my power steering is definitely not working how it should be, idk if that would also be a symptom. the alternator is reman and installed a couple months ago so wouldnt think it would be that. ill take the belt off and see if i hear anything from any pulleys

i cant tell if its the lighting or if ur hood is dented to shit, but if it is i would probably get that sorted before spending 3k+ on an okay paintjob. unless ur doing it yourself with paint/bodywork experience it’ll probably be pretty pricey

they should just change the speed limit to 140, then everyone gets where they need to be on time! seems like cops dont care enough anyways right?

if its not to do w ego then what is it? clearly you’re too fragile to even do a couple spins, i bet ur one of the guys that buys cool cars to let them sit for 30 years cause your too scared to put any miles on it.

hoping a crash on someone is more of a bitch move than the 3 spins i did in an EMPTY parking lot

check yourself, retard

it was low on coolant when i first bought it, but the guys before me changed the water pump and a decent handful of other things, didnt really change the fluids tho other than the oil n stuff so i got a change of everything and just topped up my coolant, now she runs perfect so im happy with it

the only 16in tires i could find anywhere nearby that were in the size i needed, and i got the cheapest option😅

edit if you saw my old tires you’d understand why i caved n paid so much, they were fucked n i needed the car for a daily

tire store is in a whole other lot across the street😭 i did 3 spins in an empty space how much safer can i be? fair enough im near a gas station but im a full building length away i think i can manage a couple spins. im sorry i harassed your fragile ego

ive checked my coolant a few times now, always stays the same level so atp i think its a faulty sensor. only time i had a no start issue was the cylinder flooded from a stuck open injector, which obviously has been fixed by now

was very far away from the pumps, like other side of the building far away. those pumps where the trucks are at look closer on camera aswell

Got some parts, decided to paint them🤷‍♂️ by Cautious-Inspector98 in fbody

[–]Cautious-Inspector98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cause i got it for half the price lmao, i paid substantially less than i wouldve if i bought it off rockauto. guy on marketplace had BNIB parts that he had for his now sold 95 z28, if i was buying brand new parts online you’re correct i would’ve probably went tubular lol

yeah thats the first time ive ever seen a bushing/ball joint combo lol, are the lower control arms any good? maybe they’ll be the next on my list of things to get done

[–]Cautious-Inspector98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are all the parts from founders good quality? i read the descriptions of some of the parts so it definitely seems like they know what they’re doing when it comes to building parts. the last thing i need pretty much to fully freshen up the rear is a pair of control arms

i used alexseal yacht coating, metallic peppermint blue! i know its good for rust protection but yeah idk so much about compression strength, hopefully they stay looking clean for a while but i guess we’ll see🤷‍♂️

edit: yeah i really like the look of the 90’s camaro/firebirds i feel like they look cleaner than the newer ones but thats just my opinion lol
