Had to swap out to a new ls3 maf housing. I was using a spectre, high suggest no one EVER use that trash. It warps after some heat and then let's unmetered air in.
Using an airaid now.
After installing the clutch a couple months ago I noticed a drip where the rear main seal cover meets the oil pan. So rather than install the trans only to have to take it back out, I pulled the clutch and swapped in a new cover and seal.
Got the clutch back in, sorted out the hydraulic lines (SS braided, heat wrapped and a bleeder) and plugged the trans in (solo without a trans jack).
Replaced the trans tunnel gasket, installed shifter and installed a 1 piece DSS aluminum DS (cut seat belt bolts).
Only exhaust, clutch bleed, exhaust manifold gaskets and rear camber adjustment left to do.
Yeah kid/wife/house take priority. Completed fixing up windows, painting a deck, building a deck, landscaping (shoveled 6000lbs of decorative stone on Saturday). More to do but I have my head above water now.
Sounds like me and my 05. I've driven it exactly 0 miles since last July. Worked on my 04 all last year, home projects, 2 new puppies, and living life with an active wife who doesn't like sitting around the house on the weekends.

Family I can understand. But I put my car ahead of my house; The way I see it, I can live in my car, but I can't drive my house to work..so there's that.

I hear ya but I had a hard time devoting time to the car when I should have been getting house stuff done. Mainly to keep the wife happy but after having the siding done the rest of it needed an update. I have to give her credit, not one complaint about the non-running car in the garage going no where for 2 years.

My Goat sat for a few years and got moved across the country twice. Finally starting to work on the car again. Installed these DDM HID’s I bought here on the forum. Waiting for my Svede from blue dream to arrive later this week.
I did suspension front and back, 1 piece ds, headliner and some other stuff this year.
I have the rear main seal on the list as well. I bought the GM plate here, just not looking forward to pulling my A4. And of course, while the trans is out you might as well.....
Adjusted the superheat setting on my AC expansion valve. Opened it until I saw frost on the suction line then closed it 1/8 of a turn. Pressures are perfect now.
Installed new exhaust manifold gaskets, bled the clutch, installed new midpipe gaskets along with the rest of the exhaust system. Having a hard time adjusting rear camber. When I installed the bushings it was easy to adjust. It is tough to get a wrench on the bolt while having enough leverage. I’ll deal with that when I’m not beat.
Just have to deal with the camber, oil change and I can fire her up.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Got the Reduced Power issue sorted and after numerous WOT pulls, started seeming plumes of smoke out the back of the car. It was intermittent though. Oil level is fine, almost no oil in my catch can. Really surprised me today when smoke started...
I have been running the GMM Ripshift Race for about 6 years now and am about fed-up with the incessant " Rattle" it makes . I mean I love the feel of the shifter, but am sick of the rattle. Nothing is loose, used Red Loctite.
When I hold side pressure on it, it stops. It is worse at high RPMs...
To start, my alternator is fine, I just made an observation.
I've seen a few posts and questions here (no, not ALL of them) regarding people having to move a bunch of things out of the way to replace the alternator. Some even said that the radiator fans have to be moved.
I got home today from...
Hi All! Doing a heads and cam on my gto and I broke the dreaded line going into the ac drier. I’d like to avoid replacing the whole line if possible but I’m having issues locating the adapters I’ve seen mentioned in threads. I saw one post where a guy used a Russell an to hard line adapter...
