George1 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is George, now George1. I had some troubles the last website update and could not get back in. I was able to access through tapatalk but still had the old Colorado e-mail, and tried to change it in tapatalk, ended up inadvertently changing my password and, yeah...... I've been updating the Grand National over the winter, new fuel tank, 340L pump, #80 injectors w/ chip (E85 conversion, now I can run #28- 30 boost instead of 15- 16), larger intercooler and 3.5in down pipe. I installed new valve springs, upper plenum (powder coated to match valve covers), rear upper control arms, UMI performance 1" lowering springs and a #30 boost gauge. I updated my custom factory look driving lights with some nice pilot brand lights (not just for looks any more). I still have a few more things to put together before I can drive it. 1994 Cutlass Vert: I have been enjoying driving it over the winter. I still need to fix the rear windows (switches or motors, not sure yet). I need to get the top snugged up, fix some new separations in the seat leather (probably just swap out the covers with some spares) I ordered some new Continental Extreme Contact DW tires (255/45-17) for the summer. I will post photos when installed. Old photo: 2in lower than stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have those tires on my A4. They are worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Good to know. They had good reviews and I like the tread pattern better than the DWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Mine are the DWS. It's a quattro. Need the S for that car since it sees snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see some updated pics soon.Well, only you would recognize this from last summer when we picked up those stewardess' at the airport bar and partied all night at the Sheraton Bayfront Hotel. You and the double D blonde were fighting over who was going to nibble on the hairy mole on my inner thigh.I don't know what they put in our drinks because I was just as surprised as you when we woke up with no clothes on, spooning on the beach at the Presque Isle state park. You asked. LOL! Heartbeat1991 and Imp558 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
