joey b Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 hold up, the Oil drive seal doesn't leak on the 96 and 97?! Quote
Heza Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Posted January 19, 2004 .....nice.....but like I said before, it is a shame that it isn't black... yeah, black is nice...but then i wouldnt have the only white with factory polished wheels that i know of. no white wheels for me! plus...white is a great color when clean and a nice polish!!

Heza Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Posted January 19, 2004 hold up, the Oil drive seal doesn't leak on the 96 and 97?! well, the guy put it this way. he said that the oil drive seal was a problem and more with the 94-95 blocks. with the GM warranty, theyd take a crapped motor out and just replace it sending the crap motor back to GM. they surveyed the problem areas. he said in '96 the problem had added attention and thats why he bought the car with the LQ1 then. he owned the dealership when he had the car basically built for him. i say built...because in '96 (maybe i posted this in the moonroof post), GM switched contracts from ASC to Westago for their OEM installs. so, he ordered the car w/out the moonroof and had the factory install an aftermarket ASC full feature moonroof for him. he said Westago roofs are crap as are their warranties. great attention to detail. so i was perusing the internet today looking for info on aftermarket moonroofs and i came across a page that talks about Wastego and ASC. i none-the-less. it states in the paragraph if you read, that many wonder about the quality of Westago. heres the link: http://www.grandprix.net/faq/ ...its the last Q/A in the "Before I Buy a Grand Prix" section Quote
