What are your modding plans for 09

[GRRRR8]

I was just curious to see what mods some will be doing for 09. Now that more and more parts are becoming available for the G8, modding will be much easier then it was early this year. For myself the list is long and will begin in mid Jan. I have been collecting parts to save time, but here is the 09 list and we will all see how far we get.
Vector Motorsports custom cam/heads and tune. No DOD.
Circle D Speciaties 3600 stall w/trans cooler and braided hoses
Vararam
Oil catch can and braided hoses
Billet fuel rails and braided hoses
Light weight wheels- 17x9.5 rear 17x4 front
Autometer gauges in HSV center pod
Corsa mufflers
Pedders XA Coilovers
And a low 11sec time slip!

[GM_Fan]

For the G8 I will do a CAI, Tune, and maybe headers.

I still have the GTO. If I sold it I'd have plenty of mod money. I still have mods sitting in the garage that needs to still be installed on the GTO. Money has been tight since my future is so unsure at the time.

[GRRRR8]

I have been collecting parts for 4 months. If it wasnt for the great vendors/sponsors on this site, none of this would be possible with the current economy.

[BW G8GT]

My initial mod wish list for 2009:

1. New Era OTR CAI
2. Corsa catback exhaust
3. A tune
4. Pedders Street 2 with drop

I'm concerned the first three mods may cause issues come smog check time.
All this modding stuff is new to me, but should I be concerned?

[GRRRR8]

No reason to be concerned. Just swap your stock airbox back in come smog check time and you will be fine.

[Darkside]

Performance- Lt's and full exhaust (not positive on brand yet), H/C setup through Vector or Livernois, Vararam, and tune. I'd like to do a stall and possibly gears, but sit back a little while to see whats working for others.

Appearance- tint, wheels (leaning towards GTS), Gts fenders. Gts front end if money allows.

[BW G8GT]

Thanks GRRRR8

[GeorgeInNePa]

I've got all the rear bushings from Pedders on the way. The Xa coil-overs are ordered. The front will get done when the coil-overs get here, the sway bars too.

I'm going to do the GM Hot Cam, thanks to Charlie, and I will have the heads done.

Late next year, my birthday is in July- lol, I will do either a Procharger or a TT system. The HOB system is where I'm leaning now.

[TheTugBoat]

#1 headers, cam, heads, vararam
#2 pedders something kit + dr's
#3 8.8 kit from hendrix (if it happens)
#4 D1sc and supporting mods
#5 10 sec slip

[GRRRR8]

I'm going to do the GM Hot Cam, thanks to Charlie.


No thanks required

TT Cheater! lol Thats it 500 shot just for you! :nah:

[99-LS1-SS]

IF I ever get the GXP I plan on getting a CAI then a tune and then LT headers. I'm going to have to wait a little while for big mods. I'm on the fence about wheels. I can't decide whether to buy after market wheels or have the stock wheels widened for the stealthy factor. Currently I'm leaning towards widening the stock wheels.

[RB Designs]

add meth kit, boost-a-pump, remove DOD, blower cam
one off rear facsia insert , stereo stuff, Dash Hawk,
come up with a better air filter location for the Procharger,
replace ant. with painted Cady finned one, HushMat whole car,
paint the inside of tail lights body color, make hood functional............

[BP505]

HSRK and SLP/Powerbond UD pulley go in Jan 9.
Yank 3200 stall w/ trans cooler targeted for summer
Ported intake and TB

[GRRRR8]

That will put you in the 12s with ease. You might add DRs to the list......your gonna need them! :)

[MANOFSTEEL69]

Magnacharger and that's probably it. I don't want to have to cage my car.

[It's A G8!]

ARH long tube headers, Vararam or NEP OTR intake, Tune and pay all the bills.

[-Ray-]

Can we get some love for the heavy duty axles youll need.lol:)

I need to get the HP to need 'em 1st. LOL
I'm working on it, I'm working on it.....

[GRRRR8]

So far it looks like a lot of modding will be getting done in 09.

[99-LS1-SS]

make hood functional............

