Best to remove the Black(negative) first, then the +(positive) cant complete the circuit if you shorted out the + .
Reverse to install.
Just make sure thiers no greenish corrosion on your cables ends. If thier is scrape it out and you might use some baking soda and an old tooth brush to clean them up.
Then you can buy some electrical stuff to protect them from this, they sell it autozone in tiny square packages.

OH YA!
Might use some safty glasses when cleaning that crap, sucks real bad to get in your eye(s)

It's supposed to SNOW here!!!! WohOO! I doubt if it's gonna stick though but Hey it's SNOW!

XI, I figured out perfect explainations for the pics you posted! the one of on the wire, Well he was just trying to get a good look under the car ( he heard a noise) and the one in the pool, well After soccer practice she wanted to give the van a bath, so she put it in the pool This was before she added the soap! LMAO

gir : battery problems suck. Hopefully it's just the loose connection thing that everyone is now encountering! If not New battery time. Leaving the car on without the engine running has never left me with a shorter life span for the battery. So I doubt that would be the cause But i guess it's possible.

Batteries are the thing around here too.
Must have replaced 10 this week already.

Cold snaps seem to put everything to the test, including us.

WE got a little snow lastnight/this morning, but nothing to play in
Weather man says 45 deg next week and rain

yuuuup!, battery issue.. was waiting to pick up the woman from rehersal and decided to only have the radio on... while I waited ... came out, attempted to start the car.. and eh sat for a few mins longer lol

got one of the guys there to jump start me, prob tomorrow going to buy a new one

[xeroinfinity]

Batteries just dont last as long as they used to.

I guess it has been pretty cold down your way to Gir.
Thats probly what has been killing it off.

other day, went ahead and ordered 180stat from pfyc.com along with K&N oil filter 1001 and figured hell.. new GM fuel filter too...

Should I wait on installing the 180stat untill winter is all done? kinda figured since im getting the coolant flushed here soon, once its drained just pop the sucker in....

[xeroinfinity]

Yes I would get your cooling system flushed with some chemical stuff for that.
Then have the 180 stat put in, though if it gets realy cold you might not get alot of heat.

I have cardboard in front of the radiator on the GT now or its to cold
I just have to remember when it gets warmer, 40's, to remove it or it could get hot.

The SE works fine w/180

..........more fine enginering

I'm working on Mod for the over head light.
I have all these LEDS and I'm puting them to use damnit!

Hey we are up to two pages

[Gir-_-]

WTF? What is that supposed to be? it looked like either a face on a CD or Blueprints/wiring diagram. You know they make special programs so you can make labels for CD's... LOL Sorry had to...

Well I'm off to eat some Dinner.....

later

[xeroinfinity]

it is kind of a blue print
Not a label(maker)

I'll sneak you a peek of stage two tomarrow.

OK !



I wont make you wait


Rough&Scarry


Hint #3

Have a great Day Everyone !

LED wiring for dome light

http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/ls1/us_gto.htm ...its not fair lol

[xeroinfinity]

Was it that obvious ?

It should shine really good from the relectiveness of the disc.
A lot cheaper then using plexiglass, free !
I always have crap AOL or some CDs that need recycled.

Ya I saw the Gore Documentary Inconveniant Truth, I'll do my part

wat? lol

The link I gave was for a stealth twin turbo setup for a GTO

design was pretty nice, vertical intercooler, both intakes coming from the bottom upinto the TB thru hosing, and turbos set back under the car protected by a shield .. each turbo right at the end on either side on the header manifold... pretty slick

the site for me at the moment isnt working opcorn: oh well... it is hosted in aussy

[xeroinfinity]

What you havent seen that movie "Inconveniant Truth" ?
About global warming ...........
ITs not the getting hot that worryies me its the big cooldown after that, or should I say Iceage !?!

The link didnt work for me either....
I do believe some the GTO's are aussie made

They are pretty fast stock. I need to go and test drive an 07'.
Heard they are quicker, but I'll have to be the judge of that

Just had a thought...... we need a thread for ONLY part #'s for GA parts.
Both GM/AC Delco , have to look into this!
