Welcome to the site psubrock!

The 3.1 I had in my 91 Z24 never gave me any major problems. And I had added some performance mods to it too. No Nos though.

A 60+ year old woman swapped the rims on her Monte, and also bought a Part Time Cruiser with a flame job? She sounds like she came from a family of car-nuts. My grandma was like that. Her last car had a 350 four barrel, and she believed in using them. LOL

Thanks for the comments guys.
Car is bone stock, I've got a pioneer Deh-3000 on its way since I am not going to deal with a tape deck. Thanks for pointing out the hood. I have no idea why it is different. I was reading alot of the muffler posts, I'm tempted to put one on but I'm going to weigh my options some more.
The bike 1990 Honda CB1, I bought it 4 years ago for $400 and restored it. It is only a 400cc but it is quick and will out corner newer sport bikes because of its size.

Okay, so I installed my new pioneer deck...awesome.
The drivers side mirror was busted, so I got one off of ebay and it was garbage. I had to take both mirrors apart and take the power mirror part out and put it in my nice mirror. When I took the door panel off I noticed it had aftermarket speakers :-) (couldn't see a brand), they didn't look high end but I am pleased with the sound. Fram air hog filter is on its way (I want a stock look). Also have a door lock actuator since the passenger door locks but doesn't unlock. Hopefully I'll take some pics tomorrow.

Okay I can't get the forum sig to work. I've pasted in every link from photo bucket and they all just show up as code. What am I doing wrong?

In the box for your sig in your profile page, you need to put

[img]your link here[/img]

use lower case [img] because for some reason, it won't work with capital letters [IMG].

Hope this helps.

Oh yeah... nice sig btw.

Thanks Taz, it is really picky about that img code, I tried it before but I used caps.

Well I definetly jinxed myself when in my opening statement I said "hope I don't deal with the intake issue soon".
I was driving it yesterday and the temp needle pegged out and I didn't have any hot air. So I check the coolant level, a little low ,filled it up, bleed the system, it went back down to a normal temp and was OK. So the next day (today) I take her out and the temp needle pegs again, get her home and check the rad cap and I lost a lot of coolant in only about 20 miles of driving.
Now you may ask, if I just bought the car why am I not taking it to where I bought it to have it fixed under warrenty? Well, the place I bought it from only has a 50/50 warrenty where they split parts and labor. So, I'm not going to pay them to fix a car they just sold me.
So she sits in the parking lot until next weekend. While I am doing this I am going to install the 180 degree thermo, and a new coolant sensor since that is cheap as well, and a new rad cap.
