Inertia is the tendency of any state of affairs to persist in the absence of external influences. Specifically, in physics, it is the tendency of a body to maintain its state of uniform motion unless acted on by an external force. (This is called Newton's first law of motion, taken from Galileo's principle.) The term is also used in psychology to describe a person's resistance to change.




The unit of measure for inertia is the same as for mass. Typically it is expressed in grams or kilograms.

The equivalence of mass and inertia seems to hold true according to all empirical evidence (see gravitational physics and also Mach's principle, below). In theory at least they are sometimes regarded as being separate qualities.



A further analogy is that of rotational inertia in which a rotating body maintains its state of uniform rotational motion. Thus its angular momentum would be unchanged, unless an external torque were to be applied. Rotational inertia often has hidden practical consequences. In the braking of a railway train, arresting the linear motion would require that the substantial rotational inertia of the motors must be converted to some other forms of energy, thus causing acoustic vibration of the wheels and frictional heating of the brakes on the railway carriage.

lets see. you want shar....i mean speed eh?


Lets see. since it has about 160hp right now you need to work on that. but it is probably pointless on that version of the 3.8l.


If you have money to spend......

Find a 96-03 parts car that would be any of these:

* 1996+ Buick Park Avenue
* 1997+ Buick Regal
* 1996+ Buick Riviera
* 2004 Chevrolet Impala
* 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
* 1996+ Pontiac Bonneville
* 1997+ Pontiac Grand Prix

next you would need the drivetrain

That would mean the motor, trans, pcm, motor mounts, and wiring harnesses.

You would need a shop to make custom motor mounts for you to fit if it is a '90 model year.

With a stock L67 Series II drive train you would be looking at around 240hp and 280tq.

Your car would still not be that fast though, but much faster than any stock rice burner.

You could add a smaller pulley, cold air induction, and exhaust for a little horsepower so you would be in the 280hp and 320tq range.






For appearance:

Go with 22" since 20's are just plain weak on a car like that. You would need a shop to cut away some medal though and shave the hell out of the fenders so you dont rub. You would need some 235 width or narrower if you could find them.


For paint get a custom paint job by West Coast Customs lcoated at 5301 West 104th (In Los Angeles). I am sure they could figure something out.




Good Luck

ahhhhhh ok.......

thats nice but i think NICKCAR74 is refering to the switch that will shut down the fuel pump when a certain g-force in some direction is met such as if you spin out or get in an accident i know my car has one because one year when we didn't get much snow and the lakes were frozen over and very smooth and slippery i took my car out there spinning it out and doing rockfords with it i must have tripped it because while i was pulling a rockford the motor shut off

but to answer your question no i do not know where this switch is either

I think the mystery switch would shut off power to the fuel pump. I know on Fords,The switch was located in the trunk.I would look there.Pull back the cardboard lining.Should be located on the left,or right side.Good luck..Diesel 1962...
