In Tokyo. hehe :D


I live in Calgary but am in Tokyo on business right now. I don't drive a GA but I drive an Alero which is pretty much the same car. Done a ton of engine mods and hopefully will get it to the Dyno once I get back to Cowtown.

Saved Heads
Port N Polish
Performance Gasket
Ported upper & Lower
Ported TB (still waiting for my larger one from APofC)
MAF from a Vette
TOG Headers
Borla Exhaust
Better wires
better plugs
tranny cooler
better tanny fluid

Coming next will be either a 150shot of NOS or the Supercharger -- I haven't decided and I could use a tranny and lower end rebuild around the same time. Gaaaa more $$$$ into the car... but I think it is worth it -- I've got myself one hell of a **** eater.

I'm here, put just haven't posted a heck of a lot lately. I have a mishap with my car and hit the curb a while back, cost me 1400 to fix, and I still have a ****ty looking scraped up rim on. So I haven't been feeling that great about the car lately. So many problems and it is only 2 years old. I thought about selling it and getting something else, but I think I'm in to deep now. I may as well ride it out until it is paid off. I just hope my lucks turns around soon.

damn sorry to hear that, that really sucks.
where is the rest of the edmonton crew? cujo was an avid poster, and the most modded GA in edmonton, and hes no where to be seen in a while now.

[Treviathon]

Not sure, all i know is when he got that new job, I have rarely ever seen him or talked to him, haven't even seen him on the boards in a while.

Trev Sorry to Hear about the GA What Kind of Problems are you having Hitting the Curb Can't be Blamed on the Car. Nice to see the Edmonton Boyz Still Around:p

[Treviathon]

To name a few of my problems:

1. Lower Intake Gasket/Manifold Replaced; warranty
2. Power Steering Pump/Hoses Replaced; warranty
3. Passenger Door Ribs caught in door jamb one day when opened and bent to heck; warranty
4. Rotors Re-Surfaced/and probably soon to be replaced
5. Reverse Lights have water in them; warranty
6. Seatbelt Senser keeps malfunctioning even after being to the dealer twice for it; warranty
7. Torque Converter wire loose, causing hard shifts; warranty
8. Mirrors Fading; warranty (by now, sick of going to dealer every month)
9. Windows getting really deep scratches; warranty (don't want to lose tint though)
10. When I had the monsoon head unit, the volume knob was whacky and turned up when I turned it down sometimes; took it out and put an aftermarket head unit in
11. Leather on shifter is crap; warranty (but once not done, because I am sick of bringing car into the dealer)


It dissapoints me because I paid good money for a new car fully expecting to not have any major problems for quite some time. I surely didn't expect to have nearly as many problems as I did.

And I can't help but think that if the rotors/pads were a bit better I would have been able to avoid a few fender benders (I know it is mostly my fault, but I swear to god, when I had my first car, my 1982 Oldsmobile Delta 88, the brakes were better)

So I honestly don't know if I can buy another Grand AM in the future.. but we will see.
