The trans shifts hard after warming up i changed fluids and filter gonna do that again just in case the filter failed prematurely and also going to replace the shift solenoid as soon as possible
The engine intermittently stalls out for no reason the lights dim before it happens so i thought electrics and bought a new battery and replaced the alternator with a spare from a grand prix i had lying around, it also had a few vacuum lines that were missing so i capped them off for now till i see a diagram for it so i can replace as needed also i replaced the maf and it ran worse so i had the old one reinstalled it reads a code for low signal from maf or circuit A. (update) I solved the car stalling issue there was a vacuum leak from a small plastic T underneath the supercharger cone so i took out the plastic T and fabricated a adapter to make it run over the cone instead and used some rubber hose and now it runs fine and has yet to stall.
the rear 6x9s were blown from one of the previous owners amping them and messing with the wiring and failed to install a headphone jack kit, my neighbor took that out and undid what damage it did to the harnesses and now when the radio fuse is in it drains the battery sometimes and causes other electrical gremlins to surface such as gauges whacking out or the drivers mirror adjusting itself and coming off the rails or the windshield wipers to wipe funny also the stock amp takes a 30 amp fuse but it has a 40 in that spot instead, the stock radio does not have a functioning led screen either my cousin has a spare Bose sub for cars lying around hes going to give to me, im planning on taking the stock deck out and replacing it with a kenwood echelon sing single din with a 5 way amp to the stock speakers and a sealed box with that Bose woofer and a passive radiator installed by me, by hand.
the heated seats dont work the ac wont blow cold air and the gas door has that rust spot thats common also it needs control arms and suspension pieces (struts shock absorbers no bags) it has new tie rods in it tho.
it also had 2 of the spark plug boots that snapped off so i had new plugs and wires put in just some ac delco copper plugs and 7.5 wires, also needs some decent tires.
for 600$ it needs about 2k$ in repairs for it to get back up to spec, also come this march im having a rebuild done, my local machine shop will shave heads install double valve springs and punch the block install a cam and new crank with new pistons and rods all for 2K$ aswell with a smaller pully and a fresh tune i am looking at around 500 whp and ideally 400+ to the wheels with a torque converter delay installed for drag (forget the name of the actual part).(update) any suggestions on good pistons and valve springs aswell as rods and a crank would be welcome.
all in all im looking for suggestions in parts and ideas for this vehicle to be truly nice and unique. anything can help thanks in advance.
