what did you do to your Sonic today?

[efaily]

Nothing, way too cold here in the Chicago area for several days! When it gets warm enough I need to install the Dorman intake manifold on my daughters' Sonic, as preventative maintenance (no PCV issues yet). The Racer X metal coolant neck on both Sonics. The ZZP big brake kit, Mambatek billet wastegate actuator & Forge bypass valve on my Son's Sonic.

Today I’m going to do some data logging. I installed an atmospheric bov and a BNR tune (which is amazingly different than stock)

 

[WingedDozer]

I bought and then had the time of my life ripping around town. Been too long since I've been able to put it in H-I

 

[LilRedLtz]

Gave Sonic a place to relax!

Man ...2012 first post. I've been on here since 2013 off and on although many have gone the used era is here new I paid 22k for my RS now you can get it for 6k it's a used trend now .

I hear you. I bought my 2013 brand new for $20k. It has been very reliable for me but no way would I ever consider buying a used one.

I installed my Kicker Hideaway powered subwoofer. Now it matches the one on the other side.

Decided to change my head gasket

I scratched my Sonic… lmao !! In fact, Freddy Kruger did it !

Lower coolant hose split. and engine overheated. new hose, did lower temp thermostat mod, 15 PSI cap. filled with lots of distilled water and some "all vehicle" coolant. System pressure tested ok, hydrocarbon test for head gasket leaks was fine. bled system and took it for drive with my scan tablet showing live data on coolant temp. got on freeway - 9 pm, no traffic at all- stomped on it and got up to 88 to do a stress test. glanced to the shoulder and spotted CHP hiding in bushes. He pulls me over and asks if I have any idea how fast I was going. I said (because the digits are right there on our cars) "yes sir, 88", he says "what are you, Marty McFly?" I say, "if I were, I would go back in time 3 minutes and slow down".

.... And Sonic Elm St will never be the same.... LOL

I had a full tune-up done and the car drives like a dream. I still haven't gotten the 40 mpgs GM touted back in 2013. Hummm something fishy is going on here.

How do you like the tune? Does it give you more power?

 

[sklippi]

Changed out the cabin air filter. This thing was filthy! I bought in Nov '22 and one can bet it was NEVER changed.

 

[efaily]

I took my son's RS to get new 215/50R17 Toyo Extensa HP II tires mounted & balanced. Then I spent a couple of hours installing his LED underglow lights on it...

 

[macdiesel]

Pulled a seized alternator off a 1.4.

Yes

 

[Wydz]

Spent $1,356 to replace rear shocks, front struts and sway links, and had to replace the coolant valve for the thermostat housing lol

 

[Dingleberry69]

I drove it, and then checked the oil. Was right where I left it