That would actually be a pretty cool thing. For the Procharger that is. Reroute the air coming into the scoops to an enclosure right where the filter is on the Procharger system. Kind of like the LS based Camaro SS hood.

[wreckwriter]

ProCharger really would benefit most from a cowl induction setup. Too bad nobody makes just a flat glass hood, could glass on the cowl scoop easily enough.

[wreckwriter]

As for my plans, I'll be ordering the ProCharger very soon. That and a rear-end/gear change should put me where I want to be.

[G8H8]

Well, lets see.....

After-market wheels
Magna-Charger
Looking at the OTR Intake but want to know if it will work with the magna-charger

[G8GT721]

Track II Kit - Jan(5th and 6th at Wretched)
Procharger/Headers - Spring
Dashhawk and a good radar detector -TBD
Extra tires and goo off

[G8GTlawride]

Only plans are to take the car to Fasterproms for dyno tuning of the stock ECM. Other than that, unless something else is offered I cannot do without, that is pretty much it for the go fast stuff. I do have the painted engine cover from Roto Fab and that oil catch can from Jamesbiz already ordered.

[PontiacDan]

For me:

1) working on stereo right now(two RF Power T1s & Hifonics BXi2008d amp at 1ohm)

2) window tint

3) full exhaust(longtubes & matching mid section, leaning towards pypes violators mufflers), CAI & HPtuners software, tuned at PCMforless(about 1.5hrs from me)

4) wheels & suspension--either 20 or 22s and a slight lowering



Just gotta see how much OT I can squeeze in at work, and I got several things I want to finish at the house too, so we'll see

[GRRRR8]

Somebody needs to do this!

[wreckwriter]

Somebody needs to do this!

I agree! That and the fuckin dipstick :devil:

[GRRRR8]

I agree! That and the fuckin dipstick :devil:

Somebody PLEASE make a dipstick for a G8! This will add years to Toms life. lol

[wreckwriter]

Somebody PLEASE make a dipstick for a G8! This will add years to Toms life. lol

Maybe that's why nobody has done it.... :confused:

[Mike P]

Somebody PLEASE make a dipstick for a G8! This will add years to Toms life. lol

My plans are for a cam! :)

What a surprise.... (I know) :)

A cam? Whats that do? Where does it go? LOL!

[zosoboogie]

1. Haddad Motorspors Stage 2 Magnacharger Package (Catted)
2. Baer front brake system
3. 2008 or 2009 Chevy Tahoe to replace 2002 trailblazer not the glorious g8
4. Promising to stop modding midway through the year!!

[Robert@KBXPerformance]

Charlie why is it that I do not see spray on your list??? Why just go low 11's? :)

[GRRRR8]

If it runs 11.30s, you will be getting the call! It wont take much spray for the 10.99

[bubblyjock]

1 7/8" Kooks LT's with matching high flow x-pipe (Ordered today, Hopefully get it either next week or the week after and put em on that weekend), re-tune from VMS. Some GT or GTS Breyton's. And I am on the fence about a stall. Then hopefully get married sometime (that's why I need to get as much done now as possible!):lame:

I can tell you that a converter will wake that pig right up. ;)

13QTR likes his gears.

Either will help getting our 2 ton cars moving.

I plan on adding gears... ;)

[Featherburner]

I'm not doing much.

1)ARH Longtubes w/cats.
2)Underdrive pulley.
3)Oil catch can.
4) Some Pedders bushings here and there.
5)BMR subframe connectors.
6)BMR lower control arms.
7)Vararam intake.
8)HSRK
9)Tune.
10)Ported intake and throttle body.
11)Possibly new rims and tires.
That's for the G8. I don't even want to think about what the Firehawk is getting.

[billyb21]

future mods: already have the strut bar but need better weather since the struts need to be dropped but at the same time i was thinking about springs and struts from pedders dont see a need to make it faster cause holy s--- after the trans was reprogramed it seems much quicker and the shift ponts are there the last fast car i had was a 79 pontiac trans am with a built 350 and a 4 speed so you now what i mean about fast

[The Commodore]

My plans are an intake of some sort. Which is up to the various companies to sway me.

