I got the gn out again today. I think that makes 3 times so far this year :rolleyes;
anyways... I drove it to work this morning, went for a ride inbetween a 3 hour break. It was nice to go for a nice little ride all by my lonesome.
My power antenna is broke. The teflon thingy that pushes the mast up and down is probably busted. I have a new one. I'll fix it this winter.
so no tunes, and I didn't have any cd's with me. So basically just listened to the car the whole time. Which I think is a good thing to do occasionally.
Nice and quiet, except for the rear-end noise I never had until I installed the energy poly body bushings.
Its not really noticeable if the windows are down, or the radio is on. But the more I drove today, the more it aggrivated me. :club:
Its kind-of like a "rolling" noise from the rear. doesn't sound wrong. It just sounds like a noise I'd expect to hear from a caged tubbed out car with its carpet removed... rolling down the road, but kinda quieter.
So I think I'm going to go back to regular'ol rubber bushings this winter.
I love the way the car handles though, and i've never experianced the rattles and such that some have reported.
Just one of those things, I guess.
By adding the #5 bushing that wasn't there before I installed it with the energy poly kit.... I'm wondering how much effect that is adding with noise transfer?
Oh well. With my car being as clean as it is, its a pretty easy job changing the body bushings. The most aggrivating part is removing the front and rear bumpers.
I don't have a point or a question here.
just kinda talking out loud. I hope everybody's doing good.
I haven't been posting much lately :icon_neutral:
I didn't make bowling green this year. Wish I coulda made it.
anybody that was there have anything worthwhile mentioning?
-
and its amazing the things that come around when I roll the gn outta the garage.
I don't mind it much.
Its the price we have to pay for driving the most bad-ass cars on the road :chin:

thata be TR Custom Parts that did that for me.
Glad I bought spares, cuz I don't think he's allowed to sell them anymore :(
-
At my age, I have learned it's easy to find one
-
I have those same center caps on my T rims. Looks like the rear end has been worked recently
-
Scoob gets all the hot women. :)
-
That doesn't look like Velma or Daphne.
-
If you want to change out the bushings, I'll take them Aaron. :D And yes, the chickas are hot. :rock:
-
their yours charlie. no charge.
btw, the deal with getting rid of that esp alum rear cover never ended up materializing so I guess I spoke to soon on that one.
I may not get to swapping the bushings out till dec or jan.
They may have a whole 400 or so miles on them.
but I don't wanna hear no complainin about the noise :sw: lol!

I'll pay the shipping at least Aaron. :D My frame is boxed and a lot more mods, but I'm more interested in getting it to the 10's than road noise. :O This is a long term build that's been revised more times than you want to know. :icon_fU: Time isn't a factor since I've taken this long and still haven't finished her. :cheers:

What did you have to do to get her to pose thusly? - cheeks look a tad red. :icon_butt:

I think its time for some more buicks and babe pics :102:
-
gonna be Feb or March before I switch them out charlie.
I've been taking a break from working on the gn.
and that does feel nice
-
Not a problem Aaron. I'm about to change jobs so I can make more but won't have much free time so whenever you get around to it. :cheers:
-
congrats on the new job! :rock:
-
too goth for me...
I guess it would depend where on your body she leaves her lipstick.
Just don't tell the girls on "the team". :D
-
cheeks look a tad red
I was thinking she had some diaper rash. Oh, and SteveWood, ur ghey, "too goth"?, sheesh.
Run for cover here comes another trainwreck. Lol
-
that chick had teen age vampire written all over her. I bet she had been dead for two hundred years and was looking for a fresh drink from the expression on her face.
Definitely hella goth-be she lisps with a german accent when she is trying to hide her teeth.
-
C'mon, and you wouldn't quench her thirst? I'd say it would be worth the risk.
Sylvans german, let's pass this by him.
-
Nah...better fish in the sea that don't have gummed up faces and a dark personality. I want the sun to shine down on me as I deserve....
-
never let your standards get in the way of a good time, Steve!!! :rock: :D
I can say for sure in this particular case that dark lip stick doesn't make a chick a goth, or a vampire, but I certainly can see why one might make the assumption :chin:
charlie I can't remember if I ever followed up with you. did you receive the bushings? I know I sent them out awhile back.
-
LOL I got them Aaron. Missed you on the boards. Just need some time to swap frames and get the bushings in now. :cheers:
-
well hurry up charlie!!!
get that car done!!!
ain't any of us getting any younger :sw:
