the quarters are completely covered in deadener and in some spots even 2 layers thick lol. Im ordering mores and going to go 3 layers thick in the trunk and 1 layer thick every where else.

lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz.

Car looks great, love the color combo along with the wheels and tint! I can get my wing to flex like that too, these impalas get loud pretty easily...

With 130k miles on the clock, you may want to go ahead with doing a coolant flush, making sure the plugs and wires have been changed, ONLY go with AC Delco as these cars like to misfire with any other plugs/wires, on the 3.8 the UIM/LIM (Upper intake manifold, lower intake manifold) gaskets tend to go bad, and the coolant elbows should be replaced too. If you do a coolant flush, don't re-fill with dexcool, change to the green coolant instead.

Otherwise I LOVE the car....you should look around junkyard for junkd impalas with leather interior / heated seats! They're great...

Yeah I'd expect to have to change a coil or two before you hit 200k. I had good luck with bosch plugs on ACDelco wires (YMMV) in my 3.8L Regal before it died at 255k. Yeah I agree, down with Dexcool, you need to change coolant at 30k no matter what. 5 years life spec for dexcool is a crock... no coolant keeps dirt out of the system and that's why you flush.

Teddy if I play my cards right, I won't be paying for the deadner. Yea I need to get a flush asap.

I like that, looks clean and classy.

Did you just replace the stock trunk lamp with a blue one? Looks crispy :drinks:

I replaced the bulb with a 20 SMD LED light strip from my local AutoZone. Thanks man, its amazing what a few hours of time can do, looks so much better now.

Got more work done today. Got my new alt installed, Voltage is ~13 @ idle W/O load and stays ~15 @ 1200 RPMS @ full tilt. Got my calipers painted orange to match the stripe. I also bough the "sport" cluster for my car that includes the Tachometer.

Pics.

mounted my SVMB inside my cluster when I did the swap. My car just shaved off 80,000 miles ;). I am having it reprogrammed.

I soldered my diode mod in today I'm only using one diode now. The new alt had a more voltage than the stock alt so I don't need two.
