• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Let's just rename this PurpleGuy's GTO tuning endeavor

Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

Anyone ever have an issue where their HUD goes to "0" and then scrolls through the numbers sooooper fast back to the speed you're at? Mine does it at random. Not really an issue....just curious if anyone else's car does it. My 99 never did..and every other GP i've driven doesn't do it.
 


Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

In the beginning I thought I was just seeing things.

But yes, ive seen mine do it occasionally.
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

mine will go from the actual speed and will change quickly to many different speeds
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

Cool. Glad mine isn't the only one that acts up
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

Well anywho. I did get a hone and I got one sleeve enlarged enough to fit over a strut. I started the other but didn't get it finished. These stones are way too fine.

But I'm not using the hone for what it was intended. So I can't complain. It's just time consuming is all.

I also think I ripped a bushing up front. Not sure. Haven't got the car off the ground to look.

EDIT: Once I do get the rear done I'm dropping the car back down to where it was. Or maybe lower. Gotta get ready for winter.
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

And finally got around to finishing the rear.

I'm in the middle of finishing my coilovers as well. What struts did you use? I couldn't seem to find a direct fit with sleeves for AGX's...
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

nice! I've been patiently waiting for the rears to get finished haha. They look good and the car should look awesome after they get installed
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

those springs look super long, haha.
 


Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

What? its half way up and if cranked down the strut would loose range if the spring was shorter. obviously compression on the vehicle will be different. Not sure what your getting at nick.
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

just that the whole strut assembly is super huge. the best start at being lower is an overall shorter setup in total.
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

not if the strut is going to bottom out...... sure anyone could put short springs on it
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

the strut would have to be shorter, too. or the rod has to be shortened, which isn't that hard of a task in total.

either way, i'm sure it'll go low enough for austin. he isn't looking to rub the side skirts like i try to.
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

Well the rears are on and it definitely has the ability to tuck tire with a 12" spring. I don't have the rear sway bar attached right now. But honestly. That this a ****ing joke. It's all sorts of flimsy. Not to mention I could bend and twist the end links by hand.

But anywho. They're on. Only complaint I have is the rear is bouncy. But even without the rear sway link attached it definitely handles better despite being bouncy.
 


Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

Oh yea...I discovered this during the swap.

Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

Well my car started makin a noise just this last hour. Sounds like something's vibrating or something. Only does it when in gear stopped at idle. Any bit of throttle it goes away. Can only really hear it inside the car. Can't hear it from engine bay. Can sorta hear it with your head behind the driver front tire. Daffuuukkk
 
Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low, front dropped on Pg. 24. Still waiting on rear sleev

Well. GTX wheels and turbo parts just might have to go in favor of a new car.
