So. As alot of you know, I ended up tinting a pair of tail lights for some random guy.

Well I made this mistake doing it in the cold and they came out like sh1t. So I had to give him mine... It broke my heart.

Walking out of class today, I saw the car with my old tail lights. A shed a tear after seeing them... :(

The old ones are toast. Good luck fixing them. I already have my LED ones, have had them since December. My old ones are just sitting in the garage as a nasty ornament.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

Finished up gathering all my LIM gasket odds and ends for saturday.

Fel-Pro LIM Gasket Set
1 Bottle Dex-cool Coolant
12 Quarts Oil
2 Oil Filters
Copper RTV
Brake Cleaner
Supercharger Gasket

Also picked up seafoam to do that at the same time.

Hopefully I am not missing anything.

Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

Don't forget to change your spark plugs after you seafoam it. I would throw those platinum plugs you had before and then seafoam it. Drive it for a 100 miles then change the oil and spark plugs.

So this car will be getting three oil changes?

Dear lord. 2 during the LIM and one soon after the seafoam. Is that correct?
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

Correct. Use whatever oil you can find for cheap I think I used super tech oil from Walmart. Then once you do the 3 oil changes switch to the good stuff.
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

I have Valvoline Max Life, 12 quarts of it for the two oil changes during the LIM.

Why did I get that stuff? Cause it was on sale and I get a discount at the place I work. Came out to be the same price as Wal-Mart Oil.

Maybe i'll hold off on the seafoam for now.

So I will need to:
Put in my old plugs
Seafoam car
Drive around for roughly a day
Put 104s back in
Change oil
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

You got it.


And prepare for the smoke show your going to get when you seafoam it. It's pretty epic.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

I've never seafoamed the car.

Where do usually insert the Saefoam?

Ive heard some people put it in the gas tank.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

Half in the gas tank, pour a good 1/3 down the brake boost vac line, and then if you want throw some in the oil. But I don't like that option but to each their own
 


Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

How about 1/2 in tank 1/2 in Brake Boost Vac Line?

Do that, call it a day and watch smoke show in Awww.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

That's fine you don't necessary have to out it in the crankcase. I would check the portions though you may not need to use that much. Later when I get access to a computer ill try to find you a link.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP, No More Dinner Plate.

idk about half and half. maybe 1/3 in the boost and 2/3 in the tank. but yeah we'll get it done :D can't wait to see my bud
