What did you do to your GTO today??
 
All the other boards have them. Why not start ours?

What'd you do to your Goat today?

Nothing today. But I have a pile of projects waiting to get worked on! First on the list is the H-Box and Pypes Exhaust!

Nothing today and won't be for awhile. Both the Goats are hibernating at least untill May. Really thinking of installing a super charger. Our Goats are not the king of the hill anymore with all the new muscle being over 400 hp gonna have to do something to stay on top lol. I just can't stand my buddies super charged Camaro getting my Goat at the track!

Our supercharged G8 test car is awesome...people always roll up to it thinking....stupid four door. Ohhh little do they know :)

Installed my new gauge cluster only to find out that I need to have it programmed with a Tech II, *&&%$!!

Disconnected the battery tender from my '05

Wheels on the '70 are out for sand blasting then will be restored.
Touched up paint in wheel wells frame rails.... for now.....

The order from PY to restore the wheels are in a box sitting waiting to be used.

Test-fitted PY's new "GTO" badge. This was just a sample. Production run coming soon!

Test fitted our new Fender Badges. The fit and look is superb. These are even better than GM's quality!

Been missing it all week. I've got another week before I go home and get to drive it again :( I have all kinds of little projects to choose from though!

Last night I threw on a new P&P stock TB, really increased throttle response dramatically.

eric_cspan 01-02-2014 10:38 AM

Getting it inspected this weekend!

shawshank 04-09-2014 11:13 AM

We should probably bump this up since I'm sure someone out there is working on their Goat!

I recently did new plugs, wires, and added some nice fiberglass sleeves to help with header heat. I have a new headunit on the way, a cluster trim gauge pod which needs to be fabricated, drilled/tapped GTO OFAC plate to add for my oil pressure sender, struts/shocks/springs/bushings/tie rod ends, and primary O2 sensors which all need to be installed! A little backlog...:burnout::usa2:

Replaced the trunk struts on our test vehicle. Man, what a difference. The rear panel literally broke because of all the slamming!

We're reproducing these hood/trunk struts ourselves and will be dipping them in CF :)

Reprogrammed the shift light to a real rpm , had it at 5000 so I could see it light up without screaming around the neighborhood too fast.
Replacement Aeroforce gauge coming in today one went out after unplugging to program shift light. They look good in the SCSS gauge pod.
Cussing about how bad the clear is lifting and the paint those Aussies used!

Notice any difference with the Vararam? Might need a tune as well.

OVERULD 06-05-2014 10:01 AM

We really couldn't tell much difference. I was really surprised that there was not any change in the sound of induction like there was when I installed a RotoFab CAI on my 09 G8 GXP. That made such a difference that it also actually increased the exhaust note. We haven't considered a tune but may do so. We're having the headliner replaced next Tuesday. I've learned that this is a common issue on these cars, especially if they sit outside in high heat states like Florida, where this care spent the bulk of its life.
