Mine did that bone stock

Thanks Kelu, Bring me back down to earth why dont you...

So Opels were not speed governed to 142?

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #351 on:** February 20, 2010, 09:27:24 AM »

Opels don't have a speed limiter in the ECM. Skys and Solstices are limited to 155 in the ECM (unless you have a tune.)

Bone stock speedo showed me 245-248 km/h which translates in 153-154 mph, and nothing more even I kept her some time at that speed, to me looked ECU limited.

I pulled it out of a snowbank, washed it, drove around a bit, and then put it under it's cover. Boy that HP felt really good under my foot

Installed the fuel pump insulator. Helps with the ticking noise....some. Guess what is really needed is moving the fuel pump to the front of the engine, which ain't happening.

All Electric fuel pumps are made to Pull the fuel not push . Sounds like its starving or straining for Fuel . Could be Clogged or line pinched somewhere.

That make it drag limited, you don't have enough power to overcome drag

No, this is a well documented issue with the DI high pressure fuel pumps. That's why GM came out with the insulator.

Headlight was intermittent. Found a wire had pushed pi of the receptacle. Waiting for Rain-X to dry now. Seems like in this weather I put a fresh coat on every couple of weeks.

I simply admired her.Is Spring EVER gonna be here?

Ordered Illuminated Door Sills last Monday (doing the 6 week wait now), Installed my Solo Mach Shorty Exhaust last Wednesday (after things slowed down at work of course), and yesterday I finally found a dealer that could install my GMPP Stage II Turbo Upgrade with prior experience, and without charging an arm and a leg.

(Things left to do...Solo High Flow Cat, JPM Center Console Mod, MRZ Billet Engine Bay Fluid Caps Anodized Red)

Officially I haven't done anything to the Sky at the moment.
But yesterday, I spoke with Spicey and he helped me place my order for my
Norm's Fiberglass Rear fascia with diffusers. [Like the following Picture]

It's going to arrive painted to match the car. [White on White]

So now I have to be patient while Norm works his magic.

elff: i can't believe you don't have that already, I have it on this side of the earth and you don't

?

It's been a matter of moola.
Being Married, I have to mix car mods with home upgrades.
We have a new kitchen and I just got the tax return, so I purchased this before the money was spent.

Ordered a set of illuminated door sills from windrestrictor.

1LILNDN · « **Reply #368 on:** February 24, 2010, 12:22:56 AM »

I bought a set of Norms side skirts and hope to have them on by Monday or Tuesday next week .(If we don't get that Snow their calling for) I thought seeing Robins meant an early Springs in MD.

Helios · « **Reply #369 on:** February 24, 2010, 12:29:06 AM »

Not today, but Saturday...I had DDM install their long tube headers w/ high flow cat, diamond slotted rotors (frnt and rear) w/ performance brake pads, and an exedy stage 2 clutch to handle my lead foot.

With all the rain and snow in the Northeast, I only opened the garage to look at her, then ordered a v2 Illuminated Windrestrictor and Door Sills, Custom travel bags, Probeam, Tunnel Brace, and AEM CAI.

When all these arrive, I will have some serious work on my "girl" before the spring thaw... At least I will get to spend time playing with her (if only in the garage). LOL!!!

smartin · « **Reply #373 on:** February 24, 2010, 02:15:54 PM »

I've been looking at mine, too. Those brand new Goodyear Eagle GTs Ultra High Performance All Season tires may see the snow tonight or tomorrow.

KWhale · « **Reply #374 on:** February 24, 2010, 02:43:48 PM »

Finally ordered the DDM A-Pillar and 2 Aero Force gauges. Disassembled the old pillar and removed the OnStar and Speaker. Just eagerly awaiting the package from DDM now!
