Bye Bye old POS sedan!!!!!

Well, I'm getting rid of my problem sedan for a new '05 6-speed sedan. I've already driven the car and have not heard or noticed anything wrong with it. No rattles, vibrations, struts, or anything, with this one. I hope I never take it back to the dealership for anything but free oil changes. If the tires have to be rotated, I will make sure they do not scratch up the cool rimes on the new sports package.

I've already taken out the stillen air intake. I will take the mufflers off Tuesday, I think and have them placed onto the new 6-speed. The air intake will go back in this weekend. How much HP improvement will those do on the new 6 speed sedans? All I know is that I have to practice driving a stick shift again.

Give me your thoughts.
Stephen

I just want to know how those two stillen things are going to bump up some power in the car. I guess I will have a nice cruse to San Antonio for Thanksgiving

The stillen stuff will be on the new sedan this weekend.

I think you need the Motordyne REVUP intake mod.... From what I've heard about it on the 298 6 speed is a must have!

Well,

I'm sure I will take my time, NOT!!, driving it to San Antonio for Thanksgiving. The muffler will be placed onto the car Tuesday, I think, and the intake this weekend.

Now, I have to get use to driving the stick.

FYI - I live just one mile, or less, from our new office. Oh, did I mention on the same street?

G35_TX,

I wish I could still autocross a vehicle. Doing that were the good ol days I'm just not really sure why the docs say that sense driving in Houston is more dangerous that autocrossing. Ya know, it's only a lil brain damage
