DeebieSkeebiesany silverado owners on here? im taking over my dads 2012 silverado this summer and was wondering how you guys like them? probably will get a cap and was looking into getting ski racks and shit for inside of it.
My first vehicle was a 2002 Chevy 1500 HD extended cab. 6.0 liter v8 Vortec motor. Thing sucked gas (I know the new ones are a little better) but was an overall decent vehicle. Great for skiing and towing, shitty for everything else (at least for a highschooler). Kept it stock, the frame started rusting pretty bad and the brake lines even rusted through. Ditched it because it wasn't fun having to put gas in it every day I drove. The new ones are definitely better so Im sure you'll enjoy it.
Plans for the GTi before any more "cosmetic"shit:
Serpentine belt
Serpentine belt tensioner
Potentially timing chains/guides (really hope not)
Rear rotors and pads
"stage 2" suspension refresh kit (bushings, ball joints, tie rods, etc)
Get exhaust welded (its bolted right now)
Then I gotta fix a creaking coilover unless its the ball joint
Then once all thats done:
Front and rear spacers
Wheels
New paint or plastidip (doing a lot of research)
Under axel swaybar (for moar low)
GLI trim
Passat cluster
GLI Recaro seats
Gonna be a long, expensive summer. Probably won't even get half this shit done but whatever.

i dont own one but work provides one as a dd for me. does pretty good, i think mines an 07 or 08 with 190k+ miles, been pretty reliable actually. mine is the super base model with 0 upgrades but it works. i start to get nervous it won't last on 3+ hour drives but really just have to wait for it to die i suppose
Sorry, I forgot to post my imgur album so we can have a photo battle bruh.
Next time, though, I'll remember that if I ever want to critique something of yours I have to post some dope instagram-filtered-hipasfuck-photos to prove my worth as a real photographer.
It's a car that I have had my hand in building a long time, and tuned and fixed plenty of times. A really good friend of mine. Sorry. There isnt enough pictures being posted. Just people bitching about stance. I have driven this car probably 25-50 times and still drive it all the time.

Someones butthurt, never questioned your skills I just wanted to see some of your work so I could bash it for some amusement. Um neither of those are filtered "bruh" the first one had the levels adjusted in photoshop to take out some lows, and well the second one what can I say, we have some beautiful summer days in Canada, no filter whatsoever.

So everything was great with my Evo x until I took a trip to nh this week. Fucking 10 minutes from my friends house and a fucking moose runs into the side of my car. It completely dented the driver side rear door. Pics to come in the day.

I've got a Sierra with the 6.2L. It's the Denali had it since new in 07. It's been great so far, good on gas and comfortable on the highway. Got about 210000kms on it, had to do front rotors twice rears once, front wheel bearings ($$$), belts and tensioners, so mostly just maintenance. I've got a bakflip cover on it that is pretty handy.
last week I picked up a new daily, 06 Impreza Outback.
It's an autotragic car, but I'm okay with that seeing as my commute is 3+ hours a day.
I've got the exhaust done on it a few days ago, UEL header, no cat(spaced out the second o2 sensor for no engine light), local brand 14" straight through sport muffler, 20" Resonator, 2 4" tips out the rear.
Next steps are Ricelands, Adapters, and Tires. I've already picked up wheels, authentic Work Euroline DH's in 18", and I'm lending them to a friend for his cr-v(for teh lolz) until adapters come in and I buy tires.
Also, I have another car with bigger plans.
NA Miata, will get a big v8 and make cool noises and go fast. Looks like shit for now, but I'm spending money on getting my daily to look pretty first.

Exhaust video? Looks fucking sweet, straight piped boxers are nasty
OK I just watched some videos of 2.5rs exhaust and honestly to my ears the best sounds were straight piped, didnt sound that good though. And I find it funny that most subie kids around me think theyre STI should be dyno'd for a CAI and UEL headers when EL headers bring in more power.

I got a rugged ridge light bar on and a 4in rough country lift in my garage and 35s. 6 speed manual trans, 2012 wrangler. Fucking love my jeep to death. I named him maverick(:
Vid kinda sucks. There were some really nice cars there. Amd they all sound better than the boxer motor lol.
LOL vr6s are really damn nice sounding except all the ones down south here in Nashua and Milford sound not so good they all put the worst possible exhaust on them but I wouldnt mind a vr6 r32. Btw I prefer Evo exhausts over Subaru any day.

Yeah evo's sound good. And you gotta spend the money to get the VR to sound good. Most kids just throw a muffler on there and thats why they can sound like shit. And I even think the 12v can soumd more aggressive than the 24v's, but I love my 24v. Anyways, will post a pic when its nic out.

Yeah they're mostly beat up down here and most dont have a high budget to spend on their cars, but theres a 90% Euro shop 10 minutes from my house run by mostly VW guys that do a lot of vr-t swaps but I never see them on the road.
