LOL... wow yeah I raced that acura and got to 110, with this PCM I should be able to go much faster and at least die rly fast

Floaty feeling....

Sounds like you need struts... or a good allignment.
As long as the front bumper is all intact, you shouldnt get much floating,
except for maybe in the rear end.
Now that can slide around at highspeed if you turn to fast. Remember Slow and Smooth !

AT 20 mph the GT's rear end has slid on me making left turns to sharp...
The person in the right lane realy freaks out when a car slides toward them......
"get outta my road !"

But if youre not comfortable goin fast, I wouldnt.
Tire pressure is criticle too, to low and you can end up in da'ditch, that always ruins your day not to metion your car

yea xi, all my stuff is still OEM from the factory, lol I havent done any suspension mods to my GA at all lol.. the front bumper has taken it's small hits but nothing bad, still in place... and yea the rear is very light... now even lighter since I took out the back seats and spare tire and stuff.... it just wants to swing but the rear strut helps... great for going straight though

still also on stock rims but with good street tires... my brakes need to be redone, they dont stop nearly as good as any other car... I drive with caution everywhere lol... only thing fun is wet roads and or going icing lol.. that was a fun day... my car got VERY dirty and covered with ice lol

I'm looking at those PowerWhatever rotors on pfyc.com... my brakes blow too, worse than my mom's friggin SUV but then again Torrents are very cool SUVs. But yeah... better front rotors and pads ftmfw if I can afford it after this computer

Forza2 Wallpaper I did with a solstice =)

[Vipey1337]

oh baby

<3 Solstice GXP's... I was looking at GTO's, Solstice GXP's, etc. when I went to the stealership to get my CASE relearn. It made me sad that I'm poor

[grfnkl]

Mmm A solstice GXP. the dealer by me has one in Yellow.... Oh so hot... Now thinking about it I have to make a appointment with the dealer for my car... Hmmm.... I figure out when i can do this...

I did find out another one of GM's lovely design ideas... But apparently when the dealer or any garage puts the car on the lift, the bars I'm guessing put pressure on the evap. tank which is plastic and can break. Knowing this info I had my car serviced now more then about 5 days before the Check Engine light came on... and my Evap pressure is all messed up causing the light to be on..... So I think i have to crawl under my car and check this out now... Oh joy!!

If you put gel in make sure you get plenty of height.... I got a good inch and a half going on right now... maybe a little more (keeps people i don't like away..... ). Just keep your head away from flames!!!

car is in the shop now, they'll call me when they have a diagnostic of what the problem is.

dude started to talk to me like he knows it all, in a sarcastic way... so I had to poke em and tell him to put in his little notes that the rubber o-rings on the cold air intake are important, and that they should be handled with care and to not lose them, they are not replaceable.

Edit: I walked this today, from the shop to my house....

solstice GXP.... Hummmm.....
I know where one is close to me, a black one and a yello one and very expensive I might say.
My chiropractors son just wrecked his about 4 months ago, now he has it for sale.
Must have scarred him or something

Good Luck with your performance Vipey and hope you had good luck at the shop Gir !

Hey Gir, that's one long ass walk! DAMN Man! 13 miles! Is that the exact route you walked or did you do some short cuts? that would take me FOREVER to walk!
