1989 Pontiac Sunbird GTAbout This Vehicle:
Well, right now it leaks oil because of this ingenious "wrap-around-the-crankshaft" oil pump design (the repair sleve didn't work) and I've got to replace a gasket under the timing belt to get rid of the seeping coolant, the paint is lousy, the rear window is splintering from age, the front clip is the wrong color , but DAMN is it fast. Body Style: Convertible
Color: Dark Red
Engine: 2.0L I4 SOHC Turbo
Transmission: Automatic
Interior: Grey Metrix
Purchase Date: July 2001
Purchased From: Sleaze-O Brooklyn Hoser Motor Corp Of Cropsey Ave
MODIFICATIONS
Engine:- New bearings and gaskets... no more rod knock. Replaced a timing belt
- snapped it
- and replaced it again.
Suspension/Wheels/Brakes:- Replaced high-tech turbo 14" rims with Grand Am 16" rims... they really fill out the wheels wells.
Interior:- Lear-Seigler air bladder seats from a Grand Am
- Sharky.
Exterior:- Lousy Paint job on pasenger door/fender and header panel
- Front clip is dark grey because the original one was crunchy.
Audio:- Tossed the boken ARC system cassette deck for the ARC CD player from my old Sunbird
Future:- Some bodywork on the lousy painted areas
- replace some of the tired suspension
- finish working on the replacement engine (machined block to 30 over new crank starter oil pump turbo unit and some other things)
- would be nice to fix the a/c
