Oddly enough I came across mine in a similar matter.welcome to the LGT owners club.drive safe.so I guess chock up another member.
Have fun in PI bro.see if you can dig up the non us badges for our cars.

 

uh...no stuttering on a 5mt///that i know of

edit...i was actually gonna go look at a satin white wagon at the beretania pflueger gmc or something like that..for the wifey

but we ended up spending a few hours at honda side of town looking at the 4door SI

i hope you got a killer deal on a 05...

 

Congrats! If you see a white LGT wagon in Hawaii Kai without paper plates.........that's me

 

The sensation is like there are one or two quick, but distinct moments of hesitation while moving up the RPM range between 2500 and 4000...sometimes right before I notice the turbo really spooling up, and sometimes after it gets going.

I am probably overstating how severe the feeling is, but is definitely noticeable. My sales-guy even admitted to feeling it. If this is how the engine is supposed to be, then I would have no issues living with it.

I paid much more for the car than I wanted to ($24K vs. $22K) but got a decent deal on the trade-in and can live with the financing. Just gotta work on the negotiation skills I guess and not go in REALLY wanting the car!


Hawaii_Pat,
Must be you I see in the mornings heading down Lunalilo Home Rd.

 

Yep, that's me.....asleep at the wheel.

 

no love for the leeward side of the island?

 

big, thats weird...i dunno i wouold say check for a boost leak or something...and change th oil...unless you know they changed it recently...

so when are we doing this meet?

 

rigos_gt,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm planning on bringing it up the next time I take the car in. I'm waiting to see if a minor scraping sound goes away. I'm thinking the pads and rotors need to be worked in a bit, but we will see.

You know, I remember reading about some sort of 'pause' during acceleration in the owners manual. Gotta go dig that up again.

Oil change is high on the 'to do' list. Along with a good paint restoration. I swear they must use scrub sponges and ajax to wash the cars.

Again, thanks for the help!

 

I did my oil change 2 week away from the dealer.took that stock crap oil out and replaced it.oil changes suck on these cars oil goes everywhere. I gotta take mine kn befor I do my exhaust.eve since I took it in for studdering my idel has been off.I donth want them to void my warrenty because of simple bolt on mods
