amistydj 74 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 hello All It's been a few years, my last visit to this forum was 4 yrs ago, I owned a 95 vert then I got myself another convertible, very clean one...I've had it for about 2yrs now This one is a 93, super clean no rust at all compared to my 95 I had, elderly couple owned and as much as I hate the LQ1 engines, I think its the car good looks that keeps drawing me closer to them how I wish we could fit a trusty V8 iron in these cars I haven't done much to this car at all, compared to my previous 95 where (George from the forum here) and I did some work on our cars few years ago I did however modify the stock air box to improve flow, I took out the driver side high beam out and shaved off a few inches off the air box to align it closer to the high beam hole, car looked like it was missing a tooth so I took the other high beam out, which im hoping should help engine heat feel a bit more warmer 3 jiggity76, K&R and rich_e777 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jiggity76 1,250 2 Vehicles Report post Posted December 1, 2019 Beautiful! I for one absolutely love the LQ1's so far. I have two of them and enjoying every second of working on not only the motors but the cars themselves. I hope we can change your opinion on the LQ1 but if not, no harm. Again, she's a beauty! 1 Psych0matt reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amistydj 74 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 She’s a real beauty.. I love the turquoise color a lot I don’t mind working on LQ1s.... is the fact that I have a few vintage projects( 69 olds, 70 opel, 77 pontiac, 85 camaro. Sold my 65 and 67 t-birds, 64 olds, 50 packard and 70 pontiac) and after working on these iron brutes I loose love for the LQ1s well she needs a new ICM or fuel pump... im having hard starts now and the ICM is a b**ch to get to 1 jiggity76 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jiggity76 1,250 2 Vehicles Report post Posted December 1, 2019 Understandable. You have a nice collection for sure. I also have to do the fuel pumps on both of my W's so I know what you mean. But...I love working on them so it won't be that bad. Good luck, we all look forward in seeing your progress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
