Baddflash Posted November 9, 2003 Report Posted November 9, 2003 For a couple months I've been getting the odd wiff of antifreeze but could never find it. Then one day a big puff of white smoke came up through the hood vent, I stopped to look and I could see where it got on the manifold but couldn't tell where it came from. Anyway I was going to replace all the gaskets but when I went to do it I could find no trace of a leak, I checked everything revving the engine etc.. There is no A-F in the oil or vice-versa, nothing in the exhaust and the car runs fine. So I opted not to rip appart a prefectly fine running engine. Now like 3 weeks latter it comes back and it appeared that it was coming up through the lower front head bolt right near the x-over pipe, so I'm thinking just the head gasket Upon closer examination :shock: The bloody heads cracked at the bottom of the 1/4in recess that bolt sits in. I don't get why it would do that The heads have never been touched, it's never overheated, the coolant is good for like -40 so it didn't freeze, I take really good care of it, and I don't horribly abuse it I'm not going to bother fixing the engine, cause I plan on pulling it for the 3.8 anyway and it runs fine so I'll still be able to drive it when I need to. Atleast now I can get going on the Z now that I won't be driving it cause... I bought another Lumina today, not intended but a v-6 GM was all I was looking for. If it wasn't silver w/wine interior it would be identical to how my other Lumi used to look. Same year, drivetrain, the miles are even within 1000Kms. Funny thing is I went to look at an older Cutlass but he showed me the lumi instead thinking thats what I was there to see. I got him down to $700 Cad, which is pretty good considering I've seen a lot worse for $2000 or more. Only a couple things wrong which are minor and I don't care this is just a beater anyway. Quote

Hey, Aaron, fuck off. He can put what he wants in his sig. And, Im sure others will help him out, regardless of something so trivial as a signature. Quote
Aaron Posted November 9, 2003 Report Posted November 9, 2003 coming from one who ones the most base model of the GP im not surprised. Quote
93GTP Posted November 9, 2003 Report Posted November 9, 2003 Aaron, stop being a jackass. Just because they arent driving the top of the line lumina or grand prix doesnt mean you have to be an ass to them. I'm all for people that make 4 door lumina's look like a Z34, after all, they're a lot more rare than a regular Z34. You have to get off your pedistal, you know, you are still only driving a Lumina, not a ferrari. Quote
Aaron Posted November 9, 2003 Report Posted November 9, 2003 i think they look cool and it is a good idea. but that doesnt change the fact that they shouldnt call it a Z34 Quote
Aaron Posted November 9, 2003 Report Posted November 9, 2003 i give them props for doing it, it takes a lot of $$$, work, and dedication. the Z34 effects look cool and are a great addition. but i dont think they should call the car a Z34. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 9, 2003 Report Posted November 9, 2003 Just like you have a car and are a guy, BUT you'll never be me, Aaron... Quote
Robby1870 Posted November 9, 2003 Report Posted November 9, 2003 coming from one who ones the most base model of the GP im not surprised. Oh, stop, you're so mean, you pointed out that I have a base model GP. I think Im gonna go cry now. Someone else noticed I have an LE........please god, make 'em stop..................please!! Quote
5speedz34 Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Who cares what the hell everyone owns? Aaron u have no room to talk, you blew your motor! But seriously we need to all chill and rip on some ford ppl! Quote
Aaron Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 and its fixed, and over. so what? motors blow, it happens. everyday people blow a motor. hell tony you have no room to talk, your car is more fucked up than michael jackson Quote
sl3196 Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 He may say his car is a Z34 but at least he doesn't make shit up about his car being faster than Vipers and vettes. Get some videos or something aaron until then I won't believe anything you say. Quote
topless94style Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I agree with aaron on one point, the person should not say " I own a Lumina Z34" or anything to that extent. Because it is not a Z34. But, if they turned it into a 4door Z or an LE into a GTP awesome job. That takes alot of work and money and if you can or have done it thats pretty sweet. Quote
Aaron Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 the times i said i can beat a vette and viper i think i just may have had the SLIGHTEST hint of sarcasm Quote
90lum31v6euro Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 so is anyone gonna help this guy, or are u all gonna keep shit talking on everyone else??? Quote
Baddflash Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Posted November 10, 2003 Did I call it just a Z34??? No I'm calling it a "4DR Z34" just cause it gets the point across and it makes it easier for me cause I own 2 90' 4DR Luminas now. Does it look like I'm hiding the fact it's a 4DR with 3.1L? Aaron I don't give a fuck what you think and I don't need you're help. You don't like my sig don't look at, cause I'm not changing it especially for dick like you!! Gee I'm so great I own a Z34 just like a million other assholes. How many people have a car like mine, a hundred maybe?? I think it's retarded that some stupid little thing like that can totally take over a post. You guys need to grow up cause it's not that big a deal. How about I call it a Z31 or Z54 will that shut everyone the fuck up? Then everyone will be like "what's a Z31?" I'm going to have to say"it's like a 4DR Z34" Gee thanks for the help guys I don't know what I'd do without you. P.S. Who said my cars not done???? Oh just cause I don't own a digi cam and haven't posted new pics yet, I see. Quote

phantomFE3 Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Gee I'm so great I own a Z34 just like a million other assholes. How many people have a car like mine, a hundred maybe?? booyah, only 200 people in the world own a car like mine 8) and i know that for a fact. one of the rarest w-bodies made (excluding GM concept models, and other models that may be rarer than mine) Who cares what the hell everyone owns? Aaron u have no room to talk, you blew your motor! But seriously we need to all chill and rip on some ford ppl! RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 ford sucks and who cares if its not a real z34?!?!?!?!?!1/? look at all the ricers buzzing around with GTR badges on them, so what? who cares? blablabla??!? nothing else to say Quote
SmokesGTP Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Aaron I agree but you don't have to be such a fuckin dick about it. Quote
runt Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 DO NOT CALL YOUR CAR A Z34 IN YOUR SIG. that needs to be removed, your car is not a Z34. it looks ok, being 1/2 way done, but jay's, AWESOME, still cant be called a Z. please remove that-then i will help you. We are here to help each other. This really isn't the place to go and flame on people. If he wants to call his Lum. a Z, LET HIM. If he put the time and the $$$ into, great! If it's everything that a Z has to offer besides the fact that it has 2 more doors, well la-de-FUCKING-da. I would be proud to call my 4 door a Z if I put that much time into it. Now, I don't know anything about his problem listed above, but I'm sure that someone here does, so how about we drop all of this god awful flamming that's been going on and HELP EACH OTHER OUT. Quote
PaPaPooh Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 OMG :shock: about him calling his car a Z!! sorry i can't help but fuck some people good luck oh i have access to all data if you need anything just hit me up via pm or e-mail (i think its listed below?) Quote
no1kicker Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Call it a Z34. If there was a 4 door made, it would have been so cool. Like a Taurus SHO. And somebody's dad would have had it and when that person got his license would have had a blast. Quote
sonyman87 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Posted November 11, 2003 Aaron grow the fuck up you sound like a 2 yearold wanting a sucker. If you can help him do so, thats why you are here in the first place is it not? If your not here to help people with their problems then get the fuck out and let someone else step up to the plate and maybe we will get somewhere. Im sure the author of this post is happy with the help you have gave him so far. this is complete B.S. Just tell the man what he wants to know or im going to change my sig. you remember the qt mile times that were links.. yeah they will appear again! Would you have a shit-fit if i called my car a z34 also! wouldnt that burn your bubble. Later Nathan Quote
