Dan thanks for the production info. I had forgotten you have a lot of this.
Replaced the passenger side CV axle and wheel bearing in the Mera. It was just starting to make noise. It's so quiet now I am going to do the other side next weekend. Might as well while I can still get good parts.

Regards Barry.

So you are the one's that stole our normal weather.  We have had just about all the odd weather possible this year. Yesterday it was a "brown out" blowing dust, not good for the allergies....AhhhCHOO!. This morning we had light drizzle, followed by clouds, sun, clouds, sun, sleet, rain, sun, low clouds, breezes, sun , clouds, etc..... By this weekend, we are back in the 80's. Wayne, you haven't lived till you've had a "PopSnakele"

I'm afraid I am with Dan on this one, I love having the Mera out so soon, but the 80s?
That's to hot-too soon, all this kind of weather brings us is Badass Storms, rain we could use, but the rest, forget it.
Have any of our members been hit by any of these tornado's?

Here in El Paso we don't have to worry about tornado's, earthquakes, floods etc. However, when we do get the dust storms the winds can be pretty high. The other day 67 mph wind speeds were registered here. I'll still take that over any toronado.........

You guys are such wimps. For us that's kite flying weather. All you need is some heavy duty string, a kevlar kite, and plenty of rocks in you pockets to hold you down! [This message has been edited by Rick 88 (edited 03-20-2012).]

I think the intake would look great powdercoated red on my 3.4. It will have to make a very noticeable difference in performance for me to spend that much on it. I wonder if it will work properly with the stock ECM?

Someone must have installed the power steering after the fact. None were actually released to the public. Pontiac was having noise issues with the system and felt it was not ready for prime time. Very nice car. The Ferrari red does not look much different from the DuPont factory red. Wonder if wifey would notice if two were in the driveway?
