Rob95CS Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Wow, your car sounds nice! I'm impressed. I really miss my DOHC Lumina. What's that jingling sound in the background you hear after you get to about 65 mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

god910 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah, what's up w/ the chick in the towel, probably the best part of that video. EDIT: not a towel, paused it, and unless she has a big ass tat. on her chest it's a really tight T-shirt. Looks like skin though. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 its not a towel, it was a VERY tight shirt and she has a very fat ass..lol Filmed on location at a afterprom party...she very very nice ;-) The light that goes off is my CHECK GAUGES light...anyone know why?? The car has bad shuttering at idle, yet the idle stays at 1K rpms.... the shudder is bad enough to rattle the dash, radio and the whole interior Motor mounts are new as well as tranny mounts and the FFP dogbone too... Wat could the shutter be? It seems like a rythmic think...like "brrr....brrr....brr....brrr..." Takes a bit longer to start the car too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Shuttering at idle could be a bad EGR valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox340 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 The light that goes off is my CHECK GAUGES light...anyone know why?? I watched the video and few times and it always goes off when you release the gas. And goes on with full throttle... since I can't seen all of your gauges, I'm gonna guess on this. I'm willing to bet your Oil Pressure Sending (OPS) unit is faulty or you have a fading oil pump. Are any of you dials spiking from either max or min values? - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 1st redline-35mph 2nd redline-60mph 3rd redline-95mph 4th redline-130mph(about, speedo doesnt go up that high) 5th redline-rumored to be 168 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 dude, im glad to see the car running right, sounds healthy. my 3.1 would kill ya 0-40...but lol that 3.4 has so much more power after 3500rpms. okey after I get my 3.4 in and tweaked, we'll see what i can do bout keepin up =) -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Redfox, the oil pressure gauge remanined constant thru the run... I noticed somethine else on after running it like 10 min ago Everytime i accelerate, i get a nasty clunking sound at the beginning...this only sounds from like 0-20 when i accelerate quicly... the sound can best be described as this: like in movies of old beat up cars that have a crank sounding when they turn off..."Caklunk...caklunk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 just notice something too: i have an air/fuel gauge and the rythmic vibrations of the car are adjacent to the meter going from lean to rich...lean to rich...lean to rich.... AH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 my 3.1 would kill ya 0-40...but lol that 3.4 has so much more power after 3500rpms. only if yours is a 5-speed. i can eat the autos, even off the line. the 5-speed 3.4 aint that bad off the line(with good timing of course). i raced a 3.1 5-speed beretta, and he put my front bumper to his rear off the line, we were side by side when i redlined 1st, and after 2nd, he was a few(3-4) car lenghs back.

4spdz34 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 aaron something was wrong with the lowend on your car, hopefully your new motor has more. that would be the day a 3.1 beats my 3.4 outta the hole. i have a auto too, i don't care if its a auto or a stick they don't beat me at anypoint in the race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 i tell you what with my rebuild this thing has some low end, it is so nice feeling to pass a guy in 5th going 50. b4 id have to go into 4th for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 if it is a halfway decent track, i am aiming for a 14.5. i also hope to borrow some slicks or better wheels/tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 just notice something too: i have an air/fuel gauge and the rythmic vibrations of the car are adjacent to the meter going from lean to rich...lean to rich...lean to rich.... But that can't contribute to the Check Gauges light. Hmmm... You'll have to better isolate the issue... I can't think of anything of the top of my head. Remember, it could be just a soder loosening but if anything like what I saw on the video, something's just not right. As for the cluck, could be as easy as a worn motor mount or the downpipe hitting the firewall. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Redfox, i made a gasket for my EGR...im broke plus Autozone nor any of the parts store have a Gasket readily avaible..that and they want some stupid shipping charge (autozone at least). The car now idles a bit better though there are still some vibrations felt. One thing that really freaks me out now is white smoke is coming from the exhaust. Smells funky too. Its kinda cold here so it might me the smoke condensating i know, but the thing that struck me was that the smoke was opaque in some areas. ???
