  1. I agree. But not when it is coming form the timing belt.
  2. So after tearing it down *again*. Well only some of it. I reset the timing belt tension. No more supercharger sound. I have a leak on my upper rad hose. Right at the cap for the thermostat. I'll deal with that later.
  3. I know no one gives a shit. But i'll put this here anyway.
  4. Got everything finished up today. List of parts bought. Parts Old pump out. New new in. Tried to polish up my valve cover a little. All finished. After doing more reading i think my cam seals may be leaking as well... i dunno. I'll swap this one when it blows up.
  5. Now this guy on xceed i bought it from said that the water pump and timing belt was replaced which was not true. Not sure if he lied to me, or he was lied to. Either way it doesn't matter. Ended up that the water pump was leaking, actually spraying on the back of the crank pulley. Started tearing it down. 109k on the clock. These are in order. I'm new to the whole DOHC stuff with the spark plug down inside. But the little tube that had spark plug 1 in it had some oil in it. I also almost never got #2 out it was so tight.
  6. Boy do i ever love the hard top. But i want to be able to remove it quickly, and none do that. Plus they cost so much i don't even like talking about it. Oh, and the top of the car is at my belly button. I'm 5'10" It don't need a drop, it just needs rims to fill the gaps.
  7. Tore the front of the motor off today. Leak was in and or around the water pump somewhere... Bummer is, i have to take the timing belt off to get to the water pump. Hopefully when i take the old pump off i can see where the leak is.
  8. Monster shadow. That all you can come up with? It was taken in the freekin mountains.
  9. I'm not putting a v8 in it. That's just stupid. And it is not getting riced out. I'll find a new R spec front lip and call it a day as far as body goes.
  10. Apperantly i have the more desired "R" package, which as all the upgraded suspension and drivetrain mods. Also, in my year there were only 1200 of my cars made. 1994 R Package The R package was a $1500 option package and not a special model Equipment: Sport Suspension (Bilsteins shocks, heavy-duty rear springs, heavier sway bars), rear spoiler, front air dam, rear skirt, alloy wheels, Torsen limited slip differential The R was not available with power steering, automatic transmission or with A, B, C option packages Optional: air conditioning, hardtop (dealer installed only) Production: 1218 Base MSRP: $18,150 plus $395 freight, plus options Brochures: The R Package was listed in the sales brochure. The Laguna Blue R package was shown in a magazine ad in 1994
  11. Brace yourselves this very build thread on this very site could be better than that build thread. As far as plans. I have no idea, i know nothing about this car and that is just what i wanted it for. I know i will be putting storage insurance on it and wait till spring to drive it. Save up cash, and figure out this coolant leak. I know what it needs, and what i will end up buying. Coilovers, maybe springs. But most likely coilovers. Roll bar. Front lip. And idk. haha. I only got the car today, it may take a while to set in. Edit: Just for the record, chris. I will NOT make this a hella flush, scenester, fukin classy, jdm vehicle.
  12. I made a thread on xceed about it. It got to 4 pages with everyone saying how dry and boring the dialogue was. Tanner Foust can drive, but god he is the worst host ever. The fat bearded guy has some potential tho.

  14. I have spent about 30 minutes total in and or around my new car. There are some things wrong with it. Leaking coolant, i am 90% sure from the water pump. (he told me "the guy at the shop said it was a hose or something") pfft There was water on the inside of the trunk lid but not on the bottom. (i'm sure it's nothing) I thought these things had power steering? Maybe i am just used to driving the GA where i can spin the wheel with one finger. Haven't figured out how to get the top down. Front bumper is faded. Oh, the mirrors are off and look to have no way of going back on. But i guess if it was perfect than it wouldn't be a project car. He said New timing belt, water pump, battery and wires just done a few hundred miles ago. Clutch and all that feels great. He said the car was owned by a little ol lady before him, he drove it for like 2 months.

    Spring came early.
  16. There is only one person i would nominate... But i can't get his name off the tip of my tongue.
  17. This "game" is the worst. I've been calling it a MW2 expansion pack. That is all it is.
  18. http://foreverpontiac.com/index.php?showtopic=1428 I'm willing to bet your brother knows the guy who organized this trip, Roger. Edit, wait a minute.... I think i remember him talking about you. But he talked so damn much i either forgot what he said, or just zoned him out.
  19. Well i avoided the site because i dreaded waiting for the dang thing to load, and the un-smooth scrolling. Week ago, yesterday, month ago... It was all slow as hell. But, it is much faster now, so that is all that matters. Edit, well using the slide bar on the side i still get the un-smooth scrolling. It is also only on this site... But we've been over this before, and i've gotten over it.
  20. Yeah, site is way faster now... The dang thing hardly slushed along before.
  21. Quoted from a fellow GA owner. I could have not said it better myself.
