally be doing something productive with my life, and I know that I am blessed to be making as much money as I am being 19 just out of high school TL;DR: I'm back, with a kickass job. Expect buildlog updates soon!

Need some better markers there bud I hoard wire too but I have like, a third of one of those tubs altogether lol.

Who said he wanted to be superfast? He just wants to do a little bit to make his truck better. Honestly I think bolt-ons like a CAI and an exhaust are great for any car, even just for the sound and mileage increase.

I'm not familiar with 5.3's but I know on most cars you can make your own intake for under $100 with a reusable cone filter and either some PVC piping and elbows, or some metal tube (like aluminium or stainless) and some silicone couplers. Then spend your money on headers and a cat-back, and get the truck tuned if all possible. Worst comes to worst, STS

Honda's are stupidly easy to maintain. Civic gets my vote!

I got a feeling those will beg for MOAR POWAR lol. When it comes to mids and highs, I have always been told more power is better than not enough. Just something to keep in mind.

Nvm ninja'd.

Ummm...what? :bull: OP, no to the soundstorm, sure to the MB. From what I've heard their amps are decent. Might be worth mentioning what speakers you have though.

I've heard lots of good things about remote turbo kits, especially on emissions cars. Never built one though so not sure how hard it would be.

Seems to me you should still be under warranty. Just take it into the dealer and raise Cain.

You would be fine running the 10w40 in summer as well, it is just a recommendation for warm weather running. FWIW when I didn't know any better I always ran 10w30 in my car, which requires 5w30. No oil-related issues there. If it was more than ten points or so I would say stick to it but 5 points really won't hurt.

Worst comes to worst you could always put a bead of superglue or something behind it to hold it in. Then again I haven't messed with these before so don't quote me, just throwin an idea out

And WI. And a bunch of other states as a matter of fact.

most mods like that require the LEDs to be removed and new ones soldered in. some with an additional resistor in them. need to know how to solder electrical boards, which isn't too hard. also getting to the parts. i'd recommend getting some junkyard ones if you can and practicing on them first Yes and no. Some cars use colored lights for the dash lights, some (like my car) used a colored filter. Only way to change the color is remove the filter, which in most cases, is built into the overlay. Thus, you have to either find a way to get a new one made (if that's even possible) find one on ebay somewhere, or look for other platforms with the same cluster, but different overlays (which is what I did.) Just gotta do some research. Honestly though, if it's an older car, get a junkyard cluster for like $30-50, crack 'er open, and give it a shot. Worst comes to worst, you muck something up, put it back together, and take it back and say "hey it don't fuggin work!"

Idk how I would feel about being a firefighter. I mean, when you get a call, I'm sure you're excited to do the job you trained for and all, but at the same time, you gotta feel for the people involved, especially in house or vehicle fires. All the same, congrats on your first call going well. Keep up the good work keeping people safe!

Um...I would just get a tune. Much less headache and plus then you can get other tuning done for more power while you're at it. You're also gonna need to figure out pedals, clutch master cylinder and reservoir, find some way to make the manual NSS work (IIRC it's not in the shifter it's in the trans) and maybe even modify the trans tunnel. As for just leaving the stock shifter in neutral, besides what I mentioned about the neutral safety switch, then you wouldn't be able to remove the key I believe (mine can only be pulled in park, not neutral.)

You could build a bigger box in the trunk.

Don't use the E3 plugs, they are garbage and have been traced to burnt pistons in some cases.

its outta the gtp. and ive been talking to ppl on therangerstation.com and found out there are 4x4 trannys that will bolt to it. so its going in and im gonna do some mods on it first. underdrive pulleys better pulley for the supercharger heads and a mild cam. its gonna scream. If you do UDP it will also underdrive the blower. I would concentrate on breathing first and foremost. If you're using the GTP PCM it will pull timing like mad even totally stock. You will want headers for sure, a cold-air intake for sure, and then think about dropping a pulley size. Also while you have the motor out make sure to change the lower intake mani gaskets. The dex-cool GM used in these cars eats the shit out of them. Spend the extra coin for the aluminum ones so you can forget them for the life of the car.
