    🔧 BUILD Quarter Life Crisis. It's a thing. v.GN

    Have you noticed a lot of extra vibrations or anything like that after converting to poly bushings? I've never tried without poly bushings but I feel like I have an abnormal amount of vibration in my car and have always attributed it to the poly bushings and considered swapping them back to...

    🔧 BUILD Queen: 4T80e Turbo 2001 Park Avenue

    Nothing wrong with taking a break from the car for a few months. I go through cycles throughout the year myself where I dive balls deep into a single project for a while, get tired of it, and move on to something else for a while. I can't say I've ever seen a spark plug do that though. What...

    🔧 BUILD I Like Wagons and I Don't Care Who Knows

    This car will get low won't get low enough to tuck the tires in the fenders like that in this platform. It's going to be really nice to have the flexibility to raise the ride height for rough roads and lower it for car shows and stuff though.

    🔧 BUILD I Like Wagons and I Don't Care Who Knows

    Yeah the rust sealed the deal on cutting out the mounts on the axle. I ended up doing it to both sides so the spring design would be the same across the board and because the passenger side probably wasn't far behind. I wanted to have a flat smooth surface for the air spring to roll onto when...

    BUILD I Like Wagons and I Don't Care Who Knows - Suspension Updates

    So the springs on this car were much softer than I would have expected for a wagon in the rear, and the front springs needed to be replaced too since they're the originals and I want to lower the car from the factory ride height by quite a bit. factory replacement springs for the rear were hard...

    3800 Tres Eight Lounge

    I did create one, it still exists but I have only been doing small edits here and there https://3800wiki.com/ Soon the server will actually be in a house with fiber internet again. Between work, building a house, building a car, and other stuff I just haven't had time to mess with it alone...

    🔧 BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

    I don't see a flex fuel sensor yet 😆

    🔧 BUILD I Like Wagons and I Don't Care Who Knows

    So I anticipated this a little and put the MAP sensor directly onto the intake manifold so it doesn't have any sort of lag in response or anything like that. The FPR though is going to be teed off of the vacuum manifold but I have a sensor on it to read the fuel pressure and if the lag is...

    🔧 BUILD I Like Wagons and I Don't Care Who Knows

    That explains so much then, I was thinking it was somehow related to the AWD option the 6000's had but really couldn't think of any other reason aside from the cat then. I couldn't believe how wide the tunnel was and how narrow they made the passenger side of the car when I first saw it. Glad...

    BUILD I Like Wagons and I Don't Care Who Knows - Seats are finally sorted!

    You guys aren't going to like this 😆 So the original seat for this car was a full bench seat which was pretty cool, but it had no adjustment capabilities at all aside from front to back. The back of the seat wasn't adjustable and it really weren't that comfortable at all. It was also broken...

    🔧 BUILD Twincharged 3800 Malibu

    That headliner removal didn't turn out too bad, you convinced me it'll be okay to do that to mine now haha I've had push pins in mine for like 10 years now and the dust coming from it really just adds another lay of frustration to road trips that would be nice to not have anymore lol. I thought...

    oh dude yeah that's right, I forgot that I have those circuits I can play with too now haha! Back in the day my brother built this crazy looking LED light thing out of plexiglass because they suspected the injectors weren't getting signal from the PCM and it seemed like the pcm didn't have any...

    fwiw, the Holley does generate a tach signal so it won't be needed for that at least. Wonder if I could use the ICM pins to throw some silly Led lights somewhere in the interior lol
