I finally put my GN back on the road after about a year and a half. I'd only been driving it rarely before I parked it, and for a very long time I'd had a "cough" occasionally under medium acceleration which looked like an entire electrical dropout. The dash gauges would drop to nothing when...

I just posted my ex-girlfriend's Toshiba laptop over on EBay http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6796592298 It's old, but I do include an ethernet card for it, it has Win98 and is all set up to browse the internet on dsl/cable. You could use it for running your scantool...

I went down to the beach for some sun today, and walking back toward where the GN was parked, I see a turbo Volvo passing where it was sitting and driving toward me. Inside, a nice little family, and the man driving? Looking at his wife, gesturing at the GN with both hands, then uses his hands...

Does anyone happen to know what the TPS calibration range is on a sc 3.8? I've got a 95 SC Bonneville, and when I get on it hard, it pings like hell at first. I'm going to check my TPS if I can figure out what the range is, and if that doesn't help, check my fuel pressure. Failing that, maybe...

My '87 transmission is, as far as I know, stock and never rebuilt. It's got almost 100k miles on it, but babied up until I bought it at 90ish. It's always shifted really nice and crisp. I changed to a 3000 stall converter and didn't do any hard driving for quite a long time, but when I have...

I'd just been out with the BC GNRA club at a club race day, Mission Raceway in British Columbia. I had a terrible day, shift linkage problems, blew off a vacuum line, and had a leaking header. A few of us decided to stop in Langley for some food and a beer before heading home. When we...

Right before I left Kansas to drive to Ye Olde Greate White North, I put on a brand new TE52, new injectors and the orange stripe. When I first put it in, it whupped up to 25-26 lbs in a shot, no problem. Dialed down to around 18 lbs or so. Drove 1200 miles to Saskatchewan, parked for 2+...

I thought this was kind of interesting - mostly because I didn't think I would see a Mustang on it. Without doing the math, one just assumes that in new cars, you pay a premium for horsepower - whic must be true in most cases, because the Mustang is certainly a standout on the list. Note -...

I have a little more oil leaking out the back of my tranny than I'm happy with. I was told it's easy to change the rear seal with no disassembly. Can anyone tell me of their experience with this? Any suggested sources for a seal? Canada if possible.

This was talked about a few weeks ago here. This is a pretty good FAQ list that explains how the proposal would work. Basically, participating mail systems would work so that the sender would "put up" some small amount of money as a bond, held by a third party, and when the recipient either...

Seems to me I saw a thread where a bunch of people were complaining of widespread problems with bad gas, maybe around the time of Bowling Green. Check this out: http://www.cbc.ca/story/business/national/2004/07/21/shellgas_040721.html It happened years ago, in Quebec, but it shows that...

http://www.emachineshop.com/faq/prices.htm If anyone has any ideas to send to try these guys out, you might float them by here to see if anyone is interested in joining you. If someone can do the design work and quantity is sufficient, some prices aren't bad.

There was just a post on mixing Xylene, and I almost posted under it. But I thought this deservced a topic of its own. What experience have members had with spraying different flammables? I have an SMC kit, and I'm finding the denatured alcohol is not as easily found here in Canada as it was...

If anyone has an active Carfax credit, can you check this Suzuki for me (don't ask.....) VIN: JS2RC41HX35212461

I was sitting at a stoplight next to a new Buick Park Avenue the other day, and was looking straight into the oval louvers on the fender. They were chrome, but I got thinking to myself that these would look pretty good in black on the back of the fender. Anyone seen this done...
