say wes have you had any issues with your car?

 

Hey silver Dan, are you going to be in Ohio this weekend? If so what part? Im driving up to Deerfield this weekend to visit the in-laws and go to Cedar Point. Im thinking maybe Friday or Saturday night i might have to look for something to do. Do you know of anything that goes on up that way on weekends?

 

The only issue I know of is it seems to have a fatal attraction to trees, hillsides, and j-bodies. LOL Oh yeah, and those damn axles.

 

my car seems to be healthy except for some high speed shimmying

 

My tranny whines louder than my blower.

Also for some reason when I smoke the tires, I leave two tire marks and can make smoke come out both sides. Can't figure that one out.

 

My sunroof has "squeaked" since day 1, but only when I'm on wierd angles.

 

Heh, cool. I'll be at cedar point this weekend with some friends too.

Different car, but something in my front end still clunks over really big bumps, and both of my endlinks are tight. I'm wondering if the driver-side spring isn't in the spring perch of the strut perfectly. I've only had a few other minor problems with the car so far: shifter knob rattles at certain rpm (common to almost all 6-speed gto's and the radio and/or new exhaust covers that up anyway), driver-side window will creak a tiny bit if I go over a huge bump in the road, and a little bit of paint is peeling off of the driver-side door handle, another common problem that is fixed under warranty.

There's also been a 1 inch thick scratch on my driver-side clear part of the taillight since the day I picked up the car at the dealership, but I don't think it can really be buffed out. It's hard to notice but it drives me crazy sometimes

 

Well before Saturn fixed it, mine popped off quite a number of times. Hit me in the chin, once. Damn thing is pretty heavy

 

it likes the taste of DSM's too

 

Car show in Beaver on August 4th. It is called.....snicker.... Beaver Fever. i will be there so if any pgh peeps wanna make the trip let me know.

 

So...... looking at cams for the GTO... im thinking 228/228 .588 .588 112

A guy dynoed at 420whp with the cam, exhaust, cai and a tune.

A link to what it sounds like.

 

Hmmm... ls1gto.com... looks like a good place to post about GTO parts.

 

uhhh... what?

 

So Dan... ( Silver D ) since you're looking at this stuff, are you still trying to get one???

Or is this just educational research?

 

well I am looking still... but not as hard as I was before now that the 0% is done. I am still looking to get one though, just waiting til the one I want comes around and I can make a good deal on it. Other than that im here at work bored and just learning... and planning

Thats like 45 min from my parents house... you are kinda in the middle there by canton and akron and alliance. You can find stuff around there, alliance is mainly a college town. Mount Union FTW. But yea if you guys get that bored im sure we could meet somewhere and eat or something, im supposed to go to the drive ins this weekend so im not sure whats going on.

 

humm, my goat will be more better soon

 

I read A4 transmissions are starting to go at 500whp, cant go to much higher...

 

Because 500 isn't enough?

 

Im learning that you can get into the mid 400's pretty easy with these cars, full exhaust, tune, cam, 90mm TB and intake gets you well up there.

Do some head work and you are really getting up there

For drivetrain just throw an ls7 clutch in and you should be good to go.

And I forgot about an underdrive pulley

 

built A4's for the win at that point...

i wont be close to 500 for a long while

 

What do you have planned?

 

zOMG!.... oh wait... that is stock

i have one item (a pair maybe?) on the way, lets call it a start :P

 

TT? that will put you over your 500

 

YOU GOT ***** FINALLY!

 

Lol, he got noise maker mods.
