Massive G8 Detail Day.

[SSEimatt93]

Gotta love a day that starts out crappy that turns out excellent. Detailed the entire car today, needed it badly. After the last few weekends of snow, gravel, and rain.

Blocks of wood to slowly creep the car onto the hoist at work



got a bit dirty...


Solid, U-jointless Driveline, made possible by a solid mounted Independent suspension Diff.

Instuctions on how to check the trani fluid level.


Yuk! Time to clean the insides of them wheels!

Thats better, Degreased, washed, wiped and CD2'd.























Last but not Least...My House! Litte over a month to go!

Nice Matt. So to check the trans fluid level, you pull the plug and it drips? That's how our 60 year old tractors are, lol!!

Looks good!!

[Greyhare]

Looks good Matt.

Please tell me the speedometer is in Mph not Kmh. 180Kph=111.8468Mph

That car should be able to peg that with ease.

[SSEimatt93]

You can run it in either Km/h or MPH, i normally run it in KPH in town and MPH on the highway.

[J Wikoff]

I forget, is yours an 09.5 (has bluetooth)?

[myfirstbonnie]

Love it! Looks good Matt, can't wait to see it in person.

[01bonne]

Car looks great, and I like the true duals

[SSEimatt93]

Bluetooth? Yes.

[J Wikoff]

That's weird, because you've got the 361 hp exhaust instead of the 09.5 355 hp extra-cats-in-front-of-the-center-muffler-exhaust.

09.5



08-09

[SSEimatt93]

I thought all G8 GTs were 361?

[J Wikoff]

09.5 got two extra cats for emissions changes and lost 7 rated hp.

[Peterg22000]

its not an 09.5 they where not availiable in Canada. also there are not and extra cats..

the 355 HP if rated with regular gas and the 361 is with premium (at least thats what I've read)

[J Wikoff]

Do you see the smaller center muffler and two extra cats in front of it? Cars that got that exhaust match the breakpoint for 09.5 and the 355 hp rating.

The premium vs regular fuel power rating was balony. Engines are rated on their recommended fuel. False advertising if they aren't.

[2000Silverbullet]

Extra cats or not, that is one sweet ride Matt.

You should be very proud.

I can honestly say that your car is cleaner than mine.

[wjcollier07]

Wow. You're not foolin' around when you detail the underside of any car.

They sure didn't waste much space under there....pretty advanced drive train and suspension designs...no stone left unturned there.

Now for that pesky dealer sticker to get outta there!

Hot car...very..very hot car. Dare I say it...too good to wear even a Bonneville badge.

So when are you going to do the SLP Loudmouth exhaust? (Basically just cutting out the mufflers)

[2000Silverbullet]

Keep it stock Matt.
Save your money for your house.

I wouldn't go loudmouth, the drone would be insanly intolerable.. however I'd hit the "Powerflows" like no bodys buisness... oh wait, I already did.

Matt, even if you don't plan much on mods (which I doubt, the mod bug bites HARD with these cars) Do a CAI, you will never drive your car without a huge grin on your face!

[00Beast]

What about the "washer" mod??

[J Wikoff]

Yay for the washer mod!
