I must have the shortest list here...04 Comp G with 65k miles.

-HUD cover cracked
-Monsoon 6 disc broke almost a year ago (really tired of just AM/FM)

And that's it...been pampered since we bought it for my wife in December 06. It doesn't even have any surface rust. We've fixed a fair number of things over time, but I've always stayed after it because I'm a picky bastard...

Blew my engine in by 01 GTP the same day I was putting it in storage so now I have a five cylinder block lol.Good news is I found a donor car a 01 GTP with 200k km or 124k miles on it for four hundred bucks so now I will have to get my car put back together this winter.Then I can sell what ever I don't need and get my money back good deal all around lol.Will do some mods too as I will have the car all apart.

[DirtDog]

^^^^wow

[ntreftz]

oh and the battery is crap sometimes

[DirtDog]

I actually have a spare battery that is good. Only a year and a half old. I thought it was bad and got new one. But it wasn't

[ntreftz]

yeah I need a poor bastard to buy my car for $2500 lolz and gets my monies back

[DirtDog]

Lol...put her up for sale again

[ntreftz]

ohhh... 1998 gxp lets do a v8 swap dirt I need your motor lolz

[DirtDog]

No.......unless u buy a 5.3 and I'll help put it in

[ntreftz]

im going to look into it. who's done it?

[DirtDog]

No one I know of. Seen it done in a couple other cars but I don't think it'd be hard since it uses same sub frame as v6. Ud need motor/trans and motor mounts. And probably then some other small things

[ntreftz]

lets do it, im going to start saving... BRILLIANT! I need a Write up, FVCK it im going to make one

[DirtDog]

Wow...not sure what kinda expenses you would see with it. Us also need a tune (I have hpt) and harness and probably lots of wiring is think.

[ntreftz]

moved to my other thread the "Welp" one

[Frosty]

-Ever since doing the ssm90 kit from zzp I have MASSIVE issues with fuel trims during warmup and long idle. (No it is not due to the position of the injectors) It is probably because of the ****ty fuel lab regulator.... Haven't decided on how I want to replace that one yet.

-Engine starts then immediately dies on warm starts after putting the northstar on. (Its not the iac I checked). Probably a misadjusted throttle plate but I am too lazy to mess with it.

-Noticible tick from the engine after I shattered my stock harmonic balancer and then replaced it with a 8 rib one. It still runs like a top and squishes turbo rice rockets so im happy.

-Havent had the key safety solenoid for the last 50k miles. Got tired of having a stuck key so I ripped it out and never looked back.

-Ever since flashing a gtp bin, if I program in my correct gear ratio the thing SLAMS INTO GEAR VIOLENTLY like im talking chirps the tires from a standstill with no throttle. On wot pulls when shifting into 2nd it will pull all timing for the 2nd gear shift and then wont give it back until I let off. If I lie and say the gear ratio is slightly taller then it really is the transmission shifts smooth as butter and has no issues whatsoever. Not sure whats going on there because everything else is right. Even the speedo is correct. *shrugs*

-If I tune my traction control to be safe for the engine it does no good. If I tune it to be useful I risk blowing it up.

-I pinched a wire going to my fuel pump rewire. Have been running my race pump off the stock harness for a week now and I have only blown the fuse 3 times.

-My hid retrofits currently like to shut off while driving. I think the relay is ****ting the bed

-My taillights collect water for me

-There has been a weird front end clunk for the last 20k. Has new control arms, tie rods, ball joints, and rack. Even a shop couldn't figure it out. Oh well it drive in a straight line even at WOT

But on the bright side I have a absolutely goofy powerful fwd instatorque monster that I trust to drive accross the country and back. 170k and counting.

[rockquarryman]

no fuel gauge, no clock in the radio, and in desperate need of a keyless entry key fob on the CHEAP!!!!

[theaceofspades]

I have a random clunk almost sounds like popcorn. During acceleration and turns toward the left

[ntreftz]

I'm still winning LOLZ

[rockquarryman]

I have a random clunk almost sounds like popcorn. During acceleration and turns toward the left

sounds like the problem I had last year turns out it was my brake pads , rotors, and a hub bearing all bad
