I changed all 4 sides with new brakes and rotors..I was on a budget and for under $300 I got 4 duralast rotors and duralast "gold"brake pads for a lil under $300..ive put 50miles on the car so far and im very impressed at the stopping power these autozone ELcheapos brake components have...I dont track the car so these brakes and rotors would have to do..

Ive also been peiceing up a nitrious kit.i would buy a new nitrous related piece once a month or so but now im done and have a complete kit ready to install..cant wait ..im gona have it set at a 100 shot.

I love it!! Nothing better than having an extra 100whp when the urge happens.

Nitrous Outlet makes a great product!!!

335 30 18s, dropped the blower pulley for another 4lbs. Will tune Friday. Have almost 400 miles on the motor. Will rebuild the old heads and throw them on as well as a more aggressive cam this winter. For now I'm leaving it in the 800rwhp on 93 range.

First I installed new Injectors. M-9593-M39, the EVO6 to EVO1 adapters didn't quite fit, had to modify them slightly by drilling out the inside corners...

Then worked on re-tuning, injector data seemed wrong... so a few hours later got it drivable, still have work to do, so taking some scans. Thanks to my homie for letting me ruin his Saturday tuning my car.

Being Cam only I am suppressed you needed to add injectors. I only added 42 lb injectors after I did the ported/milles 243's.

Why are you not running a catch can?

Also, were you using HP Tuners? I am looking into getting some software and doing my own tuning. Its a pain to work around others schedule when I just need to get some data on the car.

Any suggestions for which software? I am not a professional, not will I be tuning a bunch of cars.

Sorry to hear about that...

I can see the wheel cocked in the rear well and the damage to the front of the Sonic, but where did he actually hit? Did you get t-boned on the other side and pushed into the curb?

The impact started at the passenger door and then the car caught my wheel and sent me spinning . The damage to the side doesn't look bad in the pics, but it's all cracked up down the side.

Took the cover off for the first time since early November - been in South Carolina the last three weeks - it wasn't warm here when we left. Will install new brake pads tomorrow, bed them and then take a nice long cruise.

Was going to change the reverse lock out solenoid. Read the post by Griffee and seemed easy enough until I got under the car and remembered I have 3" exhaust. will have to drop the one side.
Oh well maybe tomorrow.
