5speedz34 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 When I was poking around doing my harness I found a metal cover that goes between the engine and the firewall. I had to remove it to get to the c100 connector. I've never seen any other W body with one, and the guy that was helping me said his 89 Regal never had it either. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and what is it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 pics? I don't remember seeing anything like that when I tore the TGP apart.. just that insulating pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get something tommorow,but instead of an insulating pad, its a metal panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93CutlassSupreme Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I made a thread bitching about that car a few months back, and GnatGoSplat said the false firewall was an '88 only deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 there were alota strange things that only 88's got, like the raer brake lines for example, different then any other year w-body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Hmm, my first '89 CS had it, haven't really looked close enough at any of my other cars to see if they do or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Both of my '89 TGPs had the false metal firewall. I think it makes for a cleaner appearance but it sure wastes a lot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 My '90 GP had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 My 88 GP had a metal plate around the master cylinder area (took it off to run amp wire through the hole). I doubt it really has much purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I made a thread bitching about that car a few months back, and GnatGoSplat said the false firewall was an '88 only deal Well, no, not 88 only because my 89 has it. I thought it was 88-89 only since my 90 TGP doesn't have it, and neither did my step bro's 90 CS sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
