Good points joegr. I've decided to keep it and get it fixed. It may just have to sit for a little while. Is this mechanics estimate of $1,300 good though? How much are these parts? He said it would be about 16 hours labor...
The noise has actually been there since the salvage engine was put in...
If I sold the LS and my grand am....yeah. And there's always the option of financing.
It's also a matter of not wanting to put anymore money into this car...my LS has been through some **** and I don't think anyone here would even want it if they knew. Even though it's all been fixed so far the...
Mechanic called me earlier about the issue. He isn't 100% sure but thinks it is the timing chain. Quoted me 1300 to replace it. What should I do? What will happen if I keep driving it without fixing it if it is the timing chain? It doesn't seem to be effecting the way the car drives at all.
Forgot to mention that codes P0132 and P0402 have shown up recently. Considering my knowledge of engines and cars in general I will probably just get it checked out by a mechanic.
Can anyone tell me what this noise would be? You can hear it best at idle rpm. Seems to go away at higher rpms.

I'll try that with the satin finish. And yeah I decided against blacking out the headlights for now. I may try it with some plasti dip since I can just peel it off if I don't like it. I did do the tail lights the other day which I do like.
Since I put the tint on my windows about a week ago...
The "Charcoal Grey" is growing on me a bit....especially now with black wheels. I just always wanted a black one with black leather interior. I am happy that mine doesn't have the wood grain interior though...not really a fan of that.
I ordered one of those 3M eraser wheels on amazon with 1...
zrxinch I was sitting in a chair so I pushed myself back with my foot to take the picture. Don't worry though...the shoes were literally brand new and my car needed washed anyways due to birds loving to **** on my car.
Here's a before and after the plasti dip.

After...
^^ My first 2002 LS that had loads of problems. I didn't have it long but it made me love the LS enough to buy another just a couple months ago.
^^ Some awful pictures of my current LS. Not near as nice of an LS as a lot of the ones I see on here but it runs good and looks decent I...
Having the same issue with my 03 ls. Had my cat converters checked and they weren't clogged. Smell has been there before and after an engine swap though.
