Hey guys, Gotta let my baby go. Some extenuating circumstances have forced the issue and I must sell the Buick. Mods listed in sig included. Car was stock when I bought it (down to the airbox!) and I literally JUST got done doin all the necessary steps before adding "go fast" parts...

Been wondering why i smelled burning oil when on the highway lately.... Looked under the hood a few times but never saw anything even slightly wet. A couple days ago I found out what it was... the oil inlet on the top of my turbo was slowly leaking oil onto the turbo / downpipe. As a...

Really don't know much about the mustang, cept that it had the 20th anniversary badges, blackouts (that makes em faster, right?) and it was LOUD. He flew up beside but didnt pass. I shook my head. I really wasn't interested in racing since I discovered my bad motor mount :( Well...

You guys inspired me to take on two of the most annoying issues with my car; the windshield wipers that were noisier than my open dump and my squeeky hood. After readin a few posts ... i simply flipped the windshield wipers over on their original arms. TAH DAH! Noiseless! Then i got out...

Point me in the right direction guys .... With your guidance I've done the preventative measures to build a faster "stock" GN. Check sig for examples. Motor mounts are goin in this week. I've priced havin a hydraulic roller 216/216 and a pocket port done on the car ($3500!!!! w.labor) and...

Well one of my best buds ignored my advice to get a GN and bought a Sti. I guess since he's younger he liked the ricer pocket rocket look. At any rate ... ever since he took delivery of his new car i KNOW he's been wonderin if it could take down my GN. He's ridden along with me on several...

Well tax returns on its way and outta that she says I'll be gettin a new turbo. I realize that's not the most effective next mod for me, but I'm not gonna say NO. :) I was thinkin a TA-60 or a TE-60. Should be big enough for me to "grow into" dontcha think? I want to avoid having to...

This problem happened on my 87 IROC as well ... the front bracket under the drivers seat broke. This isnt a missing bolt; the metal AROUND the bolt gave way. Had to weld my old one, but it was never straight. Any suggestions on where to find either a new genuine GN seat or a replacement for...

Well as it happens ... i FINALLY saw a really nice T Type today! Two tone gray, A Pillar gauges, fatty tires, atr duals ... the works! Passed me up with a big thumbs up and led the way through traffic. Could hear his turbo from 2 cars behind him! :D Caught a light with me behind him...

Well i've been enjoying my 3" THDP with dump til now. Not quite sure what CAT would work with the 3" DP. Any ideas? Is there a cheap one i can put on temporarily? Jus wanna avoid re-installing the stock d.p / cat.... Any web links would be appreciated! :D TIA (AGAIN)

Installed these with 5/16" spacers to clear the frame. For months they worked perfect; no rubbing, no nothing! Yesterday i was investigating a grinding noise while turning, so I jacked the GNs butt up and took off the rear wheels. Found the problem (time fer back brakes) and put the wheels...

Finally did the "spring cleaning" portion regarding cleaning my intercooler. I was kinda surprised to find a thick coating of oil on the inside of the uppipe and on the inlet and exit of the intercooler. U don't wanna know how dark the carb cleaner was that i poured outta the intercooler...

I'm posting this becuz i couldn't find any info on the subject when i was looking for help. I installed my flow kooler water pump a couple days ago and it went quite well. REALLY easy, even for a new guy like me. The order of operations was simple: Drain radiator Remove MAF hose /...

Anyone know what causes this? Seems like the linkage is loose on the trans, but iuno how to fix it, or wut normally goes wrong. Won't go into Park, thus not allowing me to turn key off, thus not allowing me to pull the key out, meaning if i park somewhere i must put it in Neutral, put on the...

Have a tooth broken off ring gear of rear end. Assuming pinion has one or more teeth broken as well. POSI seems fine. Do u reccomend paying the $6-700 for it to be rebuilt with new ring / pinion / bearrings or find a new unit? Are there upgrades for our rear ends? TIA

Heard some chatter when turning corners, so I drained all the rear diff oil. Couple Questions: 1st off; there was a thick head of foam on the top of the drained fluid. That normal? I didn't think it was. 2ndly; when I inspected the rear gear it looked beautiful! Nice and clean, shiny...

Just installed my AccuFab adj fpr. What is a good "baseline" fuel pressure to start from? ALSO... this new fpr is a bit taller than the stocker; the vacuum line is a lil kinked trying to reach the top. Is this a prob? Should I install a new piece a bit longer? As of now (going from...
