dsgasafdsa EDIT: There you go Xero :)




Just kidding :) I just added these yesterday... totally not rice in my opinion :D

These turned out awesome. Way cooler than I imagined :) Got the rear brake light to do and I'm done (it will require sanding tho... and I don't randomly carry sandpaper, so it will require going to walmart lol)

Your right Salt is needed! Mmmmmm, tater tots.... Damn I'm getting hungry now! It's not fair!


Those decals came out sweet looking. I wanted to do that for my g/a but I didn't want blue, since taht was the best combo with the silver. For the brake light decal, I assume you are talking about teh 3rd brake light? Why are you sanding it? I didn't sand mine when i put it on, and it came out great! the sucky part was i had to take it off cuz i failed inspection due to it... :shakehead

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/443000-443999/443744_19.jpg

Make sure all your lights work, Or else it'll be... ND AM GT or my fav GRA M GT :lol: I had this happen to mine.

lmao... yeah there are tiny words on the light i have to sand down, otherwise it isn't a big deal. I'll probably do that tonight or something... maybe :D

Ah yes, I forgot about those little plastic letters on the lense! Those should be easy to get off, It not use a razor blade and shave'em off.

I don't know if you guys remember that i told you about this, a co-worker of mine had an accident in his monte carlo well I finally got a pic of the car. You gotta love good'ole american made cars, cuz there is no way a new car would have done as well, nor would the person walk away with out a scratch!

You could have just shrunk them, that would have worked.
They Look good! :thumbsup:

I like my plain chrome letters.
I'd like to put a sticker over that third brakelight ....
I want one that says F*** - OFF !
Or blow me ....:dunno: :lol:

Hey grfnkl, you think the Monte is fixable :grinno:
It looks like whatever hit them almost got on top of the car:eek:

I'd want one that said, "Family Sedan" :icon16:
:thumbsdow

How about "if you can read this you are too GD close!" :bloated:

I wanted something that said, Try to pass me or try it, or something to that effect. the more i thought about it the more I realized people would try to annoy me and race me or run me off the road. :shakehead I got enough grief for having a bumper sticker that said "DAMN I'M GOOD" :grinyes: I would like something that says "turn off your highbeams, just cause your headlight is out doesn't mean you can blind everyone else." Ahh stupid people! :banghead:

Xi: The monte is no where near fixable! I told my co-worker to take whatever he could get off the car before it went to the junk yard to sell the parts for money. It was a shame though the car was garage kept and had a whole 50k miles on it and it was an 86 i think. For a 50mph crash into the back of a pickup, i thought he faired pretty well. I know I wouldn't walkaway from something like that in my car :disappoin !!!!

...I would like something that says "turn off your highbeams, just cause your headlight is out doesn't mean you can blind everyone else." Ahh stupid people! :banghead:

This sadly would apply to me :rolleyes:

I need to change out my lights but 1), eh it works for now,
2) I dont want to break any retainer clips, brittle plastic I assume?

it will break no doubt lol, also need to align my lights but eh its w/e.. with the high beams I can blind 2story houses and keep light on the road :evillol:

:rofl: :rofl: This sadly would apply to me :rolleyes:

tisk tisk, :nono: you deserve a good smacking around for that :nutkick:! :lol: I don't blame you though. Duct Tape works very well in place of the retainer clips! I can't say i have been able to drive around with my high beams on since when the damn bulb would go out it would blow both high and low.

You know what they need one of the those "real man of genious" songs for the person with high beams on. We salute you Mr. Highbeam on driver. Not only are you lighting up the road your blinding everything in sight ( ow my eyes!) as well as lighting up the next 6 blocks ahead ( Is it daylight outside?) HAHAHAHAH :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I like my Buttholesurfers sticker on the drivers side back door. Its the BHS clown flippin the bird :D Cops will like that if I ever get stoped :lol:

GA head lights do suck!

I've been looking at other cars head light housings trying to find a close match to just replace them with something better. If the retainer rings dont break then the adjusters break :banghead:
Luckily the SE housings/adjusters are working and not blinding the tree tops.
The GT :rolleyes: It blinds air plains at night :disappoin

I broke something in my lights and had to silicone gel it back together... now I have to get new headlights again... oh god am I dreading it... probably just gonna bring it to a shop and make them figure it out :lol:

So what broke ?

In the mean time check out my ignorant art (http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c242/xeroinfinity/ArtWorK/CaptiveHonor.jpg):D
a few thing left to do to it before its "finished" ....

That;s creepy dude :p

Um... can't remember what broke. It was before I knew anything about cars. I'd have to ask my dad because he was the one that helped me with it back when I was in high school.

A little creepy :naughty:

Today I'm fasting :rolleyes: going to get my cholestor-oil checked...
It sucks being hungry & thirsty ..... just one more hour.

interesting art there XI. Is that computer generated?

