    I'll let you audio experts fight this out

    Been working on my stereo upgrade, and in doing so have gotten some advice here and also friends and at the audio store. Several times I have received the warning that having too small of an amp can damage your subwoofers. I've asked them how to explain why, and never got a reason I could...

    An Ironic First Kill

    Had my first kill last night, and damn it felt good. It was everything a first time should be. I have had my 87 GN for about 3 months now, and was able to license it for the first time last week. The car was (kinda still is) a basket case when I got it, and have spent the last 3 months...

    Need troubleshooting help - vacuum leak

    O.k. hoping for some help. I acquired my GN a few months ago, a beautiful 1987 beast of a machine. Unsure the details of many of the mods, but it's my baby and I am doing my best to figure out exactly what was done to her before she came into my life. I know it has a modified turbo, and a...
