Was invited to the autoworks shpw in kuwait, its like a mini sema here for us. And i took the opertunity to copy the ats-v colors.

Forgot to post here, much easier on fb.

Wow, had to search and dig for this old post...

Latest predicament

I scored a cam from cam motion, what they call the stealthy stroker cam. Should make similar power and be much smoother

I also scored two apexi ats 115mm tailpipe silencers to quiet my girl to below stock.

My oil tank came off as it got damaged. We are shortenin it by 30mm and reclockin the bottom so it clears the cradle.

Pix to follow

Man i hate coated bearings, found all my coatin in my sump...Should not be too scared as there is no metal shavings yet

Naf, your threads always lead me down a rabbit hole, this time with the APEXI ATS's. You have any experience with them ? Just trying to pass a local test ?

I have experience with them...

Used the 90mm on my tahoe and a couple rice racers.

Really dropped the tone to a purr and keeps it pitch perfect on the ears. Cops here are ******** and if gives the hint of none stock they will impound and its silly...

I have been away for a long time, and i think i found the issue for my high egt and normal afr...

My egt sensor is 3/4-7/8 into the pipe instead of 1/3-1/2. Will make adjustments tomorro and see how my current 1400F at idle can drop to a comfy 500F

Got a rear diffuser from Poland, should create a smoother rear appearance.

Is that just a generic diffuser or something specifically made for a CTS?

She is back under the knife. My oil tank is leakin around the welds.

Plus there is too much positive crank pressure. I am redoin the hoses to allow the pressure to escape. Also my trans cooler hoses are all crackin, need to be changed.

Tires are all dried up, waitin on some tires to be available soon.

Fun times... spendin more to keep her alive.