[Kermit]

I'm picking up my Kook's LT headers and X-pipe today and then will have to wait to install until I can figure which intake to get. Vararam or maybe the new roto fab ram air when it get's done. Then I can get it tuned.
I'm on the pre-order list for the Pedders XA Coilovers and ordered the street 1 package to make it a street II kit. Also ordered the Strut bar brace.
Never did this much with my 97 GTP so I'm having fun this time. :)

Thats all! I thought you were going to mod it. LOL

[Featherburner]

Thats all! I thought you were going to mod it. LOLHeads, cam, supercharger in 2010.
:)

[GRRRR8]

Heads, cam, supercharger in 2010.
:)

That sounds more like it! :woohoo:

[bobyoung]

I'd like to put a mild cam in mine this spring. This speed stuff is addicting.
Maybe Procharger blower.

[johnh]

Lets see:

08: SS Steering Wheel, Two Tone Shift Knob, All Season Tires, and a Tune.

For 09: New Wheels (Thinking ASA AR9s), Tint, CAI
If the budget works: LTH

For 10:
Cam

For 11:
Maggie

[foreosu]

With a new baby on the way, it'll be tough to put some money away for some mods, but I have already gotten the go-ahead from mommy-to-be for me to drive up to VMS for my tune/CAI package. After that, the only thing I would be tempted to get is a cat-back system, but this is doubtful.

After the tune and CAI, I will most likely look for a slightly used set of 19" stock wheels/tires for cheap. I like my 18" wheels ok, but I love the 19" look.

[CanadianEh]

CAI- not sure which yet
Tune- Hopefully from Vector as of now
Headers- Looking at ARH
Rims/tires- Way to many to choose from.. might be a while
HSRK- Vector

Probably not starting till the snow melts but I might get bored

[jbradsh1]

CAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!:woohoo:

[09PBMGT]

I think I'm done for awhile.... The wife has the checkbook and has just caught on to my mods...... Too late for her, but too early for me. My sig, unfortunately, has been put on hold. My bolt ons, are on hold, but my upgrades should be back in the works (cam, interior upgrades) as soon as summer comes around. Time will tell! :wacko:

[GEE8GEETEE]

Probably just the basics this year: NE OTR Intake, Exhaust, Tune, HSRK. Maybe a couple others.

['02 ws6]

ARH 1 3/4 system w/ stock mufflers, VaraRam, VMS HSRK, Powerbond/SLP U/D pulley, Faster Proms ported intake/TB, TCM/ECM tune by local tuner via HPT, going nitrous tune to match the 125 wet shot (already have nitrous kit).
BlackBerry8830/4.2.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/104

[avintegrator]

I'm going to do a few performance upgrades as well as asthetic. 6.0L badges, G2 paint kit for my brakes, maybe the flying V badge as well.
Vavaram for sure, maybe a Vector tune if i can swing it and not get caught by the wife but i really want to put some axle-back exhaust on. The car is just to quiet. It needs to sound like a V8! My mom's Denali sounds better but not for long. I think i want to do the vavaram and the exhaust 1st then get the tune that way i don't have to adjust the tune because of new toys.

Maybe if we send the president a link to this site he would see that WE are the people that are stimulating the economy! The banks are just hoarding the money, give it to us and let us spend it! If i was president there would be MODS for ALL!
:auto:

['02 ws6]

Not a good idea. Remember Hillary is on his staff and a note saying, "We're stimulating the economy by buying parts to make our G8s faster!!" Will only enrage her. Remember she's the anti-V8 DEVIL!!!!!!!
BlackBerry8830/4.2.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/104

[JoeSyko]

I'm thinking for sure a Tune & CAI....possibly HSRK as well. We'll see after that.

[KaiserM715]

Here are my plans:
-Kooks LT Headers (to be installed tomorrow!!)
-Dash Hawk (not sure if this counts as a mod - installed tomorrow)
-Vararam
-HSRK (purchased - waiting for Vararam for installation)
-VMS ECM / TCM tune (waiting for Vararam)

After this, I think I will likely be done, at least for '09...

