I've been thinking about taking a trip to Alabama soon.


The trip back would be A LOT faster. ;)

Let me know if you do I can always meet you there!

Stage 1?

Probably just go K04.


Any idea how much install runs?

They quoted me $500 for EVERYTHING (FMIC, Intake, DP, Turbo) Seems reasonable for 5 hours of work.

Very.

I'd probably go with the kit + S3IC.

Could I stay stock DP? For now at least.

I've got this nasty 2001 Silverado sitting in my driveway for a detail.

Sometimes I regret taking them on... :lol:

It's my cousin's so let's see what I can do with it.

He want's his '69 Camaro done too..... :D

I feel the same way sometimes. Like why did I say yes to that person knowing they haven't done anything in the way or cleaning or taking care of their vehicle. :facepalm:

But, that's why we do it right? Take on the challenge and get it done. Always cool to see how the vehicle came to you, and how it left. Mission accomplished. :thumbup:

Yep, plus he's my cousin so it's nbd really.

I'm halfway through the exterior... wash/wheels/tires completed.

Deciding if I'm going to waste and ENTIRE bar of clay for this, or break out the Duragloss 501 and a white pad on the PC. Which would do the same thing.

exactly, Family vehicles ain't no thang. Usually it's the interior which is a pain...lots of dogs in the family. :laugh: but nothing a good interior brush and good vac won't get out.

Don't waste the clay, I'd go for the 501 and pad on the PC. which reminds me I gotta get a new bolt and locktite that bitch in. The top handle comes loose a tiny but, bolt falls out. PITA when you are right in the middle of a job...

Since getting my new job, I miss using my PC....its been a few months now haha.

No dogs in this one, just some stains and a smoke smell. Seats are falling apart, but what GMT800 doesn't have that problem.

Yeah, that's what I ended up deciding.

I'm looking at the Griot's Garage polisher right now.

More torque and broader orbit... I'm thinking win.

I know a few people who LOVE their Griot's polisher, and since they are local and I support local business. GET ONE. You won't be disapoint.

I'm thinking I need one too, have the PC and the Griot's polisher. :thumbup:

Didn't take any process pics since my camera was dead, but here's a finished shot.


yep by edward.farmer, on Flickr

It has really good paint for it's age. Couple bird shit etchings, but it was a Pre-Listing detail, so it got two washes, an entire bottle of Meguiar's Wheel Brightener and APC+, a thorough vacuum, some spot stain removal, and a generous helping of Duragloss 501.

Looks pretty good man, but I bet a few coats of Zaino Z2 would do wonders for you...:thumbsup:

Looks good!

I need to wax my GTI. Its been almost a year :eek:

Id be more worried about that if I parked outside and had driven more than 4k miles in the last year.

Nope, this is my only car. My office is only 4 miles from home and I travel a lot so plenty of idle time.
