Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Funny you should mention global warming , did you see my thread on that $25 million dollar prize ?

Here is the link to that.

I personaly contribute very little in green house gases.
Most would come from my autos and the propane I use for heating.
Which I'm planing on changing when I get $3-4K for a geothermal hvac(heat pump).
Big cost up front but saves in the long run.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

help meh with some ebay... CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, I dont recall wtf the front window motors look like, I have done so much with the rear windows....

so I plan on fixing my 2 front windows myself here soon as it warms up... on ebay I do a search for 'window 99 pontiac grand am' and I get all these window motor assembles that look nothing like mine

It just looks nothing like mine, the X and all that ... mine has a big metal slider that moves the window up/down and bolts up as the track....



Mine looks like this one below



edit: and my inside of my car door looks nothing like this... lol the motor is near the bottom

Probly that punch to the ear.

If you remember Heraldo Riviera lost his hearing in one ear from being hit on the ear.

On a lighter note, the temps here went from 5-10 deg sat/sunday to the 40's yesterday. Now I have Ice mountains all around.
Sure hate to hit those with the GA's, probly break something for sure.....

Yep You will break somehthing on the g/a. Probably the front bumper or that lower air dam thing. I ripped off my air dam off the 6 the other day on some snow/ice mounds when i was trying to park my car on the street in front of my girls house.. thankfully it didnt break it just popped off with the plastic screw clips. Popped it back on and GOOD as new!

a punch to the ear.. that had to hurt like a bitch. DAMN! Last time i got hit... the pain was unbearable for days! but i guess a baseball bat will do that to ya....

on a different subject... last night me and my girl were coming back from an appointment form a DJ. so guys pulls up next to us signaling to roll down the window.. the guy made some real retard comment that made no sense ( high school kids) Anyways, the next light since she was pissed she took off.. in her little RSX, by the time she hit 3rd his little VW jetta couldn't keep up, so she backed off, I waved BYE BYE pointed and laughed, since he lost... LOL the guy spun out trying to make a hard right going about 50... Oh well. I'm a little annoyed though cuz i couldn't get to play! Then to top it off another 500 yards up the street there was a cop radaring! It would have been so worth it for him to get caught...

back to work i go.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

I wouldnt waste my money on a stage one unless you were going to keep it that way. Thats just me though.
Its not easy getting those damn cams in either

Hum, I didnt see any GA's on that street scene link......
Still looking though!

On a side note, have you ever tried to dig a hole when the ground was frozen ?
My dog of almost 14yrs was hit last sat, hardly a scratch on her
Now its been 40deg and I need a hole dug ,
or I'm gonna have to creamate(with Fire) her

sorry to be a bummer

Ok I heard that GA which has some sort of modifications but I cnat be certain from that clip.
Click here to see Video

The engine was cold so it doesnt seem to want to idle right.
Mine sounds louder, but rumbles just the same.
He's probly running stock injectors too

Not to shabby though.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

yea I found out that the coolant is leaking outside 'mostly' of the GA which is a good sign I guess... Curious bout my oil level cause its pretty high.. way past the 'full' mark thats set on the dip stick... and why do I still have the smell on the inside

Its leaking umm, on the passenger side, havent found from where exactly but its near the firewall I want to guess and its dripping onto one of those mounts that I guess hold the front end together lol.. 2 of them and its just dripping pretty bad....

I was playing around in a parking lot today and noticed the dribble where I was going slow.. so I uh did a quick burn out to see where its at aligned w/ my tires lol and sure enough it was coming from the passenger side near the firewall...

not sure whats down there but eh.. need it fixed lol
