Thanks for the hope. If it was the flexplate I'll dance a fucking jig! .

hmm.. nope.. not yet. interesting Would the car still move if it was the flexplate?

So yeah after working on my POS Buick since Sunday after work (3 hours a day) I finally got it running today. Took it to Nd2race (I think) and he fixed the exhaust. After finding out the intercooler I put on was FUCKED I took it off and threw the stock blower on it. Before I had a massive vac leak and was seeing 12-14 inches of vac at idle and it ran like shit. So I put the stocker on there. 19 inches. Great. Runs great. Went over to my parents house to talk to my mom (she just got out of surgery today). On the way home I went WOT a few times. I was scanning with my laptop, wideband looked good. I get off at 62 to go home and on the corner where it straightens out I hit it. About 5k rpm's it doesn't feel right. Just kinda hangs there. then the fucking car stalls. Pull over. start it up. and it starts knocking. great. I limp it home after it dies 3 times. Pull the plugs and they're all good. when I popped off the oil cap there was a decent amount of steam. I drain the oil. Looks fine. no coolant in the oil. I've never heard a rod knock before. It's hard to tell if ti's coming from the trans or the engine. If anyone is NOT going to the track day tomorrow feel free to come by and give me a second opinion. Fuck it. I'm going to get fucking drunk tonight and try not to worry about it. So after the week was over, the really ONLY thing I got installed on the car was the headers. The i/c wasn't on the car. Same pulley as before. Oh yeah, I'm not going to the track day tomorrow .

fuck reposts !

I just finished my car today (sorta). I need to get the exhaust welded up tomorrow.

I'm going to buy one for my bar downstairs. like $60 shipped on ebay.

:nutkick:

In Phils case, it would be a 40 oz of Colt 45.

At this point I'm not sure if my car will be done in time. I'm sure it will be. I'm hoping to have it running by Friday and do a basic tune on it on Saturday. It wouldn't bother me one bit if it was cancelled. When will we know?

Inb4 Jones starts humping your leg because you had an Audi. welcome.

You sure as shit ain't no handy man. :gtfo:

You know what's funny about that? When I demodded my Lumina and put it all back to stock, the trans dip stick wasn't even bolted down! Even after I brought it to the shop, the bolt was in there.. nice and tight. The dipstick however wasn't even close to lining up! lolz.

Just follow the yellow brick road.

Yeah, it's still a turd no matter how you look at it.

I sure as hell hope so. http://bucky.kicks-ass.net/car/regalgs/mods/ Headers, intercooler and that's about it. Probably a change in pulley. Headers will be here Thursday so I"m hoping to throw those on then and put the rest of the car back together on Friday.

Old pics.. basically it's still the same. http://bucky.kicks-ass.net/home/garage/

Naa I'll be ok. Just taking my time on this one .

If my headers don't get here by Thursday, I'm going to be pissed.

Right now my car has no front bumper, no blower or lower intake manifold. This week will be fun gettings the junk back together.

You going over to play Nintendo?

I grabbed one from Mike earlier today. Been too lazy and tearing down my car to install it.

http://www.gamestop.com has some cheap shit. I saw a Guitar hero guitar for the 360 for like $30 bucks the other day. On the controllers, it's almost better to buy new. I have issues with one of mine where it randomly drifts off to the left and the 3 rechargable batteries I have don't charge
