Heh, I know!!! I wanted to post in your thread first!!!

I've been uploading these pics. Tomorrow, I'm gonna try for some video.

Yeah I've been beating the **** out of this car. Driving for hours each day!!! Went through three tanks of gas between Saturday and today!!!

During the day, AC blasting, stuck in traffic, and the temp under 200... Awesome.

Anyway, here they are, taken by my wife, photographer.






Here's the scavenger pump:




The new rear




Under the car

awesome!! did you get any action on the street through those tanks? How does it feel when you jam the happy foot-button? Dammit man, I need details for vicarious living... When does the boost come on? When you are in boost RPMS at light throttle, how fast does it come on when nalied?

What kind of rubber is on the back of your ride?

With Nitto 555 DR's, they smoke 2nd gear easily... Need a tight hand on the steering wheel!

Full boost (7 psi from the wastegate spring) at 3k rpm! I can't ask for anything more! It's exactly what I wanted.

You gotta hear it! When I get home from work tomorrow, I'm going to try to get a video with some sound of the car hauling ***. As you can see from the pics, I don't exactly have a muffler. It does not sound raspy at all. It ******* BOOMS like thunder, though! Thundering bass that makes the street shake, according to a friend of mine.

Third gear loads up nice with the 3.73's and pulls nasty! Third and fourth have been fun... First gear is gonna start getting dusty.

do you have the stock rear

you need some higher gears like a 3.50 or even a 3.25 or so
1 st gear is just to get rolling then it is useless above 2500 to 3000 rpm at anything above 1/2 throttle on my car with a 3.50 gear

but I don't have DRs on but I dont think that it would matter

it is a blast to drive and 4th gear pulls at around 3000 rpm RULE

I've got a Moser 12 bolt. I know the 3.73's aren't very popular, but being that I'm a convertible, I'm not going to be running on the track. I will never cage it. Anyway, for the street, I can't complain... fourth and fifth gears pull really freaking hard when I'm doing over 100... And even in second gear, at 3,000-3200 RPM, I'm in full boost already just like 3, 4, and 5. First gear is the one that's completely useless now. The DR's are a little forgiving, but spin nonetheless.

Let me ask you a question earlier today(super bowl sunday) around 545pm and 6pm were you driving down 8th. towards 137th ave? I saw the car and i remember seeing photos of yours but didn't think anything of it because i didn't realize you had gotten your car back. If it was you car it sounded terrific cruising, i was even thinking to myself damn what kind of exhaust does that car have.

I was parked at the Shell gas station on 132nd and 8th street buying 2 12 packs of beer for the big game It sounds awesome and i didn't notice it till you had passed the 132nd light. By the way have you ever taken your car to Autocity Buick Pontiac GMC of Pinecrest on US1 & 134 street?

Twice... The service manager there is really cool, well, last time I went. Eddy was his name I think. It's been a while. I try my best to avoid dealers, but the two times I have taken it to one for some warranty work has been to Eddy at Auto City, well, when it was still called Hallet Pontiac/GMC.

Why do you ask?

Yeah i know Eddy has a mustache (if thats how you spell it). I used to work there from August of '04 to May or June of '05 and i remember talking to a guy who had a car identical to yours. I remember because eddy told the guy his son had a black WS6 and when i went up to the guy and said i had a black ws6 he thought i was eddy's son. It was MRM and convertible, at the time it had the stock hurst option i believe.

This is too funny and coincidental... Yeah, that guy was me. I was there getting a rear tail lamp replaced, an alignment of the top, and some other little things... Back when I still had warranty, of course, if I recall correctly. You might find this even more coincidental: I used to work there as well but back in '98 or '99 as a salesman for about half a year... That's when I fell in love with the 4th gen's.

It's a small world, huh?

On topic, my passenger window motor decided to finally go out on me and it took forever to get it up (unbelievable f***ing timing... when I was enjoying my car back). I didn't take the pics but I'm taking them today, especially the crossover pipe. I'll have them up later.
