Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Old sc whine video of mine



Don't mind the blurriness, I took it on my old phone, while holding it myself.

confirmed some "big brake" fitment questions on a cruze for 13" dual piston brakes, just needs the pattern redrilled and a rotor only hub centric ring.

finding 17+inch 5x105 wheels would be his biggest headache

for the water pump you can loosen the lower bolt of the PS pump, remove the upper (leave it and your spare 13mm in place), push the pump downward (swing it), then slide the bolt back and it'll hold it out of the way of the wp bolt.
on some cars the PS hose dont let you push it down far enough to lock it out of the way but you can still swing it or use a buncgie cord from below to hold it away

I tried that, it wasn't going low enough. Re aligning it was cake anyway

Hey I have one of those with the lazy N/A sound of double the displacement. At least you held the phone right, lol. I need to make some new vids but every camera I own has simultaneously crapped it seems.

heard a chirp under the hood, think its the sc tensioner pulley again.


and ill play post the vid too.

Damn Scotty that Regal is on like Donkey Kong! Looks like its tough to find a play area in yer neck of the woods.

This video is actually relevant to the whine conversation, however its totally clueless because the car appears to be NA (wheres the boost go in? lol) but an early Olds swap. Its worth the half hour if you can tolerate b&w thats over half a century old. I'm hooked on the show and love the shiny cars. You-all might get a chuckle or two:

i need a new vid since new engine now. shes due for a oil change already too.

Thought I'd seen that one before, new one would be even better. bzz bzz

yup. marshal made up his mind and is going turbo, his IC is mine,,,all mine, got the whole kit off his car.

So ive been getting some KR recently at 80% throttle. anywhere from .08* to 2.2* in a couple cells. I moved up to a 3.4 pulley and got the roughly the same results. Then i found this......


So im thinking that my lower motor mount (pass side) is causing false KR.

Theres no replacement for displacement

About an hour ago this, and I turned the sound down and taped the mic but it still rattles.

She sounds purdy. I finished mine up, just need to add coolant and lower her off the jack stands. I'm paranoid so I'm waiting a few hours so the RTV can set up a bit.

I like my displacement in the 700 cubic inch range

What do you drive? An industrial diesel generator? Lol
