very nice pacman, i'll be in n.m later this year, hopefully i can check out your car in person. also i was wondering how the tranny is holding up, i've read some recent stories of boosted gt's with trannies going out. and maybe you could pm me some info on your setup, prices and so forth. i'm looking to do a rebuild at years end. thanks

randy

[Pacman]

thanks everyone :)
i've had the rsm kit for about 5-6 months now and the tranny is holding up pretty well. i bought a tranny cooler so it lasts longer and keeps it cool. randy, at the time i bought the kit from rsm it was $3600 US. now the kit is $4000+ :eek: if you buy the kit for your 2.4, you will need to upgrade parts of the fueling system (fpr, injectors, pump, etc). buying the kit alone makes the car run lean. right now i'm still trying to fix the problem

[smooth 1269]

great, thanx for the info pacman. i'll be in touch with you when i head out to n.m.

[VanishingImage]

nice car,and how the hell you do the engine bay like that???? Ive been trying to make a custom air intake for my 2.4 and everytime a exhaust place says the bends will look crappy.

[Pacman]

vanishing, i supercharged it. the intake now contains a blow off valve and a V9 charger. if you want an intake, i have RKSport's short ram up for sale. i also have Casper's Fuel Pressure Regulator (both are for the 2.4L's). PM me an offer (anyone) if interested :thumbup2:

[99GrandAMSE]

Awesome sleeper ... I would never expected that under there :thumbup2:

[Pacman]

thanks. no one does. usually V6's and V8's laugh at me and don't want to go. it is great seeing the driver's expression afterwards though lol

... you'd definately 'suck' me into a race, but then again, I'll race almost anything :D ... only thing is though, if you beat me while driving the GA you owe me the opportunity to bring out 'another' car to give me the advantage ... hell, by the end of the night I have to win :wink4: :rofl2: ... great little car man!

my poor car can't beat em' all lol. thanks :)

edit: some of you have PM'd me about the parts under the hood. the link in my sig at the bottom should show you everything

[Artic]

Nice car gotta love the sleeper :)

[SOUTHERNGA]

Hey, nice car. I have a silver GA SE sedan as well. What kind of muffler do you have?

[3 DeeJay]

SWEET SE!! I hope to have some mods to my SE sometime in the near future!!

[Nate Dawg]

! That is one of the nicest 2.4L I've ever seen! What do you want for the short ram intake?!?! I'm looking for one myself. Wow!! I like your car man!!

[Pacman]

thanks for all the compliments guys :)

the muffler is Magnaflow's 14816
the air intake needs a filter and connector piece to the throttle body because the shop that installed my SC misplaced both :rolleyes: i'm not going there anymore. i posted it up in the for sale section if you wanna see pics :)

[SOUTHERNGA]

How does your exhaust sound? Got any sound files?

[Pacman]

i did have a sound clip of the exhaust a long time ago but it's lost somewhere on the internet now lol

i have a video of my supercharger though. you can kinda hear the muffler in the background. the whinning sound turns a lot of heads on the street. it also has a blow off valve, which makes everyone think it's turbo :)

here's the vid guys:

right click and save as
My SC Video (http://iceman.draepi.org/000_0009.mov)

edit: more vids coming soon

[Pacman]

for those that PM'd me the video is Quicktime (it's in .mov format) and i don't know how to change the format unfortunately :( sorry guys

[LargeFish]

:thumbup: Congrats on GAOTW! :thumbup: Saw this coming with your awesome ride.

why are you sorry? ... all they have to have is quicktime and it plays.

[Pacman]

thanks largefish. i havent seen the whole site and i didnt know that you guys had GAOTW. that's really cool
cradled, quicktime files are huge in file size and in most cases rare. most people want the files in .mpg format but i dont know how to convert it. it's all good though. if you guys dont have quicktime you might as well get it to save you in the future :D

Is that the Razzi spoiler? Was it a good fit or did you have to customize it to go? How high does it sit off of your trunk?

[Pacman]

yeah it's the razzi :)

the spoiler fits right on without any trouble at all. it is originally made for the alero but the GA has the same trunk. the spoiler comes up about 4-6 inches

I am assuming that you had to set new holes and fill in hte old?

[Pacman]

correct, it will not use the same holes as the factory spoiler. the holes for the razzi are more wide spread across the trunk. my SE didnt come with a spoiler so i never had to fill any holes in

[Toutsuu]

hehe your video... the whinning sounds funny, but it sounds really good when you rev it. what causes that whinning sound? there must be a wayt o muffle it because i've seen plenty of GTP's and they don't sound like that!

[StOcKGrAnNy03]

THAT'S GOT TO BE ONE OF THE NICEST SE'S I'VE SEEN...THAT SPOILER REALLY DOES A GOOD JOB OF GIVING IT A NICE PROFILE....GOOD JOB BRO' HAM!

[matts]

good looking car. especially the engine:D

[GO Grand Am]

what spoiler is it and where did you get it.. i really like it!!!



oops my bad i didnt see the 2nd page.. i got the info i needed thanks!!