[Blackdevil77]

Either Livernois stage 1 cam and circle-D stall and Magnaflow axle-backs, or Kaltech custom grind cam instead of the Livernois cam. Whichever is cheaper :)

[Executor999]

On my agenda for 2009:

Mods
Heater Hose Relocation
Intake Cover Removal
Pedders Suspension Track II with Drop Springs
Custom Grind COMP Cam
DOD Delete
ARH 1 3/4 LT's
Ported Intake and TB
160 degrees stat
Dyno Tune

however, a 1900 TVS Magna Charger is starting to appeal to me too. :)

[mjf232]

B-Day coming up next month so I'm gonna go with
1. new era otr cai
2. magnaflow cat-back
3. 6.0 gen-4 fuel rail covers from crazy paul

My only concern is today at the dealer I was b.s.'n at check out (ordered my 3rd driver's side wiper blade) and mentioned the cat-backs and they told me all after-market mods will void the warranty. I believe this is bull as i posted this on another forum and was told so. doesn't matter cause I'm still doin them anyway!

[Devilish34]

NEP CAI installed today
next up a tune

[Defeater]

Paint job:

Yessss.....

[edmanet]

Cam, head work, tune, and converter -> Being installed at Livernois
as I type this

BMR trailing arms -- on order

[GRRRR8]

It looks like the modding craze has begun! I looked back at what I posted and I am happy to say that it all got done............AND THEN SOME!! lol Still a few things on the list that I will do this summer, but damn, I have a rolling G8 parts catalog now!

[Blackdevil77]

Cam, stall, beef up the tranny N drive shaft. Drag radials!!!

[-Ray-]

Circle D converter is next for me. I need to give them a call and get it rolling. I want to do this before I do a cam.
I would like a chance to see how what I've done so far stacks up. So..it's off to the track, then a converter. Then back to the track.

[GRRRR8]

Sounds like a good plan Ray.

[wreckwriter]

Nothing. I'm done.

[GRRRR8]

Nothing. I'm done.

I dont know if thats even possible Tom! When this round is done for me its on to the interior mods, trick gauges, shift light etc. Then the 3.27 or 3.45 diff. Then start builing a REAL motor, pull this one if I dont blow it apart and put it in my C3 Vette(this motor in that car = hi 10s!) and then..........who knows!

agreed! enough is never enough for guys like us!!

[GM_Fan]

I have to figure out whether to mod or sell my 2004 GTO 1st.

[GPDAN]

1. Underdrive Pulley
2. Ported throttle body and Manifold
3. Pedders sways, bushings and strut tower brace
4. Catch Can

[EcoBrick Bob]

DAMN!!!! Wife just cut up the CC cards..... 3rd time this month.....

AND I HAD SUCH BIG PLANS FOR THE TOYS!!!!!

Anyone know where I can get a "Stealth" card????

[1bad03snake]

I bought a magna flow axle back and I'm looking into a converter and a cam swap. I was kinda shocked at the few quotes I got. $4K for a cam/converter swap.... I miss the cost of modding my 03 cobra compaired to modding this family car.

[GeorgeInNePa]

That sounds about right.

Converters are just under 800 + 200-250 for install

Cam and DoD replacement kits are 1299ish + 1500-1750ish install

[-Ray-]

Track opens on Tuesday. Except it looks like it's going to snow. So, if the temps are under 50 degrees, no racing. Some of the GTO's hang out somewhere before the track opens. I may just hang out.

Did this wind up in the wrong thread?

No, I was just off topic. I was going to run my car without the converter on Tuesday, then install it and run next week. It looks like snow is forecast.

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x299/Steve-G67/036.jpg

Yessss.....

I like that.

I was also thinking Canary Yellow (or something like it) or Satin Black (Murdered).

[drglock]

So far my plans are:

Smoked overlays on headlights, smoked tails. Paint rims. VMS tune when they come to Schaumberg. Paint Chrome door trim to match body. Paint Kidney grille chrome trim to match body. MGP caliper covers. BMR Strut tower brace. Sharkfin Antannae. GRRRR8 Lower panel mod. :)

[incon3037r]

Rims- DONE
Lowered- DONE
Tint Windows
GXP steering wheel
GXP rear diffuser
red/onyx shift knob
Install new emblems
Paint all chrome black
tinted tail lights
Kenne Bell- Currently being test fitted
Spintech Catback
Long Tubes
DoD Delete w/ Cam and Custom headwork
Reinforce suspension parts
Upgrade driveshafts/axles
thats all I can think of now!!

