i don't think we need to rent a track (I'm anticipating a low number of people), most tracks have a wed/fri night test and tune schedule so maybe we can hop in on one of those if some people want to get some runs in?
-
you da man! as soon as it warms up I will be doing this as well. thanks for taking the time to put this together -
I vote NC but I'm down to go with the flow wherever... Somewhere that has delicious pizza and beer preferably :-)
-
ss badges in real CF would be the shiznit! my plan has always been to leave the brake ducts and ss badges silver but this new concept is really tempting!!

back in my VW days (01 gti vr6) and living in jacksonville, fl... making the 7 hour drive to Helen GA for SOWO with a couple dozen other enthusiasts once a year are some of the best memories I have. i would love to do something similar with big red. although SOWO is pretty much a week long party where the whole town shuts down LOL. still, a track day and/pr a good cruise with some good peeps always gets my vote
-
damn VA is quite the trek but if there will be a strong showing I'm still down to make the drive. If anybody else is from SC or NC we can meet up and cruise the rest of the way together.
-
The dopest dope I've ever smoked. Hands down. Where is the list to get one on order? Ahaha no for real though that thing came out saaaweeet

Justin you are the man! truck is running like a champ now. having a slight issue with a couple rear 02 sensor codes but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of it in no time! best $$ I've spent on the SS. anybody thinking about getting a tune needs to stop thinking about it and give this man your money!!! thanks again Bro
-
I spent about 6-7 months looking before I finally found one I'd be happy with. I ended up driving about 5 hours north to get mine and came back in hurricane conditions. man what a trip! GL and def keep an eye open. don't settle for any ol SS.
-
welcome! glad to see another SC member on here. now find a truck so I have someone to cruise with
-
anybody here reside in South Carolina? I live in Goose Creek and in the past year I have only seen 1 other SS on the streets. Unforunately it's driven by a 'lower class' looking lady who cleary takes no pride in her vehicle
anyways, just wondering if any of you guys are close ish so we can organize a cruise somewhere or something... doesn't matter -
cwest, I'm curious why you would never use an aftermarket system? it's been my experience that after enough time has passed for tech to become more widely used, aftermarket (not cheap stuff) can and usually does surpass oem quality. Obviously the install would have to be done the right way, but I think given enough time, someday there will be a reliable, safe, theft-proof system that can be adapted to most vehicles.
-
maybe in a couple more years a good system will be on the market. until then I guess it's just more money for go fast parts

a lot of nice toys being posted, here are a couple of mine
the BA is a savage i put in a boyds stock and hydrodipped/duracoated. the ar is a scratchbuilt mutt (also covered in duracoat). The SKS i got in a trade for an AR lower, serial number 000025 all numbers matching with caricatures (SP?) for the chinese special forces! Couldn't pass up that deal. The USP is the most recent addition to the family, got it in a trade for a CZ-75 I had... Now to find another CZ LOL.

I know new cars have this kind of tech but I think it would be kind of cool on the SS and or the VW... IIRC painless makes something similar but the kits from gallo seem to be a little more thought out and user friendly if that makes sense.
-
anybody ever hear of or have any first hand experience with this stuff from gallotech.com? seems pretty cool... proximity door lock/unlock and pushbutton engine on/off... what do you guys think?
...man the places google will take you when bored....
-
i'm in for sure!
-
CZ -75 SA or SP-01 all the way. Perfect range gun and the sp-01 has a rail if you want a light/laser, etc... for home defense. CZ are the most underrated handguns in the industry. Based off of the timeless proven hi power design... you have to be pretty bad to not be accurate with these perfectly balanced beasts. czcustom.com has pretty good prices too.
-
so I've done a bit of searching and come up fruitless... my thoughts are why isn't there a scott style cown induction hood for the SSS like there is for a TBSS? I love the smoothness of it's transitions... any thoughts on the matter?
-
thanks for the input chp. The truck runs strong and only has 50k miles so I don't mind having a cel for a week or so since i know what it will be from... i am glad to hear i will be ok because i was really hoping to be able to put everything on a few days in advance where i have access to a lift and a full tool box vice trying to do it in a parking lot hours away from my house LOL. now to figure out a way to install my headers and get the truck to the exhaust shop without pissing off all my neighbors!
-
ok I will probably just take it with me to charlotte (3 hours away) and throw it in when I get there... after letting the truck cool down of course!
-
I've done a bit of searching and I'm pretty sure I will be gtg but I'd just like to get a few of the elders to chime on this...
I have a 2005 SS and right now the only mod it has is a K&N intake/filter... My question is this...
is the stock pcm able to adjust enough for lt headers, catless exhaust (2.5 in piping, x pipe, 2 si/so spintech mufflers) and a 160* thermostat without being tuned? I am scheduled for the black bear event in charlotte in dec but I am getting fidigity and want to install everything now!!! I know I will get a CEL for the cats, but aside from that could there be any harm done to the engine until I get the live tune? I'm pretty sure I will be safe, like I said just looking for some experienced guys to reassume my thoughts before I start throwin parts in... thanks guys
