Welcome to the IHoP

Recommended Posts

Well, this week has sucked so far...first time I miss my 8am, of course we have a 50 point assignment that happened today. Get a 50/75 on a quiz for another, I'm really not sure why I got the grade I did, and the prof decides to take the rest of the week off and go golfing.

My limited slip differential is making clunking noises when I turn hard while accelerating ... Anyone know what would cause that ?

I checked the lubricant level and it's fine ... and it was drained and refilled a few months back, so it's new lube ...

Just one direction? Only under acceleration? Does it happen without turning if you are on/off the throttle? What kind of car?

Only under acceleration, both directions (left and right) ... Doesn't happen when I'm not turning and doesn't happen when I'm turning but not on the throttle. Car is an '87 Nissan 200SX.

Repetive clunk or just once when you turn?

Repetitive until I let off the gas or stop turning ...

Steve, I can't say I've driven many new cars lately, but I've heard good things about the Nissan Altima, Mazda 6, and Ford Fusion ...

Add some friction additive / modifier and it should go away.

i've taken a liking to the new Impala's. Either way you go, buy American.

Unfortunately I am sure there is a reason why there are a million '07 Impala's sitting on the lots. :(

I drove one today and it felt like a bunch of bulky plastic that didn't handle very well compared to the Accord I also drove.

There are not too many domestic vehicles I am looking at. Maybe a Grand Prix GXP ? They (GP, Impala) seem so cheap on the inside compared to others.

My livelihood depends on you buying American, so just do it.

I generally don't drive a lot of new cars, but I have driven a Ford Focus and I liked it. Then again I'm like a grandpa in a 22 year old body.

judging from some of your pics, that'd be 2 grandpas

:madrofl:

I have zero idea as to what car to buy.

Steve, I just bought me an '06 Pontiac G6, Its a damn nice car. The stock system is actually much better than i thought it would be. Pretty quick and gets pretty good gas mileage. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a newer car.

Sort of asinine to praise a cars stock system on here, perhaps you should be happy with other things on the car and like it for that since the stock electronics are going in the garage if you come here :(

What would I have to do to make a passive crossover for a sub.

The cost of the inductors alone would not make it worth it.

But in his application it is low power, cheap system, therefore a simple inductor is all he would need. The natural roll-off of the 4 should integrate fairly well with a cheap set of stereo subs.

They don't seem so cheap, it is GM's mantra. :( Build it to be the cheapest and we will sell boatloads. Only problem is that the Koreans do it cheaper than GM ever could so they are effed now.

Sounds bad, almost like it is poorly shimmed or worn to a point where it needs to be addressed. Is the fluid clean looking?
