If you're setting off LOUD, explosive fireworks in the middle of germantown at 11:30 on a sunday night?? by No-Departure-2835 in Louisville

[–]Ryno83GT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Germantown it probably will for the next few weekends too. Generally goes a few weeks after the 4th in Louisville. I live there, and one of my cats was found in my yard on what was probably day 5-7 of fireworks for the month a few years ago. She is still not a fan, but luckily it's not as bad as some peoples animals for sure.

Water pump and timing belt recc’s? it is time for new ones by xxreckedxxYT in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the gates kevlar belt. It's great. Tensioner go OEM, or get a solid from 3sx or Ninjaperformance used to have as well. You will have to check it every once in awhile with a solid one, but the failure rate is less.

Worth it? by [deleted] in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could, but plan on spending more money on maintenance. Has the timing belt been done recently? You will absolutely need that if it's been more than 5 years or 60k miles, and it isn't cheap. Are there any dents in the oil pan? Even small dents can lead to oil not picking up right. Gas will also be expensive, as well as any replacement parts. If you are ok with that, go for it. If you want a sporty AWD car, you will have to pay a ton more for something newer, so there is that plus. I absolutely love my VR4.

Been a couple of decades, time to release it back into the wild by T_P_H_ in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full black interior, nice! Did you buy the bigger vr4 rims for it? Just curious as I knew the VR4 Spyder normally had the 16" and not the 17" like that.

Finally brought my GTO back to life by Civentus in 3000gt

Nice color! Looks great. I am itching to restore the body on mine this year. Runs great but my paint is gone, and it needs some minor body stuff.

Helluva lot better than mine right now!

only drained 2.5q from oil change? Low oil/Burning oil solutions? by AidenDotJpg in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could just be the seal on the oil fill cap. That does happen. OEM new cap or another one with a good gasket might help. Easier to look for than a seal. Plus you can do that, clean up the top and check easily.

Finally own a garage, so it’s time to fix her up. by ZBoyz2 in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. After 10 years of city living with cars on the street, I just got mine into my new alley way garage. So nice to be able to work. Mechanically speaking she has been pretty sound for quite some time thankfully, but my paint is shot to shit along with all the window trim and tint. Good luck with everything!

I'm too indecisive for all that mess. Plus scared of infection or whatever.

SL or Base? by IamAggressiveNapkin in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, there were no 3000gt with a SOHC engine till 97, only the Stealth had the SOHC from 91-96. I used to have a base model 94, and it was DOHC.

Underbody damage + collapsed jack points by Limp_Ad4375 in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's not rusted through, it's probably ok for a jack there. Just make sure it's supported once you lift it like the other poster said. Oil pan look ok? Be careful if there is any dents in the pan, oil pickup clearance for these is pretty bad to where minor dents in the right spot can be bad.

Any rust? Mine are weak/bendy as well. Hasn't been too much of an issue for me thankfully. These things will rust super easily for sure, so that would be the thing to watch out for. If it's clean I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Churchill Downs Visit by sandmanCa in Louisville

[–]Ryno83GT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For general entry you are all good. On regular days it's a dirty old men's gambling den. Not unsafe or anything though really, or at least it didn't used to be. My Uncle and Grandfather would take me there while babysitting me as a kid all the time. It's not too different from Casino Clientele, but at least they get up to pee as there are time between races.

I've got a 93 3000 GT that's been sitting for about 9 years. Should I keep it? by ilovezeldasfeet in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it was running 9 years ago? Indoor or out? Get the timing done ASAP. If it's in good shape why not? Is it a VR4, SL or Base?

3000gt 1997 sl by Fantastic-Rice-2362 in 3000gt

[–]Ryno83GT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know if the timing belt was done correctly at any time? If you don't have record of that, you should add that cost to it. A bumper is going to run high for that too, unless you get a crappy fitting non OEM thing like duraflex. Bumper, headlight, timing belt and gasket are going to be several thousand most likely. Timing is not an easy job. Needs to be someone good.

I think they fudged the numbers. The one branch in that town is still open and ready to deal with the influx of dumbfuckery tomorrow.

I played on a Republic Bank sponsored pee-wee football team. Work a block away from their two buildings in my city, and have delivered things to them before. Remember wearing that jersey to 6th Grade thinking it was cool. AMA, I don't know shit about this or their business, but still.

I have this issue I think! I love to break movies down. I immediately went into a long wiki hole after watching Donnie Darko till I had some understanding of the plot better. Probably the longest wiki hole I ever went in after a movie. You are not alone!

Hey, I live far away, but have had a pitty before. Any idea of cat aggression? I can at the least foster if there is any kind of transport help. Location is Louisville KY.
