The Chronic Sonic Story...

[TECHSONIC]

Hey all my fellow Sonic owners! Here are some pics of my '13 Sonic LTZ. Bought it off the showroom floor in '13. Didn't take too long for me to realize that there was a monster inside this thing, if only I could drag it out. I started with a K & N CAI. Then, added a Borla Cat Back. I found a sweet deal for chrome front grill inserts on-line. Ya gotta take the bumper cover off to do so, but it was worth it. Figured it could sound a little better, so I replaced the first CAT with a down pipe. Much Better! Then, I was tired of the little engine that could, but didn't, so off to Trifecta for the Elite tune. Mixed feelings on this tune, but overall, it made the car fly. Still waiting on WOT to clear up the connection issues I have with the whole cable thing from Trifecta so I can send back some logs and get it really flying.

So, once I had the car running as best as I could so far, I decided to dress up the engine bay some. Bought a DDMWorks Coil Cover, DDMWorks Hard Charge Pipe for the turbo in polished aluminum, and a DDMWorks Turbo heat shield. Also have the silicone coolant hoses in blue from DDMWorks, (I Like these guys, great stuff to be had!!) but haven't installed them yet. Still waiting on a cable dress kit from Europe in Chrome. Also ordered a short-throw shifter from the Nederland's. Found these guys on-line also, great prices, and NO ONE else has these for sale here in the states. Interested? Give me a shout,and I'll send off the info on where to get it.

Future Additions:

Looking at an aftermarket Turbo from Garret, but it's almost two grand!
DDMWorks Water/Methane injection system
2nd CAT delete pipe
Anything else I can find!!

LOL!! I'm a dude, but no problem. All you see here are the cars, not the owners!! Thanks for the Kudos, I love this little car, and am working on it almost every day. I have the show car, but it's total complete, so only polishing and the such. The Sonic, well, that's a different story. Check out my new pics, put some more stuff on it yesterday.



Oy, I thought you were talking about the Sonic!! Yes, the Bandit is a monster! I've had it since it was brand new, ordered it in '76, drove it for two years then went to university, so I couldn't bring it with me. It sat stored for 24 years before I did anything to it.. Labor of love my friend, labor of love. And a lot of time and cash!
