Why not CCWs? I like the forgeline's as well anyway, can't go wrong with quality wheels.

things that make you go o' god. The skills that it took to do that should've been put to better use.

Oh god, oh well he made it in.

I honestly have been asked to leave spots like that before, but never ticketed. Could I have been? Sure, but cops typically don't press street racing when it's being done away from the general public such as some spot out of the way where there is little to no traffic. However you are always taking a risk and there will eventually be that cop who has a beef about it.

Just sounds like you tried to get into a game without knowing how to grease the wheels. Sorry to hear you got the short end of the stick, but if you didn't have the connections or provide the right kickbacks you got screwed. Shitty.

A well deserved award for a dedicated fanatic with a very fine example of a car.

Should be there, but it'll be another week before I can participate in the car part. FML

Next week for sure. I will not be stuck in the house next weekend.

This would make a nice tat as well. Congrats on yours. It says a lot.

I was looking for that gif. It is funny but is really borderlined rule breaking. Please keep the racist comments to a minimum.

because custom.

Works for me.

Well that would be fine and all, but unless I get to unhook your boost controller and put a 1 pound spring in the wastegate I don't think that'll be very interesting. That is no kind of answer. Can I put the car on kill and see what happens? That is pretty much what I plan on doing. I'm ready to build another drivetrain but this one still works

1. bought a spot 2. dug some shit up in my basement 3. going to tune up the car a bit 4. in good old CR fasion I'm calling everyone out So even after I help out my friends with their cars, Anthony, Wagner, I intend on being the fastest CR mod or admin there. Wagner, want to wager which car I go faster in, mine or yours? Anthony, want to see who can go faster on a 10 bolt? You have yet to beat me in a heads up race anyway. Want to try again? BC, are you going to show up? I'm sure I'll get booted anyway for not having a bar, but I'm taking all comers.

Since you guys brought it up I just want to say that the 97-98 PCM as used in the Vette and f-body is simply different because the harness and pinout is different from the 99+. The PCM must use a different operating system because of this and is why the support wasn't there at first. The PCM hardware itself isn't much different physically at all, just a slightly smaller memory iirc. A few sensors on the engine are different as well, with the coolant temp being the most obvious. As others have mentioned there really is no reason to avoid a 98 other then nice ones are hard to find. GLWS.

If you're just looking for a block why limit yourself to an LQ9? There are a few of RPO code 6.0L iron blocks depending on what you're doing. I just don't want you to miss something because you didn't broaden your searching enough. LQ4 and LQ9 is the same block for those that don't know, only difference is the pistons (flat tops and dished), I actually have an LQ4 block in my car.

Sounds like you're off to a great start. You really just need someone with a GM login and access to an MDI (module diagnostic interface, GM's flash tool). I know there are some people out there in the aftermarket with the ability to reprogram, but I don't know any places like that offhand. It can be flashed with a Tech2 if someone has all the cables and internet login, but most people don't do it that way. Typically flashing is done with a newer type interface, either a dealer style or aftermarket. Aftermarket stuff for programming is out there it's just not a typical shop tool in most shops. Even if you have it done at the dealer I would only expect them to charge you a half hour of labor, of course most advisors will start by trying to get you for the full hour and my response would be that book time is only 4 tenths and see their reaction.

sure welcome new guy, got any pics of your bikes you can post? we'd like to see something.

That doesn't mean every bank will have that answer. Especially when they do lots of auto loans.

I'm thinking that was optional with 8.1, at least on the 3/4 ton Silverado, so thats very possible.

I don't like krautwagons, sorry. and why is this locked?

If it's fuel injectors you'd need GM's scan tool to do a flow test. If it was an issue they may have created a special policy to extend the warranty on the effected parts. I'm not sure about any of that since I never really saw many 2.4L ecotecs (not common compared to the 2.2L) You may want to contact the dealer with the VIN and tell them you may have this issue is there anything still covered for the car. If they quickly tell you know call someone who will run the VIN and give you the status of the car. Besides that it's not very far out of powertrain warranty you might be surprised what happens if you bitch loud enough. Otherwise I would be checking the injectors, and without a proper scan tool to test them in the car you'll be taking them to somebody to bench test them. I've never had to send any out for this, and I don't work at a GM dealer anymore to offer much more help. If somebody has access to a tech 2 it's a 5 minute test with the scanner and a pressure gauge.

Wow, 8.1s are not all that common, and I've never seen one with a whipple on it. I think its a neat truck even if it does get horrible gas mileage. Take it to the dyno.
