Yep, pretty sure thats why I had got pulled over the other week too. I was watching the cutoff on his car. I either have to tailgate or hang reeeealllly far back. One guy in a grand am i usually follow in the mornings into town I dont think cares because his lights are so bad.

It just has to do with the dips in the roads they are really uneven so the front of the car is going up and down a bunch. Otherwise I have them aimed pretty low right now. Hard for me to find any place suitable for actually aiming at a wall so i usually drive on them pull over and adjust as needed.

Sometimes mine seem too high, sometimes they seem too low. Others they seem crooked, and sometimes straight. I'm not touching it unless I find a perfect place to aim it lol
And yeah the roads here suck, its impossible to not catch mirrors constantly unless I aim them 10 ft at the ground

Nice James...nice

My cars been being weird, randomly the last 2 days on cold starts once I get about a mile down the road going like 25-35 my trans (i think its the trans) will whine for like 15-30 seconds then stop and not do it again till the next day. Fluid Level is good, might have to do a pan drop soonish. Also started my DIY experiment,


My mom FINIALLY got her chugging figured out, missfire on a 5 and 6. Which means she probably needs new plugs and wires considering they have probably 177k on stockers lmao. So thats gonna be like 60 bucks for some delco plugs and the cheapo wires from advanced auto.

What did u fill that with?

Yep and I'm giving it all weekend to dry too,

started putting together the chump motor

Loving the purple 70's tint on your ride Scott

Dumped a couple quarts of old blinker fluid and noticed blinker fluid leak on floor also. In the GT. Time to make drain holes in a couple areas. We've had flooding lately so thats par for the course.

I've been doing 5.5k revs at jaywalkers or people riding bikes in the streets lately, tired of using the horn for that. These 3800s rev so fast I go from 1k to 5.5k in like half a second, hardly any time to hear much lol. I've never seen a faster revving engine. It might not be that powerful but it sure is responsive.

Funny cause I was just noticing that for the first time yesterday. Revs real quick and doesn't hang. I like that. Makes me wanna up the p/n rev limiter.

Gm did it right with the 3800 apparently. Another reason I love the gp platform. Well once you get past all the small issues that are easy and cheap to fix anyway. I'm at that point already so life is good lol. Not counting the trans but it's doing good so far lol. The transgo is what got it there. Hit the gas and it downshifts before I even hear the engine rev up very far.

Fords are the worst for responsiveness and hanging at rpms and hanging in gears for too long, i cant stand that.
