    Loss of Oil Pressure

    no different noises that i can remember, the car had a bad vibration though from the day i bought it until it blew apart that i never did track down. The car still ran good and had good power, but you felt it in your ass. I was merging onto a freeway and got stuck behind a slow truck, once i...

    Loss of Oil Pressure

    Sounds like the oil thins out(when hot) and you are losing pressure, could be the oil pump is starting to crap out, or the bearings are going south. When you change the oil, it is fresh enough to maintain good viscosity. See pictures below for what happened when my stock gauge started to...

    94 GT40P re-do/chassis rebuild

    It hasnt seen snow since ive owned it, about 5years, but it had a hard life prior to me aquiring it from an auction sale. I have reason to bieleve that a farm kid must have owned it, judging by the amount of gravel chipped paint begind the front tires, and the chrome wheel well strips that where...

    94 GT40P re-do/chassis rebuild

    Hey, thought id put together a diary of my build, its not going to be much in the scheme of things, but its fun for me! The motor that is in my car is from a 97 exploder that i installed a couple years ago when the stocker blew its brains out on the highway one day. At that time i was on an...

    Longtube Headers?

    I dont see any problem putting LTs on a stock headed, minimal bolt-on car. You gotta start somewhere right? most people cant just throw 2 or 3grand at the car in one sitting for bolt-ons, you build your combo one piece at a time. Once you do decide to put aluminum heads on it, you will already...

    1995 gt missing power

    My guess is its throwing a "Lean left bank" followed by a "Lean right bank" code, because the MAF Sensor is so dirty from that junk K&N filter. My car had the exact problem, wayyyy underpowered, struggled to spin the tires in first. The oil from the K&N sticks on the sensor wires and then...

    Car is STILL a slug...

    When you clean the MAF you need to physically clean it with a Q-tip and brake/electrical cleaner to really make it effective. Just spraying it doesnt have enough ooompphhh to get all the crap off. I ***** you not it turned my car from a total turd that would just bog out if you tried to dump the...
