    • Howdy y'all, I am wanting to improve the performance of my 08 Grand Prix GXP, but am finding myself a bit limited thanks to its unique front-wheel drive setup, despite being an LS engine. One easy mod that I have heard moderately improves performance is a cold air intake, but I am in a bit of a rut with that in terms of legality. Unfortunately, I live in Utah wherein we abide by California's CARB laws/regulations, meaning any aftermarket part I put on my vehicle requires CARB approval. I have tried searching for something that may work but keep coming up empty. Best option appeared to be a K&N intake, but it isn't CARB approved. Sure, I could just do some swappy swap or whatnot before taking her to get checked, but I'm too poor to get caught breaking the law, so I can't take any chances, even if I disagree with the law in question. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    • Hey y'all, sorry for not responding to this right away, but I figured the more time to confirm the issue the better. Turns out my theory that it was the Active Fuel Management (DOD) system causing the issue was accurate. I disabled it with a DiabloSport tuner, and she immediately stopped burning oil. Been almost 10k miles since then and no puffs of smoke and I haven't needed to top off the oil outside regular oil changes. I figured it was worth making this note and resolution here for anyone in the future with a similar issue. Ancient forum threads with no resolution are one the banes of my existence. In case she starts burning oil again, I'll keep these instructions in mind. Thanks for your suggestion on what might be going bad.
    • I am good friends with Guitars Extreme (GE). He lives in southern North Carolacki. He is a madman with a wrench and a torch. He has crazy fab skills. He is also as about genuine southern redneck as you can get. He embodies “hold ma beer, watch this,”. His grandpa was a shiner. The folks at Petty’s Garage refers to his ‘08 Challneger SRT as the Deer Slayer’s car because of the number of deer he has killed with that car, yet is the second stupid-fast car I have ever driven.    I may never fully understand Southern, and I am glad. GE’s level of madness and genius quite frankly scares the bejeezus out of me. I think to myself, my life ain’t that bad either.
    • Sure..    I just wish the Yankees would steer clear.   It is Easy to make fun of a Life you will Never understand. (Hopefully)
    • I have two full size 1966 Pontiacs four-door rides.  My wife's is a 66 Bonneville four-door hardtop and mine is a 66 Star Chief Executive four-door sedan.  I got the Bonneville to be a parts car for my Star Chief but well we all know how that goes lol.   AANNNNNNYYYWAYS ... Has anybody converted their full size 65-66 Pontiac (or any years other I guess) from a column shifter to a floor shifter AND kept the bench seat up front? I'm thinking about finding a center console and cutting it short so it sits between the dash and the front bench seat.
