Not in a Beretta anymore but still in a GM

Post by The09GXP »

Well I am not in a Beretta anymore, but I am still running the GM name plate. I now have a 09 Pontiac G6 GXP Sedan with a 3.6L and 6spd auto trans. I have a Crabs intake system and Vibrant 2.5" exhaust installed on it, and just ordered a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs for the car as well.

Not bad, I had a couple friends who used to have G6s... One was a 3.9/6sp coupe and the other was a GTP 3.6 sedan. That 3.6 is pretty quick and the 6-speed auto keeps it in the powerband nice. Not to mention I'm sure it sounds good with that exhaust on it, especially at high RPM.

So hopefully this sedan is getting dropped soon. I am looking into buyin H&R springs tomorrow for it and that should just about make it tuck tires.

I bought eibach springs for the fiance's g6 gt sedan and hopefully I will be lowering 2 g6's next weekend.

the 3.6/auto would probably pwn the 3.9/6-speed. Not that the manual isn't more fun to drive though.

F40 only came with the 3.9L, the 3.6 was only available with the 6spd auto.

The front end screams at me: "Don't talk to me that way, I drive a Dodge Stratus!"

I'm sure you'll have it looking killer in no time. Your cars always look good.

The blinged out grills are going to be flat black as of this evening. Hopefully my H&R's will be here either today or tomorrow. I decided to use the eibachs on the girls g6 gt sedan.

Tires, lug nuts, spacers, and TPMS ordered to install the wheels on the car.

Did you get all the right TPMS stuff? I just went through this with my Subaru. I needed the ATEQ Quick TMPS tool to reprogram the ECM and then the ATEQ Activation tool to wake up my new sensors since they are in a deep sleep when you buy them. I know some GM models can be done with a strong magnet though.

I can actually learn the STS just by changing the tire pressure 3-4 PSI.

Learning and activating new sensors are two different things.

I can have two sets and just push one button on a tool to learn the sensors to my car if I swap rims, as long as they are not brand new and in a deep sleep. They will wake up as soon as you start driving if they've been activated once before, If not mine need a 10 sec frequency burst to wake them up.
