Holgorsen is indeed gifted. Don't sweat the D, it's the Big12. (like I can talk about no D) Geno will win the Heisman. How do you make the list get smaller? For every one thing that I finish, at least two are added.

In what.. modifications/upgrades, repairs or both? I'd probably have no idea anyways and it is worth it to have a one of kind Aurora that looks and runs well. ;D Replaced intake manifold carrier gaskets, throttle body to spacer gasket, spacer to manifold gasket and throttle body coolant hose. Cleaned the entire throttle body thoroughly while removed as well. Finalized Amber DRL on turn signal bulb prototype

Wow Sall I really admire your Aurora, all your hard work shows. Can you tell a noticeable difference in the sound/response of the engine with the clean TB? Was it that dirty to begin with? I went to clean my MAF screen and plate but it was shiny like new "whew". One more question, what do you mean "Finalized Amber DRL on turn signal bulb prototype" ? Pics?

I went to clean my MAF screen and plate but it was shiny like new "whew". One more question, what do you mean "Finalized Amber DRL on turn signal bulb prototype" ? Pics? Thank you. I appreciate that. The throttle body was not that dirty but I had cleaned it a few thousand miles ago. At that time I did not remove the throttle body to get everything to get everything behind the throttle plate but managed to get a majority of it. Throttle response was defintely better after the first time cleaning as it was filthy. As for the Amber DRL. From factory the Classic Aurora DRL is on the low beam bulb. Many do not like this as they switch to HID or decreasing life of $50+ bulb pairs. On my vehicle I relocated the DRL to high beam projector(bulb). I had since had a couple of members come to me about relocating the DRL to the amber turn signal bulb. Very much the same as some other GM vehicles, trans am for one. Should be a really nice touch. It was a bit more in-depth figuring out how to keep the DRL off and stay off during the course of the signalling and have the DRL come back on afterwards. All while keeping a relatively small footprint for the 'module'. I do not have any pictures. Other than a breadboard video example. It would look rather different on my setup than the OEM classic setup or single projector retroed Classic.

Did you ever get the "Aurora" script for the calipers? If so, where'd you get them? As open as my wheels are, I think the GXP calipers would look really good with the A U R O R A across the face...

View AttachmentYes, you can get the caliper decals at tunerdecals.com which is the same as vinzdecals.com I believe.
