Driving a Pontiac G6 couple. BLOWS.

This past week I cranked out a bunch of small stuff on my car.

New motor mounts
Heat wrap on exhaust manifolds
Blitz Throttle Controller
Seafoam engine cleaning
new wire separators in the bay

The wire separator thing was because I have hard plastic clips holding both wires and hardlines to the firewall and over the years (and heat cycles) they have become brittle and started to break. Found these nice cushy silicone separators from Spectre. There are two against the firewall and one next to the battery compartment.



Guess I gave my baby some love before letting her sit for a week while I'm traveling. ]]> jumbosrule http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=310 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=309 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:33:38 GMT Had a check up recently and everything is still in place, I couldn't be any happier.

I actually feel normal, like nothing has ever happened to my right hip.

There is a weekly I try to go to in Clearlake on Saturday nights, but it's tough to get out there. Saturday is a popular going-out night for me and my wife. So I was hoping for something on Sunday and viola! HI delivers just when I needed it most.

Looking forward to meeting the metro tuner community and especially interested in checking out any other VQ platforms in the area.

I bought my car new in 2004 but had never turned a wrench, automotively speaking. I have a workshop and I'm an engineer, so I've always been down for tinkering. Just never had the cash to do it until more recently in life.

So now I'm under the hood, reading tons and I have a TT goal for my car. I totally understand what my car is and what it is NOT. I will never make this into a drag car, though I might track it for fun. I just want the things I love about my FX to be... bigger and better. Most of the mods I have made have done exactly that for me. Some of them have not and I had to go back to OEM or try something different. Part of the learning experience and all of it is so much fun. Taking my time with the big stuff. The install shop is SO important, as is the tune. I want reliability and longevity with the power I give this FX. I won't ever take supercars or even most high end cars. But I gaurantee I'll be a sleeper that will suprise the crap out of more than a couple people. ]]> jumbosrule http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=308 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=307 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:29:28 GMT just to make sure:facepalm: just to make sure:facepalm: ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=307 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=306 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:29:02 GMT Tanx for beeen patience with myself Tanx for beeen patience with myself ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=306 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=305 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:28:23 GMT 24 on the way baby!!!! 24 on the way baby!!!! ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=305 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=304 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:27:56 GMT to more posting and am done forever to more posting and am done forever ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=304 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=303 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:27:29 GMT ok welll 3 more ok welll 3 more ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=303 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=302 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:27:07 GMT ok 4 more to go and i should be able to post on the for sale ok 4 more to go and i should be able to post on the for sale ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=302 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=301 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:26:29 GMT ok am oon the 20s already ok am oon the 20s already ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=301 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=300 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:26:07 GMT wuz up vatos am close now wuz up vatos am close now ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=300 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=299 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:25:31 GMT hello folks hello folks ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=299 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=298 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:24:08 GMT ok am getting closer to 25 ok am getting closer to 25 ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=298 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=297 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:23:45 GMT ok i didnt find anything to eat....sucks:Ohnoez: ok i didnt find anything to eat....sucks:Ohnoez: ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=297 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=296 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:18:51 GMT well am gonna go eat ill try to finish later well am gonna go eat ill try to finish later ]]> djautomatic2009 http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/blog.php?b=296