[deputycrawford]

The commodore SSV bumper cover and hood. Then a CAI and Converter with a VMS tune. Then lower around 2 inches. That should do me for this year. I still have to get a set of aluminum 2.14 valve heads for the Charger.

[Darkside]

Performance- Lt's and full exhaust (not positive on brand yet), H/C setup through Vector or Livernois, Vararam, and tune. I'd like to do a stall and possibly gears, but sit back a little while to see whats working for others.

Appearance- tint, wheels (leaning towards GTS), Gts fenders. Gts front end if money allows.

My quote back in December

Stainless Works LT's, offroad x-pipe, and axleback - Check
Currently at Vector for Stage II and 3200 Yank - Check
Vararam - Check
HSV GTS wheels - Check
Tint, Smoked taillights, Dvd player, Aeroforce gauges - Check

The Gts fenders will probably be in the next couple of months. The Gts front end might not be worth the money to me anymore. Drag radials or slicks jumped up the list big time.

[1bad03snake]

I bought my car 3 weeks ago and I have everything on my sig getting installed this week. Who needs a stinking warranty. I voided my gt500's warranty at 1100 miles

[gearhead455]

New Era tune, CAI, splash guards.:)

[G8GT594]

You really want to know?

I thought about it all day today. I was seriously considering selling this car and ordering a Camaro 2SS with the RS package. But i decided that it would just be stupid. I have all this money wrapped up in the car as it is and i would just be taking a huge hit.

So i came up with an executive decision tonight on my drive home from detroit. Instead of 3.27 and porting the heads which i originally planned on doing after hitting 11s i said fuck it, im going to supercharge and that will be the last mod i do to the car. I know the trans won't hold for long without TQM.

So my plan to fix that... 2 tunes written. One for the track and one for street driving.

Even at the track it will still have TQM on just reduced. On the street full TQM and and prolly have the ECM set to pull timing.

[steve b.]

:woohoo:intake exhaust and a tune and tinted windows when i get the extra money steve b.

[netmand]

Just got the car, but already have my Laundry List!
- window tint
- protection film
- VMS tune w/PowerFlash
- Corsa Exhaust
- re-tune
- CAI
- re-tune
- hitch
- nitrous
- re-tune

That should make a nice ~$3,000 dent in my budget.

[Chocolate]

More Pedders stuff, Supercharger, Kooks complete system, and a FilterMag for my oil and tranny.

[GXP-Chad]

Ok here we go:

RotoFab intake
HSRK
Kooks 1 7/8 Header, x-pipe, keep stock muffleres to quite her down a little
Livernois Tune

That will probaly wipeout the available cash I have for 2009!!!

[09PBMGT]

I'm going to get the the floor mats vaccumed!

[09PBMGT]

J/K....... Cam... Non-dod and I'm done. Maybe a front loading missle launcher, but that's for the apocalypse

[steve b.]

as much as i can afford

[09-G8-GT]

cat back exhaust and a vararam....maybe a tune.

[Seattle09GT]

Well I'm tardy to this party but here goes, nothing too crazy here:

1) SuperChips Cortex ECM Tune
2) Adding the Atari Gauges with the screen update (makes it go faster)
3) 35% Window Tint (makes it go faster)
4) CAI, haven't decided if I'm going CAI or OTR, leaning toward Vararam with everthing I've read
5) Custom H-pipe and resonators deleted
6) Vauxhall or Holden center caps for the wheels (makes it go faster)
7) By the fall get a set of 18" rims so I can put on some "winter" tires for the cold months, and a pair of drag radials for the summer
8) Wrap the parking brake handle with leather (makes it go faster)
9) Auto dimming rear view mirror (makes it go faster)

.... This is SEATTLE lol... if it snows an inch you stay home anyway!! I'm torn I'll either try running the summers all year or go to a really good set of ultra performance all seasons

.... This is SEATTLE lol... if it snows an inch you stay home anyway!! I'm torn I'll either try running the summers all year or go to a really good set of ultra performance all seasons

It's the New Englander in me, I fear no snow flake, just the other drivers.

