What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[mr evil]

pretty damn bright. lol.

I thought the exact same thing! Holy sh*t, you sure you'll be able to see out the window with that shining in your face? 8)

Well not today, but this weekend. Put in new wheel bearings and brake lines in the front, and installed my new B&M Hammer Shifter. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks and shifts. 8)

Looks good, got one too and really like it. Make sure it's well lubed, I had a little scare while bump shifting one time...the lockout didn't drop and I bumped into neutral and almost into reverse :shock:

Thanks. It seemed well lubed when we put in in, but I'll keep checking. Does it loosen up over time?

As with all things, nothings perfect, including my installation skills 😳 but just thought I'd share that experience with you. I followed instructions to a tee, and I could only surmise that it was hooking or dragging somewhere, nothing was readily apparent so I added some extra lube to ensure it moved freely.
Last thing you need is to be pounding through gears with the throttle heavy and have that thing hit reverse.

Btw, this was when I had about 400hp under the hood in a previous car, still have the shifter, but much less power at the moment 8)

I guess I'll just have to keep checking it periodically. My dad had a good idea when we installed it. We put the supplied bolts through the bottom of the car and put nuts on them so they are pretty much studs. They we put the shifter on top and bolted it down. Seems to be much stronger that way.

I changed the turn signal switch, driver's side brake lites had a mind of their own and I like people to see when I hit the brakes. I also don't like to give the police any reason to pull me over if I can help it. I have to change the 3rd brake lite bulb and have to figure out how to get to it...

and I received this today regarding the complaint I sent to BF Goodrich for the M&S designation on the G force Comp 2.

"Thank you for your return email. We welcome the opportunity to serve you.

BFGoodrich® g-Force Sport COMP-2™ tires currently have an “M+S” engraving on the sidewall. The tires meet the Rubber Manufacturing Association’s definition of what is required for a tire to be branded “M+S”:

However, we realize that the marking is causing some confusion in the market since the tire is designed for summer use in the Ultra High Performance category.

Because of the confusion, BFGoodrich is in the process of removing the “M+S” marking. The branding will be removed between June 2012 and December 2012, as allowed by our production schedule.

Steve, please provide the tire size you have and we will gladly check when the non-M+S marked tires will be available."

Went out in the garage and looked at it. It's 111 here today, So I just said to hell with it and went back in the AC. 😳
