csbrown28 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yes, it was a catchy title, and no I don't have anything for you. Really I'm just so frick'in happy I found what I found as I've been totally depressed since I bought my car a year ago because the performance has been so bad since I bought the car..... My car (2006 LGT 5EAT) manages, at best 7-sec 0-60 times, and while some here tell me that's about average, I know the car is running like crap. It just feels heald back. Something is wrong. I know the car wasn't abused before I got it with 40k (has 62 now) because I know the woman I got it from. Shes like 64. She took over payments from her son (and sold her car) who had bought it and got shipped off to Afghanistan a month later. When he came back he told her he didn't want it. So she kept it until 2011. I told her if she wanted to sell I would take it in a heart beat. Ok so, what happened? When I changed the air filter I took the shroud all the way out to look down inside. There were leaves and a f-ing paper towel jammed in the air intake tight as crap..... Ran my 0-60 1.5 sec faster. It's like having a new car and while at least 1/2 of you will berate me for not checking that in the first place, I'm just so frickin happy it can breath again!!!

csbrown28 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Now go stage 2. Plan is to replace the up-pipe and get a hi flow cat down and a tune to start. Work my way from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lieutenantcolumbo Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Clean the car wash soap out of you intercooler and you'll cut off another second. Just kidding. Good for you to find it though and share your experience for the benefit of others at the expense of taking a little ribbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
