So I'm not having any issues, yet (knock on wood) with my 95' celi gt but... yesterday I drove like 750 miles from Indiana to Connecticut in it. After letting it sit overnight, the engine sounds like a prop plane, much deeper than it ever had. It sounds like a tank when I accelerate! I changed the oil before I left, even put new front brakes in. I checked the fluids and the only one that looks a bit low is the engine coolant.
I'm concerned it wont make it for the return trip so I want to be sure that I can do anything I need to until I make that trip next week. Any suggestions? -------------------- |

I drove it today and it still didn't sound good. My friend whom I am staying with said he heard me pull up even though he was in the shower simply from the sound of the exhaust. Also, I went over a bump and it sounded like something hit on the ground! I'm going to check the exhaust pipes when I get back out there. The car just feels like it rides a little rougher too.
oh and the oil level was still topped off. This post has been edited by Terzin1: Oct 7, 2011 - 7:54 AM -------------------- |
