LSA Monte Carlo: First Test Drive After 3 Years! (It Might Blow Up)

What happens here

The creator gets into the car, securing himself with a Corbeau racing harness. He then showcases his 'Insight CTS' gauge cluster, noting that it sometimes shuts off. He also highlights the presence of an OBD port, unusual for a car of this age, due to the factory harness integration. He proceeds to drive, immediately noticing the car's speed and commenting on the loose steering due to what he believes is an incorrect spindle setup. He also mentions the boosted engine is currently running without a heat exchanger, which could lead to hot boost air.

Goal: Drive the car and observe its initial performance and handling

Tools and materials

  • Corbeau racing harness Corbeau — Securing the driver in the seat for safety
  • Custom-built car — The vehicle being driven and tested
  • Insight CTS gauge cluster Edge Products — Monitoring vehicle diagnostics and performance data
  • OBD port GM — Interface for the gauge cluster

What they say

so it's probably like very very empty right now but the closest gas station is only a couple miles away and this is my gauge cluster likes to shut off sometimes that's the only source of gauges i have it plugs into the obd hole down there and yeah when you use the factory harness you actually have an obd port which is pretty wild that i can like you can plug a gm mdi thingy into this and it thinks it's a 2009 silverado it's just it's just i think it's amusing so get their seat belts on here these seats were not in here when i got the car i put them in a long time ago they must have taken the seat out of this thing or something because my belts are all freaking screwed up and they're like pinched under the back of the seat but whatever we're just gonna go get gas there's no plate in this shifter so like you could throw it into park while you're moving it's kind of like a last minute thing when i put this together i didn't have a shifter for it so that's just kind of how it ended up this is a fast car i can already tell i mean i think we all knew that but like i was like spongebob big toe in the pedal and this thing would have just run away from my duramax without even trying i'm not gonna lay into it until we get the good gas in there because this thing is boosted and there is no uh heat exchanger on it right now so it's really cold outside which helps but it's gonna get it's gonna get hot like the air the boost air is gonna get hot i mean god i got to do something about this steering just typical the a bodies have a spindle that is not like the ball joint needs to be raised to correct the geometry on these things so because whenever you turn they just dump contact patch the ground very well
