Yeah, even wanting 3.8 motor in there = fail. Seems so far like a lot of sound mods and not much else. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you're into. Just be realistic with what other mods you are gonna get. Or better yet, don't post 'em until you actually have them and/or have them on the car already, because lots of people come on here talking about what they are going to get and never do.

Oh, and what are breaklines? Some kind of line you break stuff across? Maybe you meant brake lines? And you only did the rear, why? Should do all four, especially since fronts do 80% of the braking (not breaking).

Correct. The LIMs do all the breaking in these cars.

well done you facking asholes you scared him away!

aiixon · 04-02-2010, 12:39 AM

by the way there is no such thing as 0 gauge wire. it is 1/0 (pronounced "one-ott")

Weman · 04-03-2010, 12:47 AM

You guys need to lay back I mean honestly I centered my post cuz I find it easyier to follow with the pictures, and I like my posts centered. It just looks right to me. Second of all its my car I ****in love my tan interior its so easy to keep clean. And my leather seats kick ass.

The space between the light and the bumper.. I know I'm workin on fixing that, I have a feeling my bezel was put in wrong.

The break lines came cheap. He only had the backs not the fronts. So I put em on, although u are correct the front breaks do may work work then the backs.

Nofr is a local car enthusiest club. And ur right about me spelling brake wrong, my apologies.

What else...

Oh yes the gage, acc u are correct it technically is 1 or 2 AWG but even on all my car audio forums we refer to it as 0 awg so I guess force of the habit?

westerndragon · 04-06-2010, 06:21 AM

900$ for replacement of LIM i hope that mech gave you a hummer when he was done. I could have someone replace mine 4 times on that $$

damn i didnt know that 1990 grand ams looked like that. (check your info dude).

guys, you really should lay off this guy. We have all been in this stage at one point. If you look back at my posts (back in 99 and 00) i was saying similar stuff.

I have to say though, a 3.8 is not the smartest idea. try doing some reaserch for better goals. might as well aspire for a LS4 (from a grand prix or impala).

chuckclose1 · 04-10-2010, 09:14 PM

so far so good

.

one question if u did the big 3 upgrade and power wire as u said, why do u have the old terminal still connected to the battery? what else is it connected to?

bobusboy · 04-12-2010, 10:13 AM

I wired my big 3 like this to the side bolt. but you wire the big 3 like this if i remember correctly,
Positive on battery----->to alternator
negative on battery---->ground
engine------>ground
