What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0



Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Not for a guy like me. You open enough hoods and you'll understand what was changed. Then you can dazzle the GP world when you know what fits which platform.

Take a bit of time and play around at a junkyard. Look over the LeSloppers and realize they are basically Bonnevilles that could never get a SC. Park Aves are essentially the same as a Riviera, the Goober Patrol, Gimpala, Regal and Monte Crisco were all the same.

Swapped the drivers power seat track for a manual one.

All to save a few pounds.

What car is the Goober Patrol supposed to be? But if you lined up every car with a 3800, I couldn't tell the difference in what's different. They all look the same to me.

Highlighted to make it a bit easier. It's a GP hahahahahaha
Take a longer look. Take a Bonneville airbox and look at it next to a gp one. etc. Huge differences when you start messing with them a lot.

The air boxes are obvious lol. I'm taking about like no engine cover, air box, etc. Just straight motor lol. I know the 3.8L in the early 6th generation SE's have a different throttle body. I noticed they have two hoses coming off of them instead of one like mine.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

The additional hose port is blocked on yours. Reason for that hose was a different transmission that used the hose for the modulator. Something that your transmission does with an electronic soleniod and it's one of it's biggest problem areas.

Almost forgot. Rolled past 220K this am in the GTP. Cleaning the 02's HUD and swapping it in was a win, I could read mph going directly into the sun today. Bill, what acronyms u got for Audi? I'll hafta noodle on that, ha.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

My HUD has issues sometimes. Every once in awhile, I will be driving at night and the HUD will just die. Can hardly see the numbers on it. I'll try turning it off and back on and no luck. Then the next day it works perfect. Any idea?

I don't know of any. I do know that from day one I've called it one ring short of the special olympics..

So the transmissions in those cars were better than mine?

Most don't consider it to be better. That one thing was old school and better because the solenoids the factory used would fail often. The pumps in that trans though couldn't spin the rpm and would cavitate etc.
