    Current market for TRs?

    Anybody know what the market has been like lately for our cars? I'm in MA, have an 87 TR with around 180k on it, runs strong but pretty stock that I'm not really driving. Guy just knocked on my parents' door (where the car is) with an offer of 4500. Paint is recent but starting to rot in the...

    1995-99 Riviera-Anybody got experience?

    Hey, I'm looking at a highway/winter car to take some of the abuse off of my TR, and came across these and think they might fit the bill. Anybody have/had one? I want reliable, comfortable, and decent on gas (non-SUV consumption). I figured I'd look at the Rivs and even the Olds Aurora. The...

    Higher mileage parts car/parts value?

    (Also posted on another board- so if you've already chimed in no need to reply twice-thx for your input) Just saw an 87 solid roof TR with front end damage-junk fenders and hood. Hi mileage, pretty sure north of 200k. Second owner, owned and daily driven for 18 years. Car started on the...

    Rear brake wheel cylinder play

    Simultaneously posted in Tech, but thought there might be few gurus in here that might help. Hey, hope somebody can help me out. My rear brakes started pouring fluid out, and had the rear cylinder sitting there in pieces. Got everything apart and buttoned back up, and it seems the cylinder...

    Rear brake wheel cylinder play

    Hey, hope somebody can help me out. My rear brakes started pouring fluid out, and had the rear cylinder sitting there in pieces. Got everything apart and buttoned back up, and it seems the cylinder is loose and has some play. I'm guessing that since it is only that stupid clip that holds it...

    My tr has a friend (or competition)

    Just bought a buddy, or some competition for my affection and disposable income, for my TR. Picked up my '04 Harley Davidson Road King Classic on Saturday. Not bad for a first bike. Black (of course), which really makes the chrome on it look good. I can't wait to get out there and start...

    harley road king classic and general HD questions

    Tried posting this earlier but it timed out or something. Anyway, 3rd attempt-apologies if the earlier ones show up too. I'm thinking about getting a Harley, and went to my cousin, who's been riding since he could walk, for some advice. Now I'm coming to the board for a second opinion on...

    PS2 racing games

    Hey, can anybody recommend a good racer for the PS2? Don't care about the latest and greatest, but would like to find a game where you can build up your cars, track your progress (through cooler cars, money earned, etc...) and be casual enough that you don't have to play it for like an hour to...

    What would the "Dicarlo option" TR look like?

    The mirror light discussion got me thinking-what would our cars be like if Red Regal had had his hands on the other GM goodies when they were building them? I'm guessing lighted mirror, stay down license plate holder, leather seats, Cutlass frame braces, roadmaster armrest, and of course...

    Can I pass Mass emissions w/o cat?

    Car has stock injectors, turbo, IC, and 170k. Gutted cat, 160 stat, aftermarket duals (not sure whose) and Joe Lubrant street chip. I don't have any of the parts to go back to stock. Can I pass, and if so what do I need to do? If not, what is the absolute minimum I can do to get her to pass...

    Gateway computers

    Does anybody have any experience with the quality/customer service of recent Gateway laptops? I'm thinking about buying one of their lower end products, but don't want to throw cash down for a mickey moused system. Thanks

    4.3 Fuel injected Monte

    I seem to remember a post saying that these had some of the similar parts to our cars. Was I dreaming or is there anything useful off of one of these that I should be looking for? BTW, found a great set of seats I could put in, right color and everything, except that some nimrod broke the front...

    Good GTO forum?

    My brother's jealous of all the info and deals I get off of this site, and wants to find a similar one for his GTO. Any suggestions? He's got a 65, just like the song (3 deuces and a 4 speed, and a 389). Still doesn't want to run against me though, and I'm mostly stock.

    Almost lost to a SHO!

    Well, yeah, it needs to be explained. I never get any stoplight races in my T, so I've pretty much stopped looking, but I was stopped a little bit past the stop line, having slid past on the wet pavement when yellow turned to red quickly. I saw the front of a car next to my door, saw that it was...
