    HELP My kid wants to skip college and go straight to the Air force

    I have a couple of things to add, first, if she wants to fly then I completly agree with Embry-Riddle. It is an awesome school with the ability to have alot of flight time first hand. After that is she just wants to be a pilot then she can do it, or join the Air Force. Second, you say she...

    Turbo to manifold gasket

    I have never used a gasket and have never had a problem. I just had my turbo off in the spring and like usual I hit the mating surface with a flat file and smear an ultra thin coat of high temp silicone and never leaks.

    Hose on turbo

    need a little more info or a picture would get answers quickly, i'm sure. I believe you are talking about the vacuum hose? It should come from the turbo to a Y fitting and from the Y to the boost selenoid and the wastegate. there are pictures on this site for it's layout, pretty important...

    E85, Is the price high around you, like here in S. Indiana?

    wow, wonder why it is so high here. It usually lower around the prices you guys mentioned. we just recently opened a second E85 station here in town and I thought that would help lower it, guess not. oh, and that price is the same as unleaded (87) here.

    E85, Is the price high around you, like here in S. Indiana?

    I was headed to the grocery after work today with the wife and daughter, when I looked up at the local E85 station sign......$3.58 a gallon! I had every intention of chipping my GN for E-85 later this summer, probably still will, but that sure made me take a double take. What is up with that? Is...

    Funny things said about your Buick.

    Yeah, I hear "nice monte carlo" almost everytime I take it out, I just got to the point now where I just say "Thanks" and drive on. The one thing that always baffles me is when someone is interested in looking at the car and learning about it, whether they know jack about cars or not, when I...

    vacuum line

    looks like the MAP line, isn't important at all unless you are logging or like the dash boost lights. So as above I would just replace with a new hose and ditch the plastic factory line.

    gbodyparts.com aluminum radiator

    I just bought one a week or 2 ago, Brian has such outstanding service it is insane, but I installed it in a day with no problems what so ever on my pretty much stock 87 GN. Everything hooked up exactly like it did from the factory, no bending of anything or grinding at all. Haven't got to drive...

    Pawn shops - observation and question

    I have thought the same thing the last few times I ever went to a pawn shop. I don't understand who buys this stuff and thinks they are getting a good deal. They are the same as used cars dealers to me, your stuff isn't worth a wood nickel, until they own it!

    Where to buy a new double-pumper setup?

    Sounds like we may have a couple more pump options soon, considering this one and the other post on the DW (i believe that is what it was) pump. I hope the vendors can pick up some of these pumps before spring, when I plan on installing a new pump.

    Vacuum leaks: should EGR solenoid and FPR hold vacuum?

    They both sound like they are toast, they should hold vacuum. The regulator I am almost sure should hold, the egr should for sure, one test for a bad egr is to push up on the diaphram and hold finger over vacuum inlet when you let go of diaphram, it should hold. there are vendors that sell...
