Help! 1997 GT whining noise at startup.

Blown 97 GT · January 5th, 2009, 02:39 PM

Ok, I own a FRPP SVO supercharged 97 gt 5-speed. When i start the car whether i'm in gear or neutral, there is a whining noise that sounds like its coming from somewhere in the drivers side dash. (Behind gauges etc.) It only lasts about 15-30 seconds but just wondering if anyone knows what this could be? Thanks for any help!

It's a whine, not a chattering. Can't really tell anything else exept that it only lasts 30 seconds or less...

I like it alot. It was actually on the car when i got it, so i'm not sure what they cost. I know FRPP doesn't make them anymore and it is hard to find alot of info on them...

97S281 · January 7th, 2009, 05:23 PM

Sweet. If you ever decide to get rid of it let me know, I live in NC too. I am going to try to find one for sale somewhere. I keep checking around but haven't had much luck. I just got the svo heads today. They have less than 500 miles on them and I stole them for $650!!!!
