I picked up the car today and she runs like a beast!! From a running stand point everything is fine. I noticed between the tow or the dealer someone cracked my from bumper. Now I get to take it to a body shop, will this ever end???

it never ends but that also means that it never stops changing what you have. Each time you have made it more unique and more of a powerhouse in terms of customized cars. Your ride surpassed mine a long time ago so I now look up to what you are doing and I can appreciate it because I have been there with boost issues.

Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

On a funny note, Intense Power ended up shipping my gauge pod about six weeks after I ordered it. That was after I cancelled the order twice. What they didn’t realize is that they shipped it to me twice for the cost of one. Me being an honest guy I called them to let them know they made a mistake. I am shipping the second one back to them tomorrow. He was thankful that I was honest about receiving two of them and said I would receive my next order at a whole price. I think they made an ugly situation right with a funny twist.

I made an appointment to get an Uprev tune on March 22nd with Corey at Slowmotion Motorsports, can’t wait to post the results!

Sorry I have been MIA for the past few weeks. My car kept stalling and dying while driving. I took it to the dealer and both my cam sensors and crank sensor died. Another $720 in repairs, it should be done later today. If they couldn’t fix this issue I was about to trade this car in on a Hummer. Been driving a loaner four door G37 and I hate it! Can someone please wake me up from this nightmare!!

i was glad to be back in my g35c after driving a g37x loaner too, but the awd in the 37 was pretty fun for launching. Left an m3 behind me at a light and the lanes merged so he couldn't get past me lol

I dont know what is going on with your ride bro, but I cant imagine more issues. I had it stall out a few time with my G and the lights go on...its called safe mode. Factory programming. I havent had the issues in a long long time.

The payoff is in the details. Those sensors could have been going beforhand and the boost just sped things up. Who knows. Boost is never a cheap game when you are boosting a N/A motor. I have been lucky.

My best to you bro...
