I haven't driven my car in over a year because something is always broke.

Gover we have the same car exept yours has the Ram Air...

Whats the Paint code?? That seems to be a good color on F-Body..

Both of my Trans Am's where that color... Sure does show dust good though

Didn't you have the ram air hood on yours? I thought I saw it last year or the year before at the M event at Stanton (at least Timberwolf said it was your car).

According to my options sticker that came with the car the paint code is 48U.

Hold on, now: why the glum messages?

Killerjello, Aren't you a single guy? What's the excuse for not having yours running in top condition? Back when I was just a poor single guy in the Air force, then later in college, I found time to wax the car & do a full detail job each week. I washed it EVERY day at 5 AM when living in cocoa beach, FL.

Grover, Whazzup with the car?

TS: you are breaking my heart! I sold my bike 'cause I couldnt manage but FIFTY miles last summer. Something about having three little kids under the age of eight, of which the oldest one is a special-needs child... THAT'LL show you what it feels like to have no time!

However I concede that that's one suhweeet bike. It's not broke, I hope?? Personally, I want a Yamaha FJR1300 some day with full touring accessories some day.

nope run's like a champ... Everybody on this board would hate me if I Told you what I paid for it.. Put It this way people will do some stupid things to get out of dept

low miles, Two helmets, a matching coat and extremly well taken care of... It actually should of been drove more its been sitting under a bed sheet for the last 3 years...

here's a couple more

Hey bob,

Didnt know you got a bike. I sold mine for $3300. I should of held onto it and went ridding with ya.

I listed it on ebay but I ended the auction early because I had a good offer on it. I only paid $1800 for the bike.

Its the same purple f2 that you saw before but I had it all redone

That is why I am selling my camaro, and never buying another POS f-body again.


Hmm, never had a problem with my 91 except for an bad alternator and my car has over 131,000 miles on it. Maybe its the owner. ;)

Yeah Ive had it about 3 week's No Insurance on it yet.. But been Running it up and down my street...

Id be Driving the T/A right now If I could figure out why it keeps fouling spark plugs out...

Let me know if you need a hand with the Ls1 conversion

Well I have the motor out and the heads off right now. Im still waiting for some of my conversion parts. Im not going to put the motor back in till winter when the heads and cam are all in.

Im really am looking forward to having the car done by spring. Im running a single exhaust out the back. It will be the best sleeper in town.

:bow:

Well Dan, last year after I waited a month to get a driveshaft after shattering mine at the dragstrip I ran into transmission problems. I waited a month getting the clutch and transmission rebuilt, then when I put it all back together I had a loud rattle. Wasn't sure what it was, found out this spring that it's not engine related. Haven't had the time to work on the car. I will be putting it back together and if it still rattles it's going to go to D&D performance to let them fix it. Then it's officially going up for sale.

Next summer I plan on stepping up into a C5 convertible.

Don't feel sorry for him Dan. Chad is a DINK (dual income, no kids) and still can't find time to work on his car...

We should send our kids over there for a month and see how much time he has... :lol:

I never said I didn't have the money, just didn't have the time. :p

I'm working two jobs just like you pup, do all the cooking and help around the house. Gotta keep the wife happy, that's why she's in on the idea of getting a Corvette.

Chad, the rattle is probably the syncros on your clutch. Put that bitch on the ground and drive it. Hell let me get under it, I'll find the rattle. I did it last night on Q's car. Did it last week too. :D

You never ask for our help, The Grand Rapids guys know I'm there as soon as I can put some pants and a shirt on and get in the car.

The last time I asked for help pulling the tranny the only person to show up was Pete. Then I asked for someone to come over and listen to the car last July and the only person to show up was Mike.

Are rattling synchros bad? I wouldn't think I would have anything rattling in the tranny after spending $1500 to have the thing rebuilt.

Oh, BTW this is on the McLeod Street Twin. There aren't any synchros in this clutch.

Brad - RedIroc I wish you lived in midland man... I cant seem to firgure out this stinking problem ... loads the spark plugs up after like 5 miles of driving then starts a back fire..

I was getting a injector circuts code and the o2's werent swinging... ITs not the o2's Ive got 2 new sets''' something is setting it off and not letting it go into open loop

How big is the cam? What size injectors? Is the program adjusted for different injectors?

230/236 on 112

stock injectors.... had a tune never got around to adjusting the spark

last year my oil smelled like gas cam to the conclusing its a stuck injector... never pinpointed it... you think thats that problem? and whats making the o2's fatten it?

$100 says its the opti. Mine did the exact same thing. When it was cool just starting up it would run fine. After about 5-8 minutes once the temperature gage moved it would start to back fire.

Even though you might of gotten a new one or a used one lately. I would still give another a try. They are only $185 bucks.


And remember....on an Lt1 its almost always the OPTI.


If you need some help, let me know.

Hey, those are my cam specs! What's your intake lobbe centerline set at? I'm doing 108 degrees for my Minirammed 385.

Are you using the Comp Cams Xtreme Energy hydraulic roller lobe profiles?

--drb

Hey Joe... I never really considered the OPTI but... When I first put the car back together I never lined up the spline and just pulled it on with a ratchet... To later find out I did it wrong I keyed it up and it started right up... Im pretty sure Its the original opti.. so Its probley time for a new one anyway...

Bob, I really think its it. Those things go out if you just look at them wrong..lol

plus when you pulled off your water pump to do the cam swap, small amounts of water come out of the pump/block and drip on that little bitch.

I say get one then come give me a ride it that thing

hey, at least your car is in running condition!! i'm too broke to buy a gasket set! got lots of parts though! well, except for the gaskets, rr, pushrods, and stuff i sold you! l lol. got a 300hp nitrous kit, bored block, forged pistons, new cam, headers, ect. to add, just need more money for the water pump, syncros, racing clutch ect.

i haven't driven mine since december! boy, it's gonna be hard not to sleep in that thing once she's back on the road! man i can't wait!