So time for a cholestor-oil check up?!!! The sooner its over with the sooner you can hit Micky D's or some other fast food restaurant to get rid of the starving sensation! :lol:

I'd go to hardies and get that monster sandwich/burger thing :p

1200-1500 calorie burgers yum... I'll pass.

That's what I meant :p

We had Hardee's and Roy Rogers instead but we don't even have those here anymore! the closest for me would be somewhere in NY.
I personally am waiting for a Sonic's to open up in the state so i can try that out, I've always wanted to. I'll probably get to try that out in another state first before i ever get one here. For now though I'll stick with my Big Mac. :popcorn:

bla, I remember hardee's when I lived in VA, they had both .. Carl Jrs too... was eh OK food...

what everybody doesnt have in the north is some MOFO whataburger

www.whataburger.com
http://www.whataburger.com/one_near_you.php

If you're ever in town that has one, buy one and whatasize... you wont leave unsatisfied...

being completely off topic, that last post was your 777th post Gir, oh the luck! :wink:

Yes its digital, thank God ! Stuff like that would take ions in the real world..
See here is a more finished look. (http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c242/xeroinfinity/ArtWorK/CaptiveHonorII.jpg) Higher resolution and actual sixe.

Yes my oil needed checked.:bloated:
In the last year I have stopped eating deep fried foods and bake most everything :rolleyes:

And most places werent sell lunch yet so I had to wait to grease up. Hardees they suck!
I like Rallys, they deep fry evey thing in the same oil probly not the healthiest place to eat, but its good :lol:

Havent heard of "what a burger"....
Lucky 777 :grinno:

wooohooo next week my custom twin disc clutch will be done.. YIPPEE

Sonic rocks.

I had the chance to race a lumina or cavalier (couldnt tell cause it was rainy and dark and i have one headlight out), but I didn't take it.

I could tell cause his girl kept looking at me and back at him, and he just kept staring straight ahead at the light. They probably didn't like my low rumbling exhaust and reflective decals :p

So yeah, light turned green and I figured they were racing, but I know better than to gun it when it's pouring and i have parked cars to my immediate right. But no matter my throttle he stayed half a length ahead of me, but i was accelerating REALLY REALLY slowly on purpose. Once I got past the parked cars I was gonna go WOT and torch his ass, but then there were speed bumps and other cars and my lowered grand am doesn't like speed bumps :( So I had to not race and he thought he was all that. Wait till next time though.... muahahaha

My parents love Roy Rogers which is a part of Hardees. I can care less about either. I have seen Whataburgers before when i would go out to New Mexico. Down south though you have some strange fast food places. :grinyes: That was the first time i saw a sonics though. For us whats good for some deepfried everything is a Checkers. Not only can you get your oil changed in your car They recycle it into you food! LMAO :lol:

Xi: I know that pic would take forever if it was an oil painting or a medium in that regards. Computer generated is so much faster, but to the art world it's not considered "art". I had to defend myself on several occasions over this.....:flipa: Blah to them! either way it's looking good. Me and My co-worker did this webpage (http://shadowlands.125mb.com/). She did the repairs on the pages and reformats i did the background/ graphics.

Vipey: Smart move in not racing the car on a slick road You don't need to add a new fender of list of things to do! :nono: I constantly get little civics trying to race me. I just don't pay any attention to them then i'll cut them off OR stop them from being dicks on the road and look the other way when they get next to me. they seem to hate that even more! :lol: Ah good Times!

Today is more rain for us, with the over saturated ground, means MORE flooding which in turn means a longer commute! I think NJ may just float away. I may be on the next state to become an island! Wohoo!

Yes Vipey rainy roads can be dangerous especially at night.
Hitting parked cars isnt good either...

grfnkl, whats that site for ?
I like the lightening background pic :D

Checkers.... we have gas stations named that but dont do oil or good food :grinno:
Cheap gas, tho it burns up to fast.
Speaking of which... $3 a gallon for 87octane around here :banghead:

Anyone going to Talladega this weekend for the race?
My butter half and some of her family are going :rolleyes:
I hate Nascar, so easy a monkey could do it, left. left left :lol:

The site is for a gaming page i believe. I'm not 100% sure, this is what i was told. The background pics looks better as an original instead of on the page. The original has dark red grass and a few other details that don't show up on the page.

Your missing out if you don't have a checkers! They have the best curly fries, not only are they spicey they are drenched in grease and oil. So afterwards not only will you need a triple bypass, the spiceyness will repeat for the next 2 days! :naughty: I really could go for them now!

Gas is creaping to the 2.80 mark for us. I'm trying to conserve as much as i can... but with the constant flooding and traffic, i'm getting a wonderful 16 mpg! :banghead: So needless to say I'm paying WAY to much money way to often to fill up my tank!

