I change out the dash cluster because my original one wasn't dictating miles or trip. Sooo... the car wouldn't start. So I swapped out the board and had found out it was related to the key that starts the car. Car starts fine and the digital mile counter read outs with replacement cluster. I also found some like new headlights and they polished up nice and found a very clean trunk mat.

Actually, both my 4:10 and 3:55 calculations were way off, Burton.

Anyhow after reflashing in the correct revs per mile, my actual cruising speeds with 3:55 axle ratio were 55 mph between 1500-1800 rpm in 5th gear and then 60 mph at around 1900 rpm in 5th gear and then finally 75 mph at 2400 rpm in 5th gear. At any rate, I should have definitely paid more attention to say the very least lol.

Took my car out yesterday on a nice day trip with the wife. Went up to Littleton NH, about 2 hours each way.
Ended up putting more than 300 miles on it, and we had a great time doing it

I had the front end aligned which made a huge difference, the toe was out a bit. Then I installed a new set of pads and clips on the rear rotors. Changed oil in all my vehicles and found some issues,one of the serpentine belts was starting to break apart so I replaced that.I inspect everything when I open the hood or raise the car, preventative maintenance can save you big money and time.

I changed the oil, filter, ProCharger oil, and air filter today, then gave it a much needed wash since it rained here 5 days in a row. Also changed the oil on my wife's Saturn and did a headlight restore on it.

Car is in the shop I have a question to everyone ? Any one having a popping noise coming from the rear end when they go to accelerate from a dead stop or shifting gears if you have a manual at slower speeds? If so what fixed the problem?

Axle nut. Get a socket to fit it and a torque wrench and re torque it. Every car I have owned that had a axle nut has had to be torqued around 40k or sooner. The rougher you drive it the more often it will have to be re torqued. Truly it is no big deal. I have not had to do mine yet but here is a link to how it is done. Look at step 19 for proper torque amount and instruction.

Added these Roush rear valance aero foils to the rear. It adds just enough to be different.

Nice! I got estimates for my front and rear bumper repairs, and got my new tires ordered. The rears are already here...
