What did you do to the G Sedan today?

Forced induction can be done on the cheap. You just need to keep your eyes peeled for a used S/C kit. I picked one up with 550cc injectors and all the loose ends for $2k. Install is pretty straightforward although time-consuming - the most expensive part is the tune.

No, because you'll buy one.

I spent some time cleaning it up. Found quite a few scratches in the paint. I will have to talk to my dad about wtf happened. I think the bumper will need a respray, it was hit hard enough to crack the clear coat. Still looks fine from 3ft away. Noticed my drive belts are cracked pretty well, so those will get replaced with everything else when it warms up.

Hopefully someone has had this issue. For quite sometime, my clutch pedal felt rough during engagement. After pulling away from a light I mash the gas (NOT RACING) for a second or two. I heard a little chatter that went away when I slowed down. Now my clutch pedal feels soft and engages smoothly. When I got home I checked my engine bay found nothing unusual, looked under the car. Again found nothing unusual, checked clutch fluid, all is fine. Has anyone else experienced this.

Replaced the leaking valve covers with the sneaky-cheap Maxima swap discovered by TunerMax. $88 on eBay vs $600 for a set through the dealer? Yes.

Of all the cars I have ever owned, I would rank changing the valve covers on a VQ the second worst* job there is. The amount of crap you have to get past just to re/re the covers makes what would be a one hour job on any other car a 5+ hour job.
I also installed a Kinetix velocity manifold and aramid gasket in preparation for next month's supercharger install.
Tomorrow's to-do list: cutting a couple of new vacuum lines to replace the cracked ones I discovered today, using zip-ties to re-secure the wiring harness. Ditching the stock intake plenum means losing a couple of harness mounting points.
Also tomorrow: hoping deleting the throttle-body heater won't be problematic. As it seldom dips below freezing here I'm not too worried. We'll see!
*worst job, in case you're wondering, is replacing the clutch on a Saab.
