So you measured oil temp? Asking because I have the HD2 kit and had considered getting a cooler with a thermostat (winter temps can get below freezing).

 

I've actually been trying to get a quest or sienna as a 2nd car/for the wife. But she's the one who shot that idea down quickly. Lol. Might have another maxima joining us.

 

Well I have an aftermarket Mishimoto radiator and they don't make them for A/T. So I had to get a tranny cooler for the 4AT that is in my car right now. Most claim to cool by about 40 degrees over the stock set-up and that is probably about accurate. I would recommend them over the stock set-up only because you can put it right in front and get some really cool air. I think most transmission thermostats keep the fluid out of the cooler until about 160 degrees. I live in the south so really cold temperatures are not my problem. If you think you might need a thermostat for the cooler then get it. They aren't expensive and the install is simple. Most high end euro cars like BMW and such have them from the factory I believe. Hayden makes a good one and it is made in America

 

lol show her this..

 

Won't work because Honda...

 

Did they really add negative camber to a minivan or is that just the angle of the picture?

 

I've used Perma-cool cooler and thermostat and oil filter relocation on my turbo for engine oil...so yeah, hookup is not a concern or anything. I had just thought you originally said your cooler didn't do much better than stock.

 

Well it cant possibly cool it drastically because the capacity just isnt that big. I didnt measure the tranny oil temp after a drive before I switched though so I cant say for certain it cooled this much or didnt cool this much. I know for a fact it cools and keeps the temp in the right range because my tranny shifts like a champ

 

 

she a ricer for hatin honda

look at hondas at stock height, alot of their vans and suvs then come back to me

 

Essential and Hustle the 2 main characters of shottas...i'll be mad max

 

Did clashez actually come into this thread again with another fake SN? Again?

That's so sad. He had a chance long ago for people to take him seriously, but that ship sailed further away with every incomprehensible post. And now look at him. Friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless. Unemployed... in Greenland.

 

 

You know that cold that just won't go away? The one that keeps getting worse and worse, and then appears to go away, only to resurface a few days later, and keeps doing so? Clashez is like said cold, except he's more like a cancer...

 

Given his career choice, I'm thinking it's more like gonorrhoea.

So... is Gary Cooper banned now, too? WTF, man? What a tool.

 

Anyone want parts to do the full 3.5 swap in here? I got damn near a full set of extra parts I wont need minus the motor....

I know you want it for that 4th gen of yours manny...

 

So you say!

 

So what are you guys talking about in here?

 

Wow this guy must drive around all day like a fool hitting up hotspots.oan location trianglation becomes easier when there are more reference points.

 

Yes I say. Parts list of extras are;

Ecu
Cluster
Ignition cylinder with NATS
matching key
Gas pedal
Full dash harness
Main engine harness (minus the few sub harness)
Auto 3.5 flywheel

For the right price, I'll throw in the 6MT flywheel I have.

 

this is an example of what my baby can do but i have a older .458 model lets see how she does on a road trip

 

stop tempting me! dammit leggo my arm you crazy jamacian.stop twisting it dammit.its too much work for me to do...........

 

Sheeet.... For the ghustle crew, I would consider throwing in the motor too if we can work out a deal to ship this behemoth.

 

man im just too old to put that work in.i still havnt put the 03 back together and it has a motor in it with only 16k on the dial,right now it dont even have an interior in it i have been lazy.i'm going to get myself together and put it together for the baby girl she gets her license in 8 weeks.

 

Looks like another Clashez alias...

 

Looks like tomorrows word of the day is going to be "Intervention."

 

Pilots are more predictable and more forgiving at their limits of adhesion. I believe you will like them more than what you have on there now.

 

Looks like the moderators are going to be busy banning all of Clashez's alias names...

 

I have put to rest many a watermelon and groundhog at well over 800 yards a few gators and gar also.i have a vid somewhere of me taking out a skunk on the golf course @519 yards all it left was a gooey hole in the ground and a skid mark

 

Bidding ended at $60,200 and the reserve wasn't met...

Call me crazy, but I'd much rather have a monte carlo SS with a 350 in it.... and boost that bish...

 

So tempting. I would love to swap out my 3.0 De-k for a 3.5 if only the shipping was not so much!

 

very few people know about this car, bet almost nobody in here knows about, unless you are in your 30s...my brother had an 87 GN, what a beauty!

point proven

 

The GNX was an option package which was a one year only option in 87, the last year for the GN. Just a few under 550 were made, and the GNX package was done by McLaren.

From a collector/investment standpoint, the GNX hands down. If you want to find something cheaper to have fun with, then go with the Monte. It's the same chassis.

 

when i was growing up, my neighbor down the block was a car nut. he had a few GNs, and a beautiful 89 turbo trans am

my bros GN, asshat sold it

 

True, i'm 35 Younger gearheads would know about it.

I've always wanted a GN, but i could never get my hands on one. Bad timing when I didn't have the finances. I would find one affordable when I didn't have the money to get one, and when I did have the money I couldn't find one within my price range.

Alot of people buy them just to hold onto them for a little while and then they try to flip it. Or, they'll find a fixer-upper, but a few grand into it and keep it for a while and then try to sell it for what they put into it just to break even or lose money. The flip sellers don't budge on the price, but they will a little if you're going to pay cash, but I don't have 20+ grand in my bank account to do that.

 

I hope he kept the original wheels. The car loses quite a bit of value if not, because they're hard to find and sell for top dollar to find replacement wheels.

What did he sell it for?

 

Holy cow, I definately understand the production numbers and collectibility as
well as desirability. But not at that price. I've been in a GN and would be VERY happy there! You can find fantastic examples, restored for $10k all day long in East TN. There's at least 4-5 at about that price every year at the Rod Run and Grand Run in Pigeon Forge.

 

The GNX's are the ones that bring top dollar, especially if they're low mileage and in concours condition.

You can't find GN's here for 10K unless they need some work. 15K to 25K is what they go for depending on their condition and mileage. 20K is about the "average" going price.

 

I've also read where they're actually better coming aggressively out of the hole because they're slightly softer. So what minimal loss there is going sideways I'll get back shooting straight. At least, that's my bowl of BS and I'm going with it. LOL

But overall, I'm liking the idea of getting more than one season out of a $1000 set of tires.

I had both kids in the car last night, and was whipping around a series of traffic circles we have here. (Yeah, believe it or not, we have a stretch of highway that ends in 5 traffic circles.) Anyway, the 12 year old in the front seat was screaming at me and covering her face with her hands, while the 8 year old in the back seat was squealing in delight and telling me to "Do it again!"

Kids. So different.
