Traded my BROKEN Zero Turn Mower for a 86GT w/ 92k miles

[jwrape]

Had the same issue on the 85GT
Replaced the MAP and it improved

\D

Improved? as in didn't completly fix it? The MAP sensor is one of the last that I haven't replaced yet.

In my case, it could only improve (although drastically improved), as I also still have an issue with my throttle.
If you need one, I've got a spare, just for testing

I appreciate it, but since this is the last sensor I have left, I want to buy a new one and just replace it. I'll just grab one. Then I will have replaced all the sensors with new and they SHOULD be good for a while. LOL!

Well Monday I tinted my Taillights on the GT and the Sport.
I sanded with 800, the sprayed them with VHT NiteShades, then wet sanded with 1000 then spray MANY coats of clear until I ran out and then wet sanded with 2000 and compounded them out.

So, I get into the GT to go to lunch and the upper part of the seatbelt is locked and won't come loose.
What-in-tha-world.

Anyone know what's wrong with it?
Never worked on a seat belt. Kinda scared I might ruin my safety. I feel naked without wearing it. Not to mention the threat of a ticket.

You'll have to remove the "B" pillar cover to access the spring-loaded belt retractor. Had that problem once also and could not get it to release or retract again and wound up replacing the belt housing.
If yours is shot, let me know, I have a couple of spare driver's belts, but they are light grey, I assume yours is the dark grey, being an 86

\D

Yea, mine are dark but I am considering making them darker anyways. I like the dark gray in the interior but the lighter colors keep the interior looking old due to it grundgy look over the years of use so the lighter belt wouldn't be a problem. I will prolly come get one from you. I have a feeling the retainer spring broke inside or is worn because that top belt never wanted to stay tight across my chest. I always had to pull and reset it to tighten. I guess it got tired.
Let me know what you want for it. You live in Buford right?

[Donster]

Nothing and yes

[jwrape]

Crazy, I get into the car to leave work and it clicks and starts working again. I think i will still replace it shortly though cause it is still loose across my chest.

Properly adjusted the TV Cable on my transmission yesterday. Seems to be shifting really nicely lately.
It was shifting around 5k rpm's and now it shifts nicely at 4k rpms.

[jwrape]

WOW! I got a alignment......

Sunday, I lowered the rear end. Cut a coil off. Monday I cut a coil and half off the front. Monday afternoon I had it aligned. OMG! How much better this thing drives with a Laser alignment. The mechanic said ALL the bolts took breaker bars to get loose and were still hard to move.

Such a differnce. MUCH easier to drive now.

Here it is lowered now





Here you can see a previous pic with the wheel gap


Also now that the rear is lowered the rear wheels are flush with the fenders. Before they sat in. The A-Arms extended the wheels out perfectly.

Looking Good!  Will you be joining us for the Charity Car Show in Canton, Saturday, then down to the Galaxy for the meeting?

No, not this time either. I am still battling bills and really have nothing extra. Trying to save absolutely everything until I get back leveled out. I'll make another soon, just have to balance everything

[jwrape]

LOL! It's a private charity of Elbow grease. I have to fight for the time I get with my cars. I have a house full of women (wife, and 2 daughters) that are fighting for my attention.

[jwrape]

For some reason, the more I drive it daily the better looking it gets. I think cause the bugs are getting worked out and the little things are becoming nicer and funner to drive.
Got it aligned the other day and it made it MUCH more of a joy to drive
Here is the night I took my daughter out to the movies and Chinese.
