^^ Run donuts in the back, cheap and easy. If you have a built rear suspension then forklift or skyjack tires work well too.

Now should I keep the spindles from my sunfire I have personally never ran a sunfire but if the spindles are steel run them, if aluminum def switch them out with steel ones from a cavi if you can or another donor of choice. Good luck and let us know how you work it out. 👍

I have a 90 grand am 2 door does anyone have any tips for these? It's been almost 20 yrs since I built one and it was just a door weld and hood & trunk wired wired (easy build rules then) But I would build like a 90'-94' lumina.

i have a 2002 oldsmobile alero with the 2.4L im having a terrible time getting my car running post derby, i have spark, i have fuel, and assuming air. when i crank the engine i get like whitish almost grey smoke coming from my header and ill get a quick fire up and the engine basically shuts down and blows a bit of white smoke out my air intake. any ideas, i checked vacuum lines, plugs, big coil pack on top, tps, cps, map sensor, grounds, and oil level is good ( they dont like low oil). any other things to check? or should i just call it quits and scrap it?
