MY LGT with 18"EV5s (Post #1766)

They are actually pretty rare - I've only seen about 3 other cars total with them:wub:

PS - they look pretty good on blue cars too;)

You can just buy 4 programmables, and program them to match the IDs of your OEMs. You will need to find a shop that has the proper programming tools first, because they cost about $1000. After that though, you don't have to screw with anything anymore.

Well - For ~$350 and 5 minutes worth of work the ATEQ Quickset seems to be the answer ($150) & 4 Sensors (~$50 each = $200)

Tirerack even lists that they can supply 4 Sensors for a 2009 LGT for $144 ($36/Each), you just need to get them programmed, so spending $1K just for sensors that don't need to programmed is ludicrous:cool:

Spotted 4 Spec B's and 5 LGT's at PAPA Customs today. Any one here?

Yup - Brilliant Silver LGT with Enkei EV5s parked in between two STI Hatches:p:cool:

Some pretty cool cars....

You could theoretically drop the oil pan and check whether there are any shavings in there. Maybe take off the valve covers and check for scoring on the cams too. Neither one of those is an easy task, though, and if not put back together right, will result in oil leaks.

 

Also, make sure you clean the OCVs (on top of the heads at the front corners of the engine) and remove the banjo bolt filter.

And FYI - If you took it extremely easy on that 1 hour ride you MAY be OK....

My 1st Turbo went south in NJ and I drove it back to CT without ever boosting more than 2 PSI and there were no engine issues.... 2nd the car was shut down immediately....

But you definitely need to at least pull the oil pan and inspect for metal shavings (at a minimum)

And I feel like my saving grace is that I run Amsoil, there's less risk if you are running a good synthetic:p

It's really car/case specific if the Turbo takes out the engine, but there is some hope:redface:

I hicksta'd my install, broke 2/3 zip ties. Anyone in MA have an extra metal zip tie from their install left over?

I got some at Home Depot a while back when I ran out while wrapping my Header;)

Once in a lifetime spotting (& hearing) of an Aston Martin DB5 in Wenham!

I'm going to guess they're not a forum member:p

Bare with me with this question but, planning on getting a stock 05 LGT, and I'd like to install 18"wheels, wrapped with 225/40/18 tires. Being the stock height and possible different offset, would this essentially keep the car near stock height, or drop it a tad? Or not make any noticeable difference? I honestly don't know.

My Enkei EV5s are +45 offset with 225/40/18s and they sit slightly further outside the fenders than stock.... But it's barely noticeable, and no drop in height at all. FYI that's the recommended tire size and a recommended wheel from Tirerack, so you can feel confident it's a non issue for fitment.

See page 118 of this thread for quick photo.

Level10 4EAT BulletProof Rebuild

Hartford - Parking in the lot next to Mckinnons pub ~ 6 PM. Looked like an 07-08 Silver GT with a big CTSubbie sticker on the back window.

I was right behind ya pulling in, and was gonna stop and say hi, but by the time we got out of the car you were already long gone

Probably went to the CT Whale game as it was gone when we got out of the game.

I saw a silver GT tearing it up on Day hill road in Windsor..

Could have been the wifey... She was late for a meeting in Shelton that morning.....

I only remember as she only goes down there about 2x a year and that date sticks in my head:cool:

Funny how I never get spotted in the 98 and I drive down 187 almost every day:hobbes:

05 Silver GT @ the Triple Crown Kayak Races in East Granby / Tarrifiville CT on Saturday:D

Was funny cause the wife actually noticed and said hey look it's our car why did you park it here when we can walk from the house:p
