  1. I'll either be towing a bike rack or a couple of go karts, nothing to much for the SS. Had you did any mantaince to the power train recently? I'm trying to see what i need to catch up on. I'll be doing the engine oil soon, but i wanted to know if the ATF and transfer Case fluid have been replaced. Is it still running the stock Spark plugs?
  2. lol, yea i got it up to 14.8mpg driving around 270 yesterday. Most of my driving is to work and thats what the Mazda is for. The SS is just for during the weekend and family trips so its not a every day thing.
  3. Yes i did...small world. i really like the car so far. I don't plan on going crazy with it. Just that exhaust mod. Nice trade with the TL-S, you get a Auto or Manual?
  4. Thank you, i'm just waiting to do some snow dougnuts.
  5. As it been stated it has two mufflers so its not a straight pipe. Start up and idle are just a mild deep tone. Crusing theres no drone at all, and its very quiet. The only time it gets loud is when my lead foot start acting up. So its very civil (when it needs to be!) lol, yes i did. This is my family hauler, the kids don't ride in the other car.
  6. I've been wanting something i can do some light towing with, and had more cargo space than my cali. I was looking at a Ford Edge or a Volvo XC70. i ended up with this..... 07 Trailblazer SS AWD! http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/d845785d.jpg After all the youtube videos i had to make a quick trip to the muffler shop to get rid of the muffler. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/28ff60d8.jpg Out it goes http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/1264b375.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/7541ac7a.jpg In goes the straight pipe http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/28599e48.jpg Sounds like it should now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTUwFWzG0Rk for right now i don't have any performance plans for it.

  8. Sorry i missed it. I had to work in the house today. Maybe next time.
  9. In interested, will they run both lots since the small lot was re-resurfaced?
  10. I've been to two events so far, but couldn't make it today. Getting car setup to AutoX tomorrow and had house work to day. I should be there next weekend.
  11. lol, the Bam M. "hive five" was awesome.
  12. Agreed, thankfully were finally getting some of the tech and design queues they've kept overseas.
  13. The body style is nice, and the new SRT motors will have a bit more beef to them. I really like the GCSRT but they are expensive.
  14. 215?#$%.....I think that chip is a flux capacitor. If they were that Bad ass they'd go for a premium when they auctioned them off, but they don't.
  15. yea it was...horrible...just horrible.
  16. Saw a C5 with a bad C1 conversion and made me want to spew. I have to see if i still have the pics.
  17. Yea i get it too. As i get older i'm wanting more a car that is fun to drive and not a hassle to own.
  18. Since we don't have snow on the ground all the time here i'm getting just some good A/S tires with a tread pattern good for winter. My Cali has snow tires so on it so when the snow does fall i'll just take the cali out, no need for two sets of snow tires. I'd take you up on the wheels for autox if i didn't have some light 17's already.
  19. I'll let you know what i do, but i'm probably going keep them and use them as my dedicated winter tires. I'm probably no going to burn up all the stock rubber on my tires and i'm not using them again next year. So i'll probably be selling them.
  20. Nah, brooksedge. Yea they were very similar, but i think the rx8 were taller. I'm looking to swap the stock wheels out with 18x8 next year.
  21. Actually i don't think i've hit any cones this year. Which is part of my problem i need to get closer. i'll be running again this weekend so i'll get more practice.
  22. LOL yea that's me. I guess sometimes look opposing. Yea I was surprised.
  23. I work in westerville I take 270 to work.
  24. Stock they are pretty quick. With the stage 1 it pulls like hell. Stock I dyno'd 271 HP 302tq. I haven't dyno'd it with the stage 1 yet.
