If they've never done the reprogram before they will probably screw it up. Most of them click on the wrong tune on the computer. You'll know right away if you don't get enough boost. Should get 20 psi in florida at least

Trading it in, Def? You'll never get full trade-in value on that non-stock suspension. I'll give you my stock springs and shocks in exchange for those new coilovers we put on last weekend. No charge

Not trading it in, just trying to buy my mom a car. Appreciate the off though. I sure wish I had that stock suspension! NOT!

Got my GMPP kit from CrateEngineDepot!! Dropping it off Sunday night to get it installed. Whooopeee!!

Lowered the tire pressures to 29 psi for the winter. Sniff!

Drove to and from work. In the rain. Again.

I'm getting sick of rain...wet roads + leaves = a surface much like SOB described at his last A/X.

Go-N Def · « **Reply #104 on:** November 25, 2009, 02:22:24 AM »

Washed it.

Drove to get a hair cut.

Picked my brother up and drove it to a used car lot where I bought my mom a car. He dove her car home and we surprised her. She cried and tried to say that she was gonna make payments to me. I had to tell her to shut up! LOL!

Drove it back to my dads house...

Here's some more pics of my shroud/halo setup i'll be adding to my hid retrofit, the ccfl is inside the shroud so its hidden from view. Cant wait to get this finished up

TomatoSoup · « **Reply #108 on:** November 26, 2009, 12:32:08 PM »

Cool! More details, please!

shabby · « **Reply #109 on:** November 26, 2009, 05:43:52 PM »

Well the projectors i'll be using for the retrofit are the fx-r bixenon ones, ballasts are mitsubishi gen 4, bulbs are philips 85122+ and the gatling gun shrouds with ccfl's to finish it off. I got everything from http://store.theretrofitsource.com/ if you plan to use oem projectors/ballasts/bulbs they got everything you need.

I installed the Dejon BOV spring. Can't really tell a difference apart from the noise so far

I gave her a good wash, but this week I had side stripes painted that fade out into the black, and put on new tires.

Uranium-238 · « **Reply #112 on:** November 29, 2009, 07:22:35 PM »

I remarked about how dirty my car is, (Just ask DBG or go 'n def) then re-installed the stock mirror.

Gotta SEE those stripes.

I'll take some good pictures when it is light out...by the time I got home from the car wash, it was dark...hate that it gets dark so early now!

Replaced the Putco headlamps with Sylvanias. It was more of a PAIN than it should have been. First, the bulb came away from the plastic base. Then the plastic of the base disintegrated as I tried to gently pry it away from the socket. The plastic Putco uses became brittle under the heat load. I finally used a pair of needlenoses to grab a little bit that was left and popped it off. Never again will I buy Putcos.

Rogue · « **Reply #116 on:** November 30, 2009, 09:02:33 AM »

Yesterday (Sunday) was the perfect day to wash and wax both Rogue and GXPsy. Rogue was already clean but GXPsy had a lot of crud from all the recent rain. Now it looks like more rain for the mid-atlantic this week. Boring!

Interesting and good info. Noted. Thanks!

I had the same issue with one of my Putco's, it came away from the base as well.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #119 on:** November 30, 2009, 12:42:16 PM »

Same thing happened to my Putcos also

DirtyMike · « **Reply #120 on:** November 30, 2009, 01:10:05 PM »

saw a few ants walking around inside the car last night when i left the beach apt which was odd and this morning saw a few more and turned on the a/c on the way to schooll and ants and little white oval stuff started flying out the vents and they were everywhere....not cool when your driving and have ants all over your clothes and car.

so goona head out soon to buy those fog bombs and get rid of them and give her a good detailing tomarrow

Carbon Sky · « **Reply #121 on:** November 30, 2009, 03:32:05 PM »

Do you have any idea why you have ants? Only one person I know has ever had ant problems in their car. And that was primarily because they always had a dirty car . . . you know sports equipment, food wrappers, empty drink containers, etc. After years of this, I guess he got unlucky parking too close to an ant hill, but after that he had a massive ant problem that year until winter rolled around. I guess they couldn't handle the cold winter and time spent primarily between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

Critterman · « **Reply #122 on:** November 30, 2009, 04:44:46 PM »

I guess now we know why your name is "dirty" Mike

Make sure you have the car on recycle with it running when you fog it. Sounds like they are using the vents as an ant farm.

DirtyMike · « **Reply #123 on:** November 30, 2009, 05:16:52 PM »

my mind is dirty not the car! lol

i keep it clean inside and out and never eat inside and allways wipe after if soda spills or something.

dunno what happend. i park in the same spot at my house since i've had it and no problems. a weekend parked in the garage at the apt blg and ants!

Critterman · « **Reply #124 on:** November 30, 2009, 06:47:50 PM »

Mike,
Once you get it cleaned out, draw a wide chalk line around the car where it happened. for some reason ants don't like to cross chalk.
