    Badges While my car may have started out as a V6 it no longer is, but as for putting GT badge on it I havn't and won't, its not about the little badges on the side of the car its about whats under the hood, so F-um you bought it you own it, do what YOU want and let the rest of the world kiss...

    car running too hot

    Have you checked the circuit breaker at the fan connection? I changed mine while seaching out one of the many reasons mine was over heating a few weeks back. It was starting to go (contacts melting through) It helped by bringing the fan on consistantly every time. Since you've got a new rad &...

    PRICE MY CAR PLEASE!!!!

    Hate to tell you this but your add on's are only worth $$$ to you, somebody buying your car will look at the average price index in the blue book and go by it. Unless you find a car guy who knows what he's looking at.

    Car runs hot, dont know why.

    Check your rad The Aluminum & Plastic stock rads can become plugged overtime. The chemicals in the anti-freeze break down the aluminum which will in turn drop out and block off sections of the rad, thus leaving enough flow to keep the car from boiling over but not enough to cool it right. I...

    Overheat and pony lackin power

    Fan relay! Well we think my over heat issues may be caused by the fan relay, this was a recall item, and then a recall on the recalls. Took mine off this morning and it looked like it was melting out on the back side. This causes the fan to not come on all the time. Hopefully thats it.

    vortech supercharger-used. a few Q's

    Sounds fishy! Maybe its just me but anytime I hear the words "selling for a friend" it sets off my internal alarm bells! 1) He doesn't own it, so getting a reciept from him is useless. 2) Since its already apart your buying it blind. 3) The price is low, so standard line if it looks to good to...
