Yes my engine is SO much fun and addicting, but I dont know why i even take my car out when i am drenched from the heat on the way back home. (still 98 degrees here in az at 10 PM!) I am taking my time with the A/C system so thats not done for a few months.
Love the torque, but i think one of my Cv's is on its last life. I am getting a pretty good clunking noise that is exactly the pace of the spinning of the wheel at speed. About 20 mph all the way to ....well. 75 lets say. Its at the rear wheel, drivers side, sounds like on the outside inside the suspension arm where the cv bolts to the hub. What does an about to break CV joint sound like? |

keep driving it, you'll figure it out eventually is my old saying!
yeah a cv can be silent or near so and fail, can you lift the car and grab teh axles and wiggle them and feel how much back lash there is? there shoudl be very little back lash and no clunky noises. note there will be lots of end play (axles back and forth in line with axles) this is normal. also when it is up in the air, spin teh wheels by hand. listen, also put one wheel on the ground to prevnt it from turning, and spin the other while in gears, listen for tranny noises that are wierd. could be wheel weights rubbing on the brake backing plate, could be cv, tranny noises, bearing at wheel, etc... |
