Spill the beans, What needed to be repaired?
Or was it just out of gas and DDM simply filled it up after towing it down to SC?

It got another motor put in. Not 100% sure yet because the old motor wasn't torn down yet but according to the uptheass scope it looked like ring/lans failure.

Did they use Joe's new Sphinctervision for the diagnosis?

Actually Dave does have something called "Uptheassscope" he showed us the case at the mod meet, we were cracking up!

Glad it is all better Jim!!!

decided to 'red-out' my tails rather than tint them. looks understated and clean. I LOVE black, but the smoked out tails just kind of took away from the character of the back of the car...
subjective views of cars are all relative anyways....

STILL set on stage 1 supercharger.... getting ready to pull the trigger after I install the SOLO exhaust.

Got some oil and filter for an oil change!

Let my wife take the Sky into DC for work while I took the Rogue to pick up a bunch of boxes and get it inspected. Now she wants it all the time!

Had it detailed inside and out! Man, it's like a new car! Was really painful watching those guys work in the hot sun (they did have a portable cover to work under). Took them 6 hours non-stop. Today was our first 100+ degree temp. of the year. Also had them do the Tahoe and it turned out great too. They got out scratches and scuffs that I was just hoping they could blend in a bit better. They used some new 2 part system from Maguires that did a very nice job. My vehicles were the first time they have used it. Gonna come back and do the wife's sky on Thursday. If they can get the acid etching out of the clear coat I'm gonna give 'em a big tip!

If they can do that post up instructions and pictures please. Some people here have had issues with that, even after wet sanding

YIKES!I don't think it will be as aggressive as wet sanding but if it works I will post some pics and let everyon know the products they used. I tried to remove them myself and i thought I used some pretty aggressive stuff and had no luck but we shall see Thursday.

I ran over a 2x4 or something that looked like a 2x4 in the second I saw it come out from the car in the lane next to me. Sucks having your car hugging the ground.

I ordered my front ZOK sway bar from DDMWorks....looking forward to putting it in at the end of the week to compliment the rear ZOK sway that was just put in at the mod meet.

Yay, I have one convert!

For the love of marshmellow fluff, I hope you don't convert anyone to your style of keeping your kappa klean?

Phil,
I agree with you. I like oversteer.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #4296 on:** June 15, 2011, 10:15:30 AM »

Did you see our cars at the meet...dirty and dirtier...I was already converted LOL.

sallysky · « **Reply #4297 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:16:40 PM »

I installed elbow pads from JPM.... thank you Shiny I too was not sure if I would like them or not and they do make a difference.

Thanks to JPM for their excellent craftsmanship!

elff · « **Reply #4298 on:** June 15, 2011, 03:38:58 PM »

I replaced my Synapse BOV with the new one.
Got it dialed in and working really nice.

I'm still amazed at how fast the 2871 is compared to the K04.
I love it!!!
