To make it even worse for you, he has a 2.4 so he has no use for an intercooler.

Yeah your right, and the link I provided was for the GXP rad. Werks has a rad though for the 2.4 and it's on their site.

A friend made wind restrictors himself, both from glass and from plexiglass. It took him quite a while but the result rewarded him. He thought it would be a nice idea to make some copies and sell them with a very little profit just to cover his expenses. No intention of advertising him, i think it's worth showing his very professional job....

Greased the slides on the top so it won't pinch when I put it up. Been a while since I did it and after a close inspection it appears that there is no wear in the area. That's certainly good news and everything is working well.

Installed a hide away plate (thanks again Jackl)

Before

After Up

After Down

Hmm, looks a little tilled on second glance... I may need to shim with a washer on the one side. Also the cover (to protect the plate) is a little heavy for the spring in the Davies hide away plate, has anyone added a bigger spring?

installed a hide away plate and had dealer replace passanger cup holder

Had some bad scratches on the hood.

These weren't going to come out with any amount of

. Not sure where they came from

, but my car sits outside all the time, and sometimes its several days in between drives. Since I'm getting over another kidney stone

, I haven't driven it in about 3 days.

The Vehicle Processing Center put some moderate scratches in it also and I've wanted to get the front facia sanded and painted for a long time anyway. So, I took it to the Korean Chevy service center. They work on all GM products, but this is the first Pontiac they've ever seen. It's costing me 750,000 Won ($690.00) to have the hood and front facia re-painted.

The service center comes highly recommended from two other guys, one of which does paint restoration. I was happy to hear through the Korean gibberish, "Pontiac Solstice" and "Saturn Sky" as well as "modification", "tune", and "Very Nice!" The manager said that they will color match it and that they do a better job than the US. It'll be ready in 4 days.... (Where's the damn FINGERS CROSSED smiley???)

Go-N Def · « **Reply #4210 on:** June 09, 2011, 04:27:42 AM »

No luck yet, I've only seen the one G2X and that guy wasn't pulling over for anything!

The painfull part is over and I'm pretty sure the stone is hanging out in my bladder, waiting to pop out and DING against the porcelain. Fortunately, its a short trip!

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #4211 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:39:49 AM »

LOL! TMI!!! Hope all passes well... Hope it doesn't get stuck on the way out... or you might have to give your self a little prick... (shot) in the nether region... Sorry the

made me do it!!!

I could not find the crossed fingers GIF, but I did find this.

Excelsior · « **Reply #4213 on:** June 09, 2011, 10:49:29 AM »

..and I found it.

J_Bond · « **Reply #4214 on:** June 09, 2011, 01:22:27 PM »

Still wondering if WERKS ever answer emails, or if their email address is just there for looks. in my opinion, that's just BAD business. I had some relevant tech info to ask it's just ignored? very unprofessional
Not to mention I'm looking to spend more money on their website! I bought their lightweight battery kit, and can't get any tech info on that either.

JimVonBaden · « **Reply #4215 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:26:49 PM »

I took it in the shorts today. The dealer told me my differential was "sweating", and nothing wrong with it, then charged me $108 because it is not warranty!

Does this look like sweating to you?

He said he wouldn't charge me a diagnostic fee if it starts leaking. "Just bring it back!"

I told him I would bring it back, on a tow truck with a grenades differential!

He had it on the lift all of 5 minutes, and didn't wash it like he promised when I took it in either!

Yes, I will name the dealer. Lindsay Chevrolet in Woodbridge, VA!

Warranty my @SS! I am at 28K miles! It will blow one day, and they will not have a chance to do a simple service and seal change! :brentil:

There is nothing wrong there, if you had a leaky diff you would see crap everywhere.

Ok Sorry, I'll edit this...

This is not the TSB diff problem. That is a lot more messy. Could be a different issue.

CT, don't worry, if I need a little prick, I'll call you!

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #4218 on:** June 09, 2011, 11:34:20 PM »

LOL!!! Great comeback. Honestly hope you are feeling better and everything goes well foryou. Hate to see you sidelined for an issue like this. I really like your videos of the Korean countryside! Best for ya brother!

Go-N Def · « **Reply #4219 on:** June 09, 2011, 11:44:05 PM »

Thanks, the stone is floating around in my bladder somewhere, just waiting to piss it out. I've been pain free since I mainlined some Nubain on the first day. Good thing I have direct access to the good stuff! Man what a feeling!!!! Sometimes it sucks being the only medical provider in town, but at least I didn't have to wait for smeone else to treat me.

As far as the car goes, I just have to wait until Tuesday when I pick it up...

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #4220 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:09:55 AM »

Since your medicating yourself, here's a heads up...

What are the possible side effects of nalbuphine (Nubain)?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Tell your fellow stifsim at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

weak or shallow breathing;
fast or slow heart rate;
cold, clammy skin;
confusion, hallucinations, unusual thoughts or behavior;
severe weakness or dizziness; or
feeling like you might pass... A stone

Someone's got to keep an eye out for you

Go-N Def · « **Reply #4221 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:24:05 AM »

Trust me, I know the side effects! They're glorious!

Would you kindly inject me with it right between L3 and L4? That would be great, thanks....

Go-N Def · « **Reply #4223 on:** June 10, 2011, 04:50:35 AM »

LOL! Some of the side effects aren't all that great, nausea being the worst one I had... I puked about three hours after I injected it into my IV line!!!

Arabas · « **Reply #4224 on:** June 10, 2011, 06:37:18 AM »

i washed the top and when it dried up, i detailed it with Meguiar's convertible weather proof. BUT the damn can got empty, so i left a small part of the top unsprayed

u can't imagine how difficult is to find this damn product here....
