MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

[motorheadmike]

At least when installing this gauge it didn't fight me.

'FML' - ?? Please pardon my ignorance :0

It's amazing how sht like this can fight us at times. One little thing is fine, but 5 little things, especially when random, almost seems like someone is messing with you.


What was the noise?

Freedom, Mobility, Liberty? Found my larynx? Feed me lard?

It's been a while since a car whooped me like this.

And the noise? Undetermined. Got my trunk monkey to bounce up and down in the car and we couldn't replicate it. Even I tried and it wouldn't manifest itself. Shrugging my shoulders for the moment.

I had a feeling the F didn't stand Fun, haha.

Dang that is busy under there. I'm extremely curious of how your intake temps look.

It's just a GT45 China boi. It'll be ok

Under which conditions? Extended idling, low/high speed driving, boost?

True, but there is no sticky white fence painted cage to slow me down.

Also, she's good to go again.

And I think I figured out the noise: there may be a large fender washer rattling around under the battery tray in the spare tire well. More to follow.

Around town, highway cruise and WOT full load?

Third version of the fender liners. The car decided it hates the plastic, now it can try to eat through steel.

Stabbed in the new polyurethane bump stops and then things snowballed...

That's where four cans got me (both sides). Guess I need a few more, eh? Ah well, it'll look fine covered in dust and grime at a distance of 100 feet at 100 km/h at night... and overcast... in the rain... and fog.

Does anyone else hear that screaming sound? I think Rktpwrd is having a nervous breakdown... someone better check on him.
