What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

My Corsa is on the FedEx truck for delivery! 

Think just backing the SHO up the ramps will allow an easy install on my back?  I'd like to not have to use jack stands.  Hoping the SHO can backup on the ramps and have enough clearance.  Or will the front drag?
If the front end drags, just roll the front tires on a few 2x4's as youre backing up the ramp. Youll b fine.
 
Well thanks to Mike's help I have ordered the X4 tuner, 3 bar map sensor & 170 degree t-stat. ...  Now to keep me busy while I wait for parts lol

Finally got around to installing the new DP's and plugs.  I'm at 20K miles and most of the plugs were .035-.037 but one (rear drivers side) was .039.  Dunno if it was the stock cats (I modded my DP's to 2.5 mandrel 6 months ago) or the original plugs holding me back but there is More.  Power.  Everywhere.  I'm happy ;D Now to deal with that drone like Wasinger3000 did...

Edit, tried to post a pic of new set up, file size too large >:(

I got it from Wallmart and after watching a few youtube vids it was super easy just be sure to mask from the fine mist over spray, all the over spray should be thick so you can easily peel if u get the fine mist over spray you need to rub it off and its not as easy to remove   
 
Had to take my car in to the dealer the other day.  Randomly had my battery crap out on me. Worked fine one day, tried starting it the next morning, took three tries and barely got it going at that.  Thought I had ran it down from the night before or something. Then nearly got stranded at work since too and it took another three tries there.  It was after 5:30 by the time I got into the QuickLane at the dealership and they said all they could do is test the battery.  They had to throw the charger on it to get it started and out of the bay.  Luckily if failed their test and was replaced under warranty that night.  :thumb:

I'm also in the process of plastidiping all my chrome just like jkeblaitis.  Just have the front grill surround, fender emblems, and rear emblems done at the moment.  Ran out of time to do it all in one shot.  Might have to redo some of it though as I think I went a little thin on the coats.
 
On the short end of the battery life, IA.  Hopefully the new one (which one was installed?) will last you a bit longer.  And please post pics when done with the PD :D
 
Finally joined the BOV VTA club today. After seeing how easy it was don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

Curious though, does anyone undo theirs when going in for service?

If it has anything to do with the engine as to why you take it in for service then yes you should put it back.

I leave mine ... they've not said anything.
 
Cleaned it!

Oh, wait no I didn't! I don't have time. > :(

Might as well start watering the floor mats to see if I can get any of the tracked-in lawn clippings to grow.
