Taking car into First Texas for service
The past month or so I've been feeling a slight vibration from the engine as it revs up. Its one of those things that you aren't quite sure is really there but the more you dwell on it the more you are sure it wasn't always like that, even if it was.
So I was just about convinced it was all in my head til this week I definately feel it getting worse, especially when I tried revving her up in neutral a bit, much more pronounced when the driving action isn't masking some of it.
It seems to idle fine, not really rough or anything, no real unusual sounds, just when the rpm gets up a bit and changes rapidly it just feels like somethings off-balance.
So I'm gonna call First Texas in the morning and see when I can bring her in for a check up.
She hasn't been mistreated, no overrevs, no track time, no clutch drops, 10k miles and stock S02s still look good.
I hope its nothing too serious, or that I haven't made things any worse driving around trying to figure out if something was wrong. Could it be some valves out of adjustment and getting worse rather quickly?
Or fuel injector problems? Haven't seen much talk of injector problems but I had 3 go out in my T/A and it definately wasnt running very smooth since they weren't firing very well, cept it ran pretty poorly whereas the stook feels in good shape except that vibration just can't be good.

Thats good to hear, I looked through the posts from way back and saw some bad impressions of Trudy. She seemed ok on the phone, I'll be taking my car in Monday morning.
Hopefully its nothing too serious and poor stooky will be feeling fine in no time.
