September 23, 200421 yr I just wanted to sing redlines praises. I put a bottle in the Roo and drove home from the parts store. When I pulled up in the driveway the car wasn't shaking like it was because of the rough idle. There was better throttle response and I actually kicked a 350z's tail in a little road racing. (the truth) He was not happy at all. Where can I get redline trany fluid? They had the additive and the oil but no tranny fluid. Please advise. I can't wait to do a $40.00 oil change. How long wil the Synth oil last?
September 23, 200421 yr www.summitracing.com A 350z huh? No 90 legacy with 232K miles is gonna beat a 350z. Sorry.
September 23, 200421 yr ....There was better throttle response and I actually kicked a 350z's tail in a little road racing. (the truth) He was not happy at all.Oh, and how hard was it snowing?
September 23, 200421 yr Author It was SI-2, there was no snow, and no joke either. You must think I whipped him from a dead stop. We all know that wouldn't happen. 90 MPH flying through traffic on US. 1 and I stomped him. It had just rained so I think he might have been hesitant to get up on the gas. Either way i won. Nuthin but the tail lights sucker! Hope he "enjoyed the ride."
September 23, 200421 yr If it's the same stuff I bought a month ago, one bottle treats something like 40 gallons! I used mine half a bottle at a time. Keith
September 23, 200421 yr Good one Ranger83...I hadn't thought of that. So you drive through puddles twice seeking damage and go 90 thru traffic in the rain. Brilliant...simply brilliant. I think I know why the eye of the hurricane hit your house. Something about Darwinism.
September 23, 200421 yr Author I drove thru the lake in my Roo because I knew it could and to piss off all the people that were staring at me and wondering why I could get thru it and not their volvo's or Nissans. It wasn't raining when I was racing, it had stopped. Big differencein FL, it dries up quickly. I also don't think the senior citizen behind the wheel had enough strength to push the car to it's limits. LOL Damn sowbirds. Just another old man making up for the lack of something by buying a sports car.
September 24, 200421 yr What auto parts stores carry the Redline injector cleaner? The local Pep Boys in this area carries it...$5.99 for a 15 oz. bottle i think. Ed
September 24, 200421 yr What auto parts stores carry the Redline injector cleaner? Any good one will. Out here in the bayarea you can get it at any of the different Monument Car parts. They carry all the flavors of Redline.
September 24, 200421 yr So you drive through puddles twice seeking damage and go 90 thru traffic in the rain. Brilliant...simply brilliant. LMAO. And that is the truth. He outta check out http://www.darwinawards.com and apply for it.
September 24, 200421 yr ejlain and slo5oh, Thanks for the responses, I found the SA-1 at Advance Auto Parts. Will give it a try at the next fill-up.
September 25, 200421 yr Author My car is pretty much dead in the driveway now. It was running great the other night and now it hesitates real bad and barely wants to operate under her own power. I was thinking it is the cat again, so I put my hand near the muffler tip and it is suuuuper hot. My wife said it felt like her feet were on fire the other day when we were taking a trip. Anybody want to chime in on this. All advice is greatly appreciated. I am either going to gut the cat ot just do away with it all together. Which ever is easier considering I don't have welding equipment and I am broke as a joke thanks to two hurricanes. The one that hit my house and the other aiming for it. Thanks god I have a jeep cherokee that I can depend on as well. I am going to do a post on this was well. Please feel free to answer it there.
September 29, 200421 yr Hi. Did you get a chance to do anything with your cat yet? Did you find the problem? Was this related to the RedLine you used? Just curious. - Ed
September 30, 200421 yr Author I did gut the cat...and let me tell you, DON'T! It sounds like someone welded a giant tin can in place of my cat. It actually acts as an echo chamber, but not of the good kind you would find on your dads 88 Chevy truck. I am talking about an echo chamber for what sounds like a rock polisher. It sounds like ARSE! And with the problem I am having with my car it only makes it worse. I think the engine is missing or something along that line. I have not had a chance to check that out yet due to the clean-up of hurricane Jeanne. I will let everyone know what I find out. HOW DO YOU BUY A CAT FOR THIS CAR? 2 pipes welded into the manifolds and one exiting.....hmmm. I might have to get an exhaust welder to work some serious magic on this thing.
October 1, 200421 yr Umm, go to a muffler shop? I've never heard of anyone replacing their own cats, but I'm sure people do it. Just make a few phone calls.
