Forgot to mention that I picked up a pair of these too https://www.seicane.com/car-horn-re...olet-cruze-audio-door-angle-gums-2pcs-s37tr32



Will install the Oncore tweeters on that

Nice find. Do these fit the area where the mirrors are or over the existing tweeters?

Correct, they replace the original mirror area covers, aka "sails."

How is the quality. They look like blow molded pieces.

it looks, feels and weights about the same as stock covers.

Well, at that price, I might have to get a pair just in case....

do it, theyre cheap...will probably spend more on new push pin thingies from the dealer than the panels themselves

Ended up swapping speakers. The Amperes were good but got these to test and keep.

Gave it a wash and doesn't look that bad still at 69k miles

Now I just have to re-tune my system and all that fun stuff

Had jacked up the car to track down a clunk I was getting coming and taking off to a stop. Looked at the front driver tire and noticed this

Got rid of my clunk (Loose exhaust hanger bracket bolt) and installed a TTR trans mount.

slapped some 52lb injectors on the car and ordered a GTX250

 

[eddiefromcali]

had a magnaflow muffler welded on...little extra rumble and no drone...I like it

 

[eddiefromcali]

sold my 42lb injectors since I've been on 52s for a month now...ordered 60s in preparation for my GTX250 will have the 52s for sale soon as well.

 

[eddiefromcali]

got some Verano undercarriage panels...hope they fit! lol. My GTX250 shows up this Monday, injectors, valve springs and a secret beta testing part show up today....cant wait! Should be pushing over 300hp soon

I have a set from an ECO. When you figure out how to attach them, let me know.

I assume the studs aren't there? Figured I would just drill the floor pan and nutsert the hole for a bolt.

Correct. Aren't you worried about rust/water infiltration?

not really. I live in southern California, so we hardly have any rain. Plus I like using green (609) Loctite on any press fit situations like these...that would seal any potential moisture between the floorboard and the nutsert and then blue Loctite on the bolt threads takes care of that side. If that doesn't work, I could just weld a bolt down into the floor from the inside and make my own stud.

BNR FPCM is in, works good w/o an updated tune. Waiting on that to slap on my 60lb injectors and then swap valve springs. Ordered a little hand held spring compressor, cam locking kit, BUNCH of gaskets/seals and exhaust band clamp. Once the injectors and springs are in, I'm going to get a base dyno run and will go back after the turbo is broken in. All I need now is an oil change and fresh plugs.

Got my 60lb tune in and its way smoother than the 52...especially at idle. I bought a spare 1.4 longblock for $100...plan is to rebuild it it BNR pistons and swap it in when ready. Had to order the kent moore valve spring compressor because the little hand held one I tried doesn't fit inside the spring holes....though about buying a universal one but I don't think I can keep the spring compressed with one and and install the locks with another..thats not an issue with the KM tool design. Since I'm removing the springs, will replace valve stem seals as well, so ordered the KM seal puller and the installer tools.

valve spring compressor came in and works perfectly. All I did was shove some twine down into the cylinder and swapped a stock for a bnr spring...took a few tries to get the locks on the stem, but nothing a screwdriver and some grease couldn't handle.

plan now is to swap springs and get on the dyno for a before run...once the GTX250 is fully broken in, I'll go back for an after.
