i liked the color of my 03 LS8 enough, I figured why change :D http://i.imgur.com/hQpxAUN.jpg "Trevor" was a damned good car to me. ( we are weird and name cars in my house ) '03@110K miles, I got 5k in trade for it, which is about as much as I could reasonably expect. I hate it, but he was...

WRX Hatch

I at least owe it to the community that I learned so much from to disclose what I replaced it with. http://i.imgur.com/AFEHJeq.jpg Going from a damned nice RWD V8 to an AWD turbo H4 isn't quite the usual progression here, but it's been a blast. Thanks so much for having the cleanest...

Shipped

Sale Pending. will close thread out when it is out the door.

Did not receive

It was a good run, but it's time to retire my '03. Since I will be trading it, I returned it to the stock configuration. For sale is a K&N FIPK kit for any second gen LS 3.9L V8. SECOND GEN = 03 AND UP ONLY I have used this part for 10k miles. It has all the installation hardware, the heat...

2003 LS8 I had a little situation recently where it behaved like a classic coil misfire situation ( Low throttle, low RPM roughness and hesitation, slow to start). After replacing all the COP's and plugs, the issue persisted. I really didn't have much to go on, so I ran it until I finally...

Current and much lower than recently priced, 93 Amoco/BP Under 60 bucks for the first time in forever. There is a non-ethanol place a few miles down the road who, even at inflated prices could fill me at under 70 a tank.

Oh boy... sounds like I'll be in that other side soon enough. It's running a little better after what I changed out today ( coils and plugs on 3 and 4 ) but still not quite 100% I don't feel a skip but between 1500 and 2k I can hear it popping ever so slightly.

Fair enough. I dread the day I have to mess with that side. Sorry for coming off like I did. Also it looks like I have a leak in that cover to address. I found sand In there as well as what looked to be water stains. Once I got the coils off I took a shop vac to the tubes and that entire...

Well definitely found the problem. What concerns me is my warranty invoice said that plugs and coils tested good on 3 and 4. I am about 99%sure number 4 has never been pulled http://imgur.com/ESaJg.jpg Linked for size I am not a mechanic by trade, nor will I ever claim to know...

I couldn't seem to find anything definitive on this via searching. Are the cylinder numberings on a '03 V8 as follows? Passenger side front to back 1-2-3-4 Driver side front to back 5-6-7-8 Reason I ask is the last time I had the warranty COP replacement I was almost out of warranty, now I...

Intake Manifold Gasket. :Bang

It's got to be that hardline. Both rubber ends are bone dry fully pressurized, but that hardline is really the only thing back there that's running coolant ( besides the heater core which I am fairly certain is ok ) I know a guy in town who runs a damned honest shop ( if his conduct on a...
