- Mon Oct 27, 2014 2:51 am #349420 So I started my car today and it was just staying at 5K rpms the whole time... My brother thinks it's a sensor. Is there a sensor before the throttle body that I dont know about? I didnt have this problem before installing my short ram intake. Someone help! :cry: :thumbdown:

Got the new PS Rack in. Works well. Found out the reason why my idle was high. The gas pedal is sticky. So It was stuck up there. Fixed it. Also took her for a test drive and It drives really well, just smokes A LOT. But I rub all the time with my 17's. So I'm selling those and buying some LS Meshies for $140. I think its a good deal. Give me your opinions on whether or not this is a good deal. 140 without tires.

- Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:11 pm #349574 That deal seems decent. I see them going for like $250 with tires around me but that's va. But I've seen some up to $350 but they were real clean and had fresh tires. I'd be happy paying $140 for them :thumb:

Good deal imo. :woot:

- Sat Nov 08, 2014 2:36 am #349725 got my new wheels! The paint is really bad, so I'll be re-painting it on sunday. Probably will polish the lips as well. :thumb:
I'm most likely going to have to run spacers though so I dont rub on the inside lip. :roll:

- Mon Nov 10, 2014 4:34 am #349773 Lol thanks. That one took 7 hours of sanding and it still needs to be sanded with 1500 grit :D then I'm going to hit it with some wheel polish. Getting tires maybe Tuesday.
