lots of noob questions
Sunday, September 04, 2005 11:13 AM
ive been searching this board for days just looking around here are questions i have.

first of all its a 96 sunfire gt

what are some free mods (performance) ??

is there a fuse for the wipers only? (i have the wiper problem where they park in middle of window and would like to stop them from working until rain is expected they park when i turn the car on and i dont want to change the motor right now)

on the sideskirts that go on the bottom of the door my one is loose are there clips that i can buy to relock the bottom of it in?


thanks in advance if you reply

Yes, there is a wiper fuse, however:

Ok, I didn't see this question the first time through. Here are some low cost mods that may work for the GT. I know that the orig poster has a Cavi on the thread I referenced to, but the thread may point you in the right direction.

thanks for showing me this i read it a few days ago and totally forgot about the delay and if that works fine then turn them off its the trans only thing that throws me off is what exactly i will have to be looking for since theres not any pictures describing but i guess i could always look while i have somone turn them on and off and check it out.

the intake i already have planned to do and catback but i havent accually recived the car yet i get it tuesday so i havent looked under the back to see what im working with it will be i want to use same tips and dont want the import sound.

also pulleys do they really do anything noticible for performance? on a 4cyl.

sorry for the dumb questions im from the v8 carb's world.

pulleys make a differnce. a lightened crank pulley (but stock size) will help in faster revs and a gain in higher RPM range

there is not much you can do that is free far as performance goes. here are some tips. ignore number 2 in the ALL Jbody section, its called Relocating Your IAT Sensor. this adds no power and it can really mess up your engine in the long run

hey thanks for the reply that site didnt work btw.. so the pulley works like getting a lightweight driveshaft it just frees up power that is lost.


also in the fuse box will it say wiper or do i have to find it myself and is that all it does?? my car has a fusebox and i cant read them so im just checking
