Thread: Junk I drive

Heres a lame-ism. My bud from work with the ricer here in the vid. He is begging me to go to the drag strip Saturday, said he'd give me $30 for gas since its a ways from here. He's never been but his car pulled on the GTP a little once when he got up on the cams and I was stone cold so he is excited. I checked the track's site and it looks like he has the date and time messed up anyhow. I was gonna fill up with race gas with the money then go mop the floor with reduced KR. Even had thoughts of open cone for the weekend but nah. He says he was spinning uncontrollably in this vid but ummm... clutch?

No speed limits or laws broken but maybe broke ass vtec. Enjoy.

look at the bottom of the steak it has juices at the bottom. were as plastic wont have any

Dat boy funny!

Had 5 juicy steaks that were cooked up on Tuesday and the extra became thin sliced steak to go on salad for lunches.

There is an area up here that I swear the road crew laughed as they were painting the lines and doing signage. Personally I don't see how a fork in a road can be so difficult.
I believe it's 5-6 contradicting signs and then the lines on the road simply put each lane to one side of the fork.

He loves them crooked wheels because it makes us old folks nervous lol. It s on purpose.

dont blame ya one bit.

I did say to him: Take six grand and try to build one. Also said I'd start listening at 8K. He has a 96 T/A taking too long to build and works for AAA 7 days a week so wants a done one and it caught his eye. But the neigh lady told him it was for sale and I wanted three grand.

whos this lady making up a sale and a price? i bet you two dont get along lol

I'm a spaztard when it comes to 3800 troubleshooting, so...

99 GTP, hard starting. It tries to start then stumbles before idling. Sometimes it keeps running after stumble, sometimes not. Fires up with some pedal. Does not seem to be affected by temperature. I always let the pump run a little (1 second) before cranking.

Where to start? Does the description point to any bad parts? IAC, TPS, FPR? I'm just spouting acronyms. Help?

Watch 69 GP in HD with a little better sound than that last dash cam. Not worth watching without 1080P and speakers. Yes I also posted this in the daily thread but I wanted it here too.

GTP update...

Without doing anything to it, this condition is a little better. What it does is acts like I baaaarely cranked it long enough to start. No issues once it idles but dash lights dim when its stumbling.

Cleaned the PCV. Had a look at Torque. Even while stumbling, ign voltage stays at 13.4-13.7.

For giggles I uncapped the fuel rail port and gave it a poke right after a shutdown. Just a dribble. Sigh. Put that pump in there in August last year. Its this one-

So am I doing a fuel pump warranty job today? What do you think? Change filter (again, changed twice after fuel pump replacement) or what?

I had a revelation when I was able to fix a rim leak at home too lol. I used the weight of the car to pop the bead off the rim and cleaned the corrosion off.. Discount tire couldn't fix it, they tried twice. Fail.

Would you guys believe I finally took the left inner tie rod off my ex-40th's rack? Packed some fresh grease in around the ball. Its for the GT which is running around with a bent one still. I've had a new Moog outer end forever and since my folks have the car, I think I'll have them drop it and the parts off at a good alignment place up by them. They can stick that on and give me an alignment report. It will be screwed up because if you remember about the control arm mount being smashed. Heck it drives nice as-is though. Anyway if they can replace that tie rod and approximately set toe that will make me feel better with my parents driving it around occasionally. I want them to keep it until my cypress tree drops its sticky sap for winter anyway because I can only park it close to that and it got badly sapped last year.

Oh... point of post: removed rod from rack using claw hammer, hatchet, Crescent wrench, and ChannelLocks. Should have done this a long time ago but the airbag crash and broke arm along with a crap-ton of unjustice surrounding that... has really had me mentally skewered. Its beginning to fade and keeps me awake less now.

Jury is still out on whether I have an issue on the GTP starting. It might just be me. Car seems good. Gonna ask at work to see if theres an FP gauge around.

Heres what I did. Snaps together pretty tight and even threads in a little after that. 5L Oil jug lids, Dremel tool, bye-bye ponies and hello arrowheads!

Thanks for the reply, Blue. I'll hunt for that post since I got blazing interwebz back. Other web stuff I found on it is kinda generic. Have not taken belts loose to pinpoint yet, maybe today. It's not very loud and the noise is consistent so far. I reckon I'm lucky that's all that went south during the swim.

Tis but a scratch.

did someone fart?

he needs more camber too, like he needs more cow bell lol all i hear is mountain, Mississippi queen intro lol


all that camber is not helping his traction one frigging bit.
