Dumbest things you've heard a DSMer say? :)

"dude that's reverse..."

But yeah 6 gears, 5 forward gears...

True 5 forward and 1 back = technically is six different gears.
But it's still a five speed. I can't give him to much grief though, he doesn't know the difference between a lug nut and a spark plug

I know how that goes, it took a bit of convincing for my buddy why he should keep running an air filter in his car

"...what's an air filter do etc etc"

Holy sh1t, i haven't laughed that hard in awhile. Great find good sir!! I saw the thread when it first started but didn't follow it.

So this is a friend of a friend. I've never seen the car in person but he showed me pictures. Its a laser with a 4g63 for sure.

Him: Me and my dad built this car but we blew up the engine three times

Me: Why do you keep doing that?

Him: Well we are running the turbo and nitrous. The turbo kept making the engine blow up so we removed it.

Me: WTF Yeah that's probably it.

I didn't even want to get into it with him so i left the conversation at that.

 

[adrikunecke]

I was in the dumbest situation.

I saw a 1g turbo on the side of the road, and I had seen him a few times, so I pulled over and asked if I could see his engine (I enjoy looking what can I say, some are super clean). First off, I had to pop the hood for him because he didn't know where the lever was....wow.. Then I asked if he has ever upgraded his turbo, He looked at me, and seriously said " I have a turbo?"

I just walked away..

^^^^^ How is that dumb? Some people just aren't into cars.

Yeah , and I know. I get addicted to forums really fast :/. I've done at least like 30 hours of reading .

Fixed that for you.

Took me about 2 mins to figure it out, but now I get it, and I too had a forever-alone . Wonder how much HP those body kits add. I'm sure that spoiler that looks like its from a Cobalt SS adds about 25. I thought my spray painted car with truck bed paint was bad.

Never heard of a two valve per cylinder DOHC V8 either

So you've never heard of a 32 valve North Star?

*licks lips.

Those northstar motors are amazing. So much race-car power in a luxury vehicle. Doesn't make sense to me. Old people get the crazy powerful motors.

They are not the greatest, someone told me about a guy that put one in his talon.


Have you ever worked on a Cadillac with a Northstar? Guess not.... Take that giant thing and turn it sideways for front wheel drive = lame!

Only thing relatively cool about those is the ability to run 6 cylinders on the highway.

And I won't go there on how many quarts of oil it takes every oil change

There is nothing sporty or fast. Maybe on a fierro.

The Northstar V8 was a great engine that was built and used in the worst way possible. Design a 4.6L 32v V8 monster, then make it out of cheap aluminum and stick it in a boring FWD car. The El Dorado is the only "sporty" version and it still screams "I own a pawn shop".

It's still a monster of an engine though. I still remember my father asking the Cadillac tech "What do I have to buy in order for you to take off the governor?".

Caddys went from an object of desire to uncontrollable shit boxes if you ask me. Now that we have set up shop at the nuriburg (sp?) ring It will go from luxury to track times. Just like every other car company does.

That's why I love my Oldsmobile 160 HP is enough to pass and get you out of a dangerous situation. While the ride IMO is perfect for me.

I will throw in some of mine.

Me: what size injectors are in your car
Guy: 1 inch I think

I had a vehicle posted for trade once and got offered a 96 talon tsi fwd

Guy: I will trade you but I need boot
Me: how much
Guy: well I am asking 15,000 (yes FIFTEEN THOUSAND)
Me: uh ok so how much?
Guy: at least 12,000
Me: what's done to the car
Guy: well it's turbo
Me: what turbo?
Guy: it's stock, a pretty big one
Me: what bov?
Guy: what's that?
Me: no thanks not interested
Car was stock 7 bolt with body kit and rattle can paint job. He sent pix.

This wasn't a dsm nor did it happen to me but a friend shared this and I insist on sharing it further.

A buddy of his bought a 5 speed Dodge colt. He brought it to my buddy saying it was messing up. His story was that everytime he changes gears, it makes a loud woosh. He got laughed at pretty bad. The car had a huge aftermarket turbo kit.

While shifting gears in my gst a passenger asks if my car has an air shifter (he heard bov)

A guy I know told me since my gst was turbo, I needed to get a bov for it

Same guy advertised his n/t 91 celica for sale saying it had one

Again same guy told me if I crush my bov, it would be louder. He said the crush purpose just makes it louder, nothing else.

I actually had a 92 deville. Not a northstar, but very similar. The motor was humungous and sideways. I think the 3100 in my grand am was a tighter fit though. Had to jack up the car and take off a tire to change the plugs.

If it wasn't a Northstar it probably wasn't DOHC Either. You shouldn't have to have taken the tires off a 3100 (sfi or MFI?) W Body. Take front motor mounts loose, pull the motor forward.

Forgot About that motor. Doh!
It was an oil hore though. I much prefer the LS series in a Caddy.
Was the North Star DOHC?
