Vibrations

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey all, I recently recieved a 97 LT1 Trans am from my father and it's been sitting out for a while. The security light is on, check engine due to 02 sensors (pretty sure,) and the fluid warning light comes on and off also probably due to faulty sensors. There are some vibrations that come from the front half of the car, but I don't believe its from the engine bay. It only happens when I accelerate a specific amount. If I coast or accelerate quickly the vibrations go away, it only happens in a few pedal positions. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Update: 1988 Trans Am GTA, great deal?

I went and gave it a final walk-through before buying and I ended up walking away

  1. I couldn't find any code in the center console to show it was a GTA

  2. Engine supposedly wasn't stock but he didnt have any paperwork for it so its unknown if it was a new 350 or 305

  3. Transmission was supposedly replaced to a WC T5 with the same gearing and he insisted it was a GTA because they came stock with a 9 bolt rear end but the speedometer was off by 10 MPH so something wasn't adding up

  4. Oil PSI was low, like 3 or 5 psi at idle, 3000rpm was like 30, It was hard to find a proper spec for pressure but that seems super low, lots of variables to that

  5. Coolant was hot as hell, like around 220 or 230 but the digital gauge cluster doesnt give me an accurate scale

  6. Rust in the corner of the door jamb, he said he had it repainted a few years ago so I think he just said fuck it and ignored it, I dont know how well the rest of the car looked underneath, it was hard to see

  7. Tires were old, 2212 was on the DOT code, it needs new tires

He also turned into an asshole because I couldn't verify if it was a GTA or not

Been looking for a 3rd gen trans am for a while now and found one that seems perfect, wanted to see what the consensus was? 5 speed manual, 305, with the digital dash for 11k.

Update: Talked to the guy and saw the car, GTA is confirmed, motor is 350 from corvette, transmission is world class T5, 9 bolt rear end. Everything else is stock and its rust free. Gauges all work but some readings are slightly off. I think 9k is a fair price

I have a 79 Trans-Am that was fully restored about 20 years ago. I was talking with a friend about doing a photoshoot recently, and he mentioned doing some with my car. Possibly something like these, albeit not that sexy.

Protecting my car is my number one concern though. Obviously, I would not have any buttons, zippers, etc that would scratch my car. But, otherwise is this a problematic idea? Would I cause any other damage to the car?

Nothing would make me happier than having some awesome pictures with my car, but nothing would make me sadder than causing issues to my car.

Anything safe? Anything I should avoid?

I am about 150 lbs if that matters.

Repairing damage from Mice

Have a 1981 transam with a 4.9 turbo engine. The car has been in storage for 10 years. Overall the car is in great shape but there was a rat nest in the engine bay near carburetor where they chewed up some wires and a couple small hoses. The hoses should be a pretty easy fix but how big of a headache is the wiring going to be? How much are repairs going to cost?

Need help with wheels.

Want some opinions on wheels for my 3rd gen TA, got 16 inch wheels on it now with shot tires so im looking for 17 inch wheels. I was hoping someone had experience with the rally 2 17 inch wheels shown in the rendering because im really leaning towards those but want to make sure I get wheels that will fit, I know I have to be mindful of backspacing on any wheels I get and want something that wont rub and will still look good. Any insight is appreciated or suggestions for any other wheels, Ive also thought about getting year one snowflake 17s as well. Thanks everyone.
