Pay close attention to the quotations. They are a very operative part of this thread.



So, my GSL-SE, it runs great sounds pretty good and looks pretty good. Mild surface rust underneath with no wheel well rot or other issues. Has all panels and interior pieces. Has all exterior panels and lights/covers.(Replaced two so far and a piece of trim)



Problems:

-After running for 15 to 20 minutes it will not start up. Have to wait about an hour and a half or two before it will start again.



-At about 6 grand it runs a little bit rough. Accelerates fine and and smooth but you can feel a slight grind or bump in the accelerator peddle then and the front begins to shake at 7k.



-The cooling system builds air pressure even though I fill it up completely with fluids and after certain points it will dump it out of the overflow at a most rediculous amount... basically the entirety of everything in the radiator.



-Brakes are simple and I can take care of no problem.



-Suspension is a little rough on bumps and the back vibrates a bit on hard acceleration. I'll get to that when I have the $400 I am going to spend on a whole new setup(Shocks, struts, springs, bushings, sway bars, . In a few weeks I'll add that to this thread.



-Exhaust is actually pretty good. Just the end pipe after the cat is rusted off above the rear diff. I'm going to get an RB header and a Monza a muffler. That or order a whole Monza system with header from Blackdragon.



-I'm gonna replace the windshield wiper rack and motor since this one is pretty much siezed up. Also the rear wiper motor is dead. All rusted up. Gonna order a replacement from Blackdragon.



Now other than that I think everything is pretty well set and good to go.



Any thoughts?

I do. Be very careful. You may have a shot motor... The car not starting when warm could be that you are really close to the mechanical wear limit of the motor. You may want to rebiuld before you throw a apex seal... DO NOT GET MONZA!!!!!!! I had monza gear for a while. tossed it, waste of money. RB all the way. Check your fuel pump, you may be leaning out at the top end. The radiator thing is really bad. It needs to be overhauled. Basically you have a BIG project on your hands.... Cheers.

Well I've got a rebuilt motor to go in it now. Two weeks. Can't wait! New radiator so I know that's not the problem. It's probably blown coolant seals forcing air into the cooling system. I've got some money to spend thanks to the great price I've got on the motor(local) so yea, I'm going to go to RB for my suspension and exhaust. Thanks.
