    New Shock opinions

    The other day I was out in the garage and out of boredom, removed one of the rear shocks off the GN. What shocked me (no pun intended) was that all 4 shocks on the car were the ORIGINALS! Of course the car only has 76K miles, but we're talking about almost twenty year old shocks. Anyway, I'm...

    Best way to lower a Gn an inch or so?

    I really want to drop my car about an inch or inch and a half all the way around and at the same time stiffen up the ride for better handling. I have free access to three wrecking yards and was curious as to what other cars have springs that may work for this. Also, I wouldn't be opposed to a...

    My old computer recently died and took with it all of my vids. I have found most of them but there is one I really liked that I can't find. It is set to a Led Zeppelin song (D'yer Maker I think) Any way it starts out with a GN spooling up with it's parking lights on and goes from there, does...

    Fun with Camaros

    The other night my wife and I went out for dinner and since it was nice we took the GN. Anyway, we were on a four-lnae highway cruising home and some high-school kids in a mid 90's V-6 Camaro rolled up and were staring (which of course makes me smile). We roll up to a series of 3 redlights, and...

    I just bought a new set of Caspers battery cables (very nice BTW), anyway I went to replace the negative cable and it was grounded to my turbo, and I'm not talking about to the bracket, someone actually took a bolt out of the exhaust side of the turbo and hooked the cable to it. :rolleyes...

    Need pistol opinions, Sig vs. Glock

    I have decided to get rid of my S&W .45 auto, and upgrade to either a Sig or Glock .45. I am also considering switching from a full-frame gun to a compact, for easier carry. I have had a Glock 19 for years and it has been a very good weapon, but I've heard lots of good things about the Sigs too...

    Turn signal lever, where to buy?

    I am about to replace my turn signal stalk because the lettering is worn off and the chrome is peeling, so I would like to replace it with a new GM part. Where is the best place to pick one up? Everytime look for one online they show a pic of the mechanism, which I don't need. Any part numbers?
