Madness Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ha with that much camber it will look like a stepped on matchbox car. :lol: Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 went up to the body shop Saturday to put the engine in my dad's GTO before it got put in primer or paint ended up my dad got the wrong motor mounts so that wasn't happening lol also got a quote on my bodywork (or at least damage repair) and he told me to bring $1000 to fix it, looks like it'll be a while till I go up then lmao (searching for a better job currently) so I went around the body shop, grabbed some parts off my parts car grabbed the left door and right fender off of it, so now I've got all these parts ready to prep and spray bomb to make the car look a little nicer for now and this was some of the other stuff that was up at the body shop the body guy's race car Twin Turbo 3000GT and a random 280ZX that was running super rich and fouling plugs (messed CHTS) Quote Link to comment

PurePontiacKid Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ever since I put my new header on without the wrap, my engine bay has been a lot hotter. So much so, in fact, that the heat from the header actually started melting the loom over my engine harness!! not good!! So I hit up a friend and he told me to get this DEI reflect-a-gold heat reflecting tape, so I got some! I'll let the pics do the talking lol this stuff is great!! as you can see I also wrapped my brake master heatshield with what I had left of my roll. On top of doing all that, I also changed fuel rails with a turbo one I picked up off a friend of mine (doesn't have the provision for the cold start injector, so it looks better) and deleted a water circuit that was doing nothing but looking bad and making it a PITA to work on lol Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I like the gold look! People have the chrome look, why not go all out and do the gold look? I want to dabble with gold in my engine bay! Maybe I will! Thanks. Gold is better than chrome/silver anyways. HAH! Quote Link to comment
patra_is_here Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 dude if your exhaust is running that hot you might want to double check your timing. Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hey man is your bozo exhaust removable?? How did you do that? Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Uh... yeah. lool the rusty/stupid looking part just slips into my mufflers. but now that I've got tips, they don't fit. and my timing is fine, it's just that the wiring harness isn't "supposed" to be routed that way, I just made it that way because it looks better lol the loom is literally just about 2" above the header primaries, and it melted, but the wires didn't.

PurePontiacKid Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 purple power is pretty cool stuff, cleaned my engine bay with it yesterday before: after: Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 one out of four done... blegh... I promise it will look better when I get to putting paint back on it! basically, outside ones adjust camber, and the inside ones will adjust toe, I don't think I'm going to use the Toyota bolts on the inside though, just the Nissan ones if I can get a hold of the cages and stuff.

KA620KC Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Bad Ass build up. I'm gonna be driving to Vegas next month too. I'll be there for a few days. Would be cool if we could hook up! If I had my way I'd drive my 620 but the family is coming with so no can do! Quote Link to comment

PurePontiacKid Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 this is what I've been tinkering with lately: it's all cleaned up and looking pretty now. got it in the car, it's only got one speaker lmao got new speakers from a friend, only the left side works properly, the right side is quiet as fuck.. tested all the speakers, and they work fine. Even when I put the balancer knob thingy all the way to the right, barely ANY noise comes from the right side speakers :/ WHAT DO??? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Sorry i missed you in vegas man. I really wanted to hang out for a bit. My phone ended up dying, and when i did talk to you i couldn't hear you (cuz my phones lame) If you are ever up this way, should stop by Quote Link to comment

Even when I put the balancer knob thingy all the way to the right, barely ANY noise comes from the right side speakers :/ WHAT DO??? Making a couple of assumptions on the radio design here but, the fault will most likely lie in the internal amp for that side (most likely the repeated circuits with the big caps at the back of the board, right side of pic above), in which case it is either a bad connection, or a toasted cap (could be a cooked mosfet also, but much less likely since you get some sound). An easy way to test that is to swap them from side to side and see if the problem swaps sides also. Quote Link to comment
