Specifically Aerocatch, if possible. I'm buying a carbon fiber hood and would like to add them at some point but taking a dremel to a ~$800 hood makes me pretty nervous. Times that by 34523 with the thick curves and little space of the Sonic hood. Any thoughts on this appreciated.
Please and...
Some idjit hit my car and all the body shops have a 3 month wait time so I'm going to fix it myself.
Parts list, passenger side:
White fender
Fender liner
Parts list, center:
Seibon CF hood - Vented preferred, but I'll take either for the right price
Bumper cover, white
Upper grill -...
So I got a sick deal on a snow performance stage II MAF kit with other goodies and have some questions for those that have already done this or know more about water/meth than me.
Background: I'm running Trifecta Full Legacy and plan to keep my tune non-meth dependent (IE I run out of juice...
Anybody experience shuddering in first when driving their car on a cold morning? I have no problem shifting gears but letting on the clutch in first I almost feel like I'm lugging it. I would guess it's because of the cold gear oil in the transmission. If I wind it up more before shifting I...
I'll start. On Monday I replaced my front inner fender liner in both wheel wells after I chewed up the originals by driving without my bumper on. I also added the missing underbody cover and finished grinding down the intake manifold.
And then yesterday afternoon:
This will be the second...
Now this could all just be in my imagination but......Ever since I tuned my car a year ago I never quite fell like the power was consistent, particularly on the low end. However it was always just a feeling and never something I could really pin down, so I'll try to describe best I can.
Most...
So after reading the spark plug gap thread I decided to check mine. Unfortunately, my spark plug socket was too wide to finish the job but I did check the coilpack and #2 and #4 (IIRC) had the springs bound up. Poked it with a screwdriver and all was good. Since then my throttle response has...
If you could regularly (and legally) drive your Sonic over 100mph on the highway, what mods would be a must? Aside from the obvious (tune, intake, exhaust, etc). I'm thinking better tires and maybe upgraded brakes.
Thoughts?
Anybody have this happen? UG is showing 171 as a pending code that comes up every few days. I'm used to getting P0420 since I have yet to datalog/retune because of winter. I've checked/blown air on the MAF and couldn't find any leaks with the intake. Could this be related to the cold...
I took my bumper off to install the new MPfab intercooler and before putting it back on I went for a litte ride to make sure all was well. Well, like a dumbass, I couldn't keep a resonable speed and ended up destroying both front wheel well plastic covers after they got pushed against the front...
Just loaded up my tune from Trifecta and spent the last hour driving the piss out of my Sonic. (Like everyone says, tune == :eek::banana:) Anywho, once I had my share of speeding I started heading home when I noticed my car is now slightly pulling to the left. I'm usually quite perceptive...
So before I go break my car, I wanted to know if what I'm planning is a good idea since I have access to a lift on base. They also have a heavy duty strut machine. ;)
Front springs:
1. Lift car up
2. remove front wheels
3. a remove strut
4. use strut machine to switch springs
5. reinstall...
So I installed my ZZP a week ago and it freaking rocks. :banana:
I've noticed that the muffler vibrates quiet a bit (significantly more than stock) during the inital warm up phase. I just wanted to double check with you fine gentlemen to make sure this isn't something I should be concerned...
After reading up and doing my research I was under the impression that DDMWorks was a stellar vendor, based on what everyone has said. I really liked the heat shield for the intake. The cool logo was also a contributing factor. :cool:
I searched around and couldn't find a bad post about them...
