05 GT rebuild. trans swap, headers, etc. Still slow.

[RobFRC]

Lets see how bad this goes this time around.

It sat for a while, but this misfire went away on its own lol

Sounds like shit right?


Nice fresh 10k mile trans

GMPP bars and 07-03 arms

Trans cooler, shift kit, moog shit, etc

Progress so far

AC stuff if anyne wants it

So far only issue is one if the tstat housing threads into the LIM cross threaded.

[RobFRC]

Its gotten in the way over a dozen times compared to the amount of times I use it which is none.

 

[RobFRC]

In need of bracket to install dead pulley in place of AC compressor

how has it gotten in the way?

on my turbo car, i have fully functioning awesome air... and with all that added bullshit... it hasn't gotten in the way

 

[boostedguy05]

congrats on getting it running again.

sorry i didnt want to play on the way home the other day. i was tired of getting beat on all day long.

 

[RobFRC]

Last time the trans kept getting stuck on the lines on the driver side, and I removed the fan to install front header and the lines were getting in the way there too.

Fully functioning awesome AC is worthless when you never use it lol

 

[boostedguy05]

i only use the A/C if the woman is in the car. Happy Wife Happy Life.

You people are weird. With the humidity this whole week AC is a must. That car will be impossible to resell without AC. I've never heard of anyone wanting to delete the AC because the lines were in the way

To each though

Congrats on the work man. How come you went with 2nd gen LCA's?

Oh, and AC FTMFW. I use that shit every day when the weather is like this.

Have you seen the car? Resell doubt that is ever his intention. Good luck with the swap.

The GMPP front sway bar doesn't work with the 04+ arms, there's no tab for the end link on the arm.

Right on. When this car leaves me it'll most likely be to a junk yard.

Thanks.

My friend Eric came over and was able to fix the threads on the LIM for the tstat so that little issue is outta the way.

Subframes out and trans is ready to fall out but now it's time to do some cleaning before all that.

Ahhhhh gotcha. Did not know that!

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Why did it run like shit?

 

[RobFRC]

Besides me having to neutral bomb it to get it to move as shown it hasn't driven in over a month and
has only been started briefly once a week.

Last time I started it before moving it into the garage it had a misfire that seemed to go away on its own.

So over all not really sure, I feel like it just needs to be beat on once the new trans and stuff is all in.

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Didn't sound right to me.. I think my turbo car that hasn't been started in 6 months will start and run better than that...

If you think thats bad heres how it ran last week


It started running weird when the trans started fucking up really bad so well see what happens. Worst case scenario I have to take the top end off then I might as well put a gt1 cam in it right? lol

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Lol do work!

 

[RobFRC]

So glad I don't NEED a car right now and for the last month, but I potentially have a very good job interview next week so hopefully it drives by Sunday.

 

[smug]

I would never get rid of my AC. Never ever.

 

[RICH17]

I'm much happier that the Grand Am has a/c. My balls are happier as well

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

buncha pussies

ill give ya 40$ for the condensor

 

[Fish]

Nice build up. The headers will for sure help with MPG and top end, but GL below 4K RPMs.

 

[Freebeer187]

... I havent had AC in my GP for two summers now