I read a review in Canada of the G8, guy drove the car with the All Seasons in "5 centimeters of snow" and basically said the car was AWFUL in the white stuff.

Thankfully we don't get too much of it here. But if we ever have a December like the one we had in 2008, I'll starve to death in my own house!

[ChicagoG8GT]

Just a intake since I already have my SChips.

[dukeofpg]

I just had surgery on my hand. But in the next few weeks I will be installing SLP long tube headers, a tvs1900 Maggie, Pedders upgrades and Brembo brakes. I just need to find a local tuner in Utah to finish things up

[Copperhead]

Getting Corsa Exhaust this week then eventually a VMS tune w/Vararam then I'm done. Totally done.

Though I'll need All Seasons for the winter...

Gotta do it slow enough so the wife doesn't catch on.

[Ben2009GT]

Want to add CAI, Axle Back Magnaflows, Tune, STB, in the next 60 day.

[ULTRA Z]

CAI LT headers and a catted X pipe and tune for 09 i wanta start 2010 off early with the head work cam DOD delete

[Black_Ice]

One thing is all i am getting

Magnacharger ....

[Devilish34]

If I can swing it with out the wife knowing dod delete cam and heads or a maggie.

[nathanf2009]

Not wanting to do anything too intrusive as of right now. probably


CAI
Tune

[WickedMom]

Tomorrow. My 2nd real mod arrives!!!!

NEP CAI! Yay!!! I'm excited!

I will be doing the non dod cam, and a pulley in November..to go with the mods I already have done earlier this year..that will be it for the next year got to build the back accounts back up.

[Panzer Leader]

Suspension about complete. New tires in about 10k (Will be asking for input on thise), new center speaker, GAUGES, CAI (Probably Roto-Fab), new and better brake pads and rotors, radiator cover (If there is ever one made that fits with the CAI for the V6) any new and improved suspension parts that come around. Possible rebadge. Also Photon Torpedoes and Warp drive (Can we say a Turbo or Supercharger for the V6?)

I think i'm going to look for axle back exhausts. I'm really leaning towards powerflo cause I love those tips. Maggie for 2010 hopefully.

me and dad put on my Vararam Intake, went pretty well, had some eff ups, but all in all it was pretty easy. Next weekend putting headers on and getting tuned :woohoo:

I'm just about done. Have all the parts. My clear bra is getting redone on Friday - I need to install my Volant CAI and have the Parrot Bluetooth CK3000 module installed in the center console.

I may do some billet goodies under the hood from Billet Prototypes. BMR has some interesting things in the pipeline, but I'm only a maybe.

I like the subtle mods on my G8 and my creation of the "third" G8 GT option package I jokingly call the "Safety and Driver Convenience Package."

The package includes:

1) Rear ultra-sonic parking assist
2) Auto-dimming rear view mirror with compass, OnStar and airbag warning indicator
3) DIC with volt, engine oil temperature, and engine oil voltage gauge
4) Full size spare with jack

'09: can be seen in my sig. Maybe left is upgrade my speakers which I have waiting to install.
'10: I'm not sure, probably some suspension related items. I'm going to go with more 'show' mods than 'go' until my warranty is up.

Damn this car is expensive! I've never spent so much on a single car in the first 8 months of ownership, EVER!

[kevinm0131]

done for '09 now.
'10 Mods?
The splash guards that Sandy Claus brought me, the Adams Americana wax I bought too late in '09, catch can and in the interest of improving to a 12 second car, I am currently under going a weight reduction! Placing far less in the induction system (aka piehole)! Is there a calculator for that? :-)

I still need to install the Bluetooth, but now that White's Audio & Media has a work around, I'm trying to hold out and find a compatible OnStar module to install to do it right.

Only other plan is the installation of foot well lights and to install the glove box lights. I have the parts, just need to get it done!

No more mods for me after that, at least until someone else comes along with a new way to squeeze money out of me.
