I am thinking about getting rid of my beloved problem child. Body not so good. Been wrecked and peiced back together(not great but not bad for not having the right tools). There are still some dents but it is all there but the valance. Motor has all new sensors, injectors, turbo rebuilt, plugs, wires, newer coils and ICM. Underneath it is all new. Exhaust, tires, pads, rotors, hoses, struts all around, tie rods, ball joints, aligned. Kenny chip.The bad radiator leaks over 5 lbs boost it backfires and loses power.Drivers seat is showing its age, other 3 are good. I will post pictures if you are interested. I have put over 3,000 into her and I cant figure it out. I will take offers and decide if I want to sell it. I hope this is where I put this .
Thanks again guys,
Shawn
Is this for a TGP you are selling?
Oh yeah forgot that one lol
1990 Turbo grand prix
RED, LEATHER,SUNROOF(doesnt slide back, but does go up)I will get some pics up on friday for anyone interested.
I may be interested if it'll drive back to New York State for the right price. Post pictures & more information!
Well I know the Radiator wont make it. I leaks pretty good and I am trying to get it fixed but work isnt helping me. I hope to get it fixed before to long.
I saw this thing on Myth Busters... you've got nothing to lose. Crack an egg into the radiator. They put a screwdriver hole through the radiator and they tried a number of things to plug it. The only thing that worked was an egg.
lol ya, I saw that episode too, but it's probably only a temporary fix, and idk about you, but I don't want an egg runnin through my engine... lol
I am going to pull the rad out tomorrow and try that metal epoxy and see wht happens. I dont want an egg in there either
Did you ever try the Bar's Leaks radiator solution stuff? Supposedly it works real well.
yeah it didnt do anything. It is more of a split then a hole. All I know is that it leaks then produces an air pocket that messes up everything if i dont catch it in time so it has been sitting for 2 weeks and now I am going to tear into it. It is not my daily driver it only got 1000 miles since I replaced everything. So I hope to get it fixed tomorrow I want to drive it and clean it up.
BUMP BUMP!!!!!!
Would like to get about 1200 - 1500 bucks for her. Will get pics up friday. I live in PA zipcode 16637. It wont make it with the rad. that just keeps leaking. This car needs to go fast. Make me an offer.
Trade you a stock upper inctercooler pipe for yours?
Why do you want mine? All I did was paint it red.
Oh, not powdercoated? Sorry lol...my bad.
BUMP someone buy!
Grinder18 are you sick of me being here? LOL
No no not at all...just trying to help ya ;)
Thanks man. I will take all the help I can get.
Sounds like you have a bad O2 or a some kind of tuning issue? Are there any exhaust leaks? You have a lot of coin into this car you might want to think about finishing it up so you have at least something to show for all the time and money you spent......Just my 2 cents. god knows I went through a lot of the same kinds of issues with my adventure in my GPSE turbo but there are a lot of people here that will help you solve the problems.....

I like the egg Idea for one reason.....you will definitely pick up at least one Chick with your car.(http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/leghump.gif) Sorry...I don't usually crack bad jokes like that...but I couldn't resist. Well at least you get a FREE BUMP (http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/fart.gif)
That was funny. Here are some pictures. The first one if you look behind the door where the molding is you can see the only rust spot. Second one shows the black hood with dents and clear coat peel. Fourth one shows the drivers seat where the seam split. If you want more pics I will put them up.
