holy crap!! completely lost track of this thread! quick update. nothing new has happened. havent even had the chance to get it on the road, car has been sitting in my garage. did complete the LED interior lighting swap, so inside and courtesy flood lights are bright as everything. picke dup the...
this is really promising! ive got my fmic kit sitting here and already have the SRI, TIP and 3"DP along with AP so really all i need to do is get switched over to bnrs3 and retune.
still havent gotten to the notary to finish the paperwork and get plates ordered. just found out within the past week that we were approved for a house and luckily found one that we love. so the speed is taking a back seat for a bit. should be able to get to the notary today or tomorrow and...
new tires are on. high-flow cat is in. need to drop the car off tonight to get the green light on the enhanced inspection. once thats done ill be heading to the notary to get the paperwork done and then the waiting begins. once the plate gets here (whenever that day is) ill have to go back to...
weekend update** did not end up buying the bumper. after cost+shipping+paint ill have a grand into the ass end alone. gonna look a different route. got the new tires mounted and balanced. will go on the car tonight. also there was a shipping issue with the cat i ordered. so it should be here...
found a ms6 full rear bumper on ebay . inlucding shrouds, which are in fairly good shape. seller had the enitre bumper and shrouds listed @500. offerrede him $350 and he accepted. although more than i wanted to spend, hopefully i can wet sand the bumper to smooth out some marks, get it painted...
its def a test in patience thats for sure. $610 later i have the tires and cat on their way. next up is the hood rust spot and the rear bumper:) and if im somehow lucky enough...track down rear exhaust shrouds somehow (pray for me)
ok so took a step back yesterday to re-evaluate everything. cars simply not in a position to warrant power upgrades at this point. so i finally heard back from the shop. need to put a cat on the DP (figured this) and the RR tire is dry rotted. so after some researching and back and forth. i...
as someone that went to school for auto tech, i completely understand the value of placing maintanance first and performance second. And thats what im trying to do with this car. i know i need to replace the fluids, change plugs, upgrade a few odds and ends before really looking at adding more...
eventually im gonna have the entire hood redone. but thats not of importance right this moment
may just sand it down and get some primer and body touch up paint on it to save the hood
lets talk about that avatar though for a minute haha
i believe in the 10s at damn near WOT. but honestly im still getting adjusted to the power so i couldnt exactly stare at my AP while givin er hell.
i think thats whats turning me off of doing the upgrade now honestly. i mean freektune has the turbo+tune deal right now, which would be nice. i...
well what a lovely and active weekend. pulled the hideous exhaust shrouds off to scrub them and clean them up a bit. in the process of doing so i realized that 1) the shrouds are completely shot to shit, broken clips everywhere from some idiot ripping them off and 2) my magnaflow exhaust has...
more updates!! upon further investigation. the car does in fact have an aftermarket downpipe (cant find receipt so no idea the brand) and a Cobb TIP. last evening the interior was vacuumed out and seats cleaned , trunk was also cleaned out and vacuumed. Tint was pulled and windows wet sanded...
will do. thank you.
im just gonna take the door skin off and see whats up. im afraid to shake the door too much because im afraid that the glass will slide down uncontrolled if its not supproted by something. the motor sounds good and doesnt sound like its binding or locked up. im sure its...
only downside is i discovered that the drivers side rear window is not operating properly. you can hear the motor running but the window doesnt move.. so i fgure something came loose.. ill check it this weekend
so theres good news and bad news. went to get the paperwork finalized. have to take the car to a specialized inspection (30 minutes away) to thave them do a thorough inspection to make sure its "road-worthy" then it can take up to 6 weeks to get a plate issued.... thats the bad. now the good...
see thats my issue, is howdo you reliably nkow that youve taken enough off ? really should just buy new headlights but i always try to save money when possible.
simple story for a possibly not so simple issue. picked up my 06 MS6 last night.i noticed that the drivers side window controls are fully functioning. the button for my drivers window works fine both up and down... but the other 3 buttonsdo absolutely nothing. with the window lock on or off. i...
lmao to each their own. i love it, but can see it not being for everyone.
