cyberquest Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 just went out and cold started the car to see how it ran today. first bump of the key and it fired right up and idled nice and smooth, warmed up and idle dropped down to a perfect smooth 900rmps. this baby is ready to rock. gonna get it cleaned up later today and back together and attempt another test drive.

cyberquest Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 just got back from a longer test drive, no cops this time. found the clunking noise in the rear end, seems the rear tire will make a clunking sound when its loose and is hitting the strut tower. when i swapped the back wheels out for some stock ones with better tires i was like OHHH CRAP. no more clunking. as far as the car goes, WOW drives much better now and as far as the trans goes it seems its working perfect to me. hitting all gears including OD and stayin in OD, using the OD switch it shifts out of it if you press it, and goes right back in if you let the button back out. it pulls a little to the drivers side and can use a alignment but other then that it drives pretty smooth. boosts great, pull pretty hard for a completly stock auto car, brakes seem ok and no funky noises other then what sounds like a cat converter sheild rattling.

83_project_toy Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 yea the rear rims where just snugged up when they left here i told him to tighten him but it was a long trip so he probably forgot. the car pulls to the right because the passenger side tie rod end is BENT and needs to be changed also warned about and it's very noticeably bent not a small bend.