No talledega for me... have to go to my girls neice's first communion!

I dont need any more grease, I bleed petro :grinno:
Got the results back from my oil check- 208.
Which is alot better then a year ago, it was 298 :yikes:
Yes I did eat fast food way to much!

You are only getting 16mpg in your G6 ? :confused:
I'd be trading that pos in ! :lol:

16mpg in a g6? thats not good dude lol

FINALLY, I got my speedbuilt strut bar in, we installed the front piece with-out trouble in the front... and I feel a difference, not big but its pretty nice, dampens road noise a little, and turning is fun... it like Pulls it into a turn which is nice... I still need to install the rear one in the trunk

today I popped the hood to see if the alt was still bumping into the strut bar, we superglued a durable rubber piece that'll take the hits onto the strut bar.. looks good, slight rub but its all god, even on small risers the strut bar still gets knocked :dunno:

I also blame my engine mounts, very used lol....

ALSO, found my CAI was open, just a bit... small slit of where the pipe slid out so fixed that... other than that... I think I actually might be getting a mazdaspeed3

cute little car, 260HP w/ stock turbo... it being new, I can find parts locally from wrx owners EASY... I can prob pump it up to 320 or more w/o even doing a turbo upgrade kit.... which Ive found lol, but im sure id pre-pair the engine a bit more by then... either way, its a solid built motor, I like the look of the car... Id prob go with black, tint it. and do red-style interior

At least you're not getting a civic :p

I'm considering now getting one of a few things:

1) A solstice because they look awesome
2) A miata cause you can swap a mustang V8 into them
3) a WRX (or STI) because they are AWD and uberfast
4) keeping what I have now
5) A trans am or firebird... or maybe even a mazda RX-7 :)

Hey Gir, you say your speedbuilt strut bar hits ?
You didnt get them mixed up and put the rear on the front?

My L-cheap-o seems fine on the SE, doesnt hit though I'm surprised its not bent :sly:

Hey you guys like the White Stripes?
Then you wont like this....

the bars are exactly the same for front and back

only thing diff is the mounts and its easy to tell which were the front b/c the rear are bolted differently

Im drunk night :popcorn:


I made my sig in photoshop =)

If the g6 was getting 16 mpg on a regular basis i would be looking at alternative options. I'm only getting this low due to the massive amount of traffic I've been sitting in lately due to all the closed roads from flooding! So sitting in traffic for 15 + mins without moving.. yeah bad gas mileage!

Gir: better get those engine mounts done, u don't wanna bend a strut brace!:shakehead Once you install the rear one You'll have lots of fun! :iceslolan I know i did!

I just put my strut bars in. I can notice quite a bit of difference with both the front and rear. Now i just need to get new tires, and itll get even better :grinyes:

Oh and has anyone put bridgestone potenzas on anything? Are they a good tire, from what ive heard they are, im just wondering if anyones got any experience with them. Thanks.

i doubt it'lll bend it, some strong metal lol, unless im just ripping into it.....

I do have that rubber piece on there as well to give it some comfort... theres no way I can adjust it really, pretty simple install cept for lift it but I've already done that and its flush on the bolts of the strut lol

gir: the more I thought about it, i realized that the strut braces shouldn't bend. I didn't bend either of mine with the accidents i had. Alot of other things bent suspension wise but the brace was perfect! :grinyes:

justin0717: I haven't tried the bridgestone potenza, but i've heard a lot of good things about them. Check out tirerack.com, there is alot of reader reviews as well as specs that help ya. I had put on Bf goodrich traction t/a's and they were really good. it stopped my g/a from the spinouts in snow and rain!

Yesterday, i saw a sweet Caddy on the road in front of me. it was a CTS-V. I'm not crazy for the CTS, but the V adds alot more to it. The exhaust had such a awesome tone to it! I would love to drive one of them... or at least any V version of the caddies!

Goodyear Assurance TripleTread ftw in rain :)

Ministry-Rio Grande Blood , ass clown, gangreen, Palestina with head phone! :ylsuper: The Great Satan Remix is good too :D

You need to hear Filth Pig, and "In case you didnt feel like showing up live" kinda the best of older Ministry.
"The land of rape and honey", and "The mind is a terrible thing to taste" are great with a strobe light and hallucinogens :eek7: :lol:

Wait till it's finished :naughty:

On another trippy note my GT was crapping out this weekend. Would hold onto 1st and not shifting unless you red line it. Then from 2-3 it would slippp, then slamm peeling out :rolleyes:
Changed the trans filter & fluid seems to have helped but its still acting strange.... Also throwing a shit load of codes.
Cleared them hoping they dont come back :disappoin
