As I was getting gas in the GN today a line of cars including a C6 Z06, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari Dino ( I think it was a Dino), an open chassis car and another exotic pulled in to the station. A guy got out of the Lamborghini, came up to me and said, "Nice Grand National." We shot the...

It's that time of the year again. :( Changed the oil in the GN this morning, took it for a nice 30 mile drive, filled up the gas tank, parked her in the garage and put the cover on. Now I have my hiding place for Christmas presents ready to go.

Are there any anti-freezes that won't destroy your bearings if it gets into your oil? I live in Colorado and can not run just water and RMI-25 due to the low winter temperatures we can get around here.

I was coming home about an hour ago driving on a 4 lane low volume road when a white Camero SS came along side, slowed down and revved his engine at me. He had an exhaust but I don't know if he had any other mods. I don't like to street race - especially from a roll - but since there was no...

Was having a problem removing just one of the DP to turbo bolts. Applied PB Blaster and it still wouldn't budge. Then I fired up the air compresser and put the impact gun on it and wala out she came - gotta love air tools! (Anti-seize liberally applied to all botls on re-install.)

I finally made it to the track with my new 6262 journal bearing turbo with the .63 housing. I have an Orange stripe 12" converter and was able to build boost (10#) slowly at the line - much slower than my old TE44. I was still able to cut mid 1.6 60' times and think by lowing fuel in first...

Just a word of warning/advice. Make sure all of your vacuum lines are zip tied. I thought mine were but at the track last night before the 1/8th my boost gauge dropped to zero and the green alky light went off. I got worried so I lifted and I heard a pop when I saw my 02's go to 735! After...

Congress is proposing a new gun law - Bill HR 45 - that would require a firearm purchaser to be licensed and the firearm registered. What do they not understand about "...will not be infringed."? Here is a link to the bill. OpenCongress - Text of H.R.45 as Introduced in House Blair Holt's...

I need to work on the GN tomorrow to get it ready for the every-other-year smog inspection. They should have an exemption if you only drive the car 1500 - 2000 miles per year. I bet my lawn mower pollutes more in one summer than my GN does in 2 years. What a waste of my time. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I went to the local Buick dealer this morning to pick up a bottle of EOS. The parts guy said he received a notice this week that GM is no longer making EOS! He said he has 8 bottles left and as soon as they are gone that's it for him.

I just installed Razor's alky kit. The alky turns on when the test button is pressed. There does not seem to be a signal coming from the new 3-Bar MAP. Before the install the factor boost lights worked, after the install the factory boost lights do not work. What did I do wrong or where do I...

It's the first time she ever got me anything for my car. I was hoping to install it today but I found out I have a cracked head when I tried to start the car. The cylinder was full of coolant and the rod bent. A very bittersweet day.

I went to start the GN this morning and it wouldn't turn over. I looked all around the engine area and notied a drop of coolant on the plastic passenger side inner fender. I pulled all the plugs from that side and saw #4 was wet. I turned the engine over by hand and coolant shot out of the #4...

I saw 2 new Audi R8's With Arizona plates coming home from skiing Sunday night on I-70 (near the Eisenhower tunnel) which was covered with about 2 inches of snow and slush. They were cool looking cars. Anyone know anything about them?

Thank you everyone who posted on my problem. The car was stumbling at very light throttle at 1200 rpm. It turned out to be cam sensor realted. After the car was running I unplugged the sensor and everything smoothed out. The little screw that holds the brass cup under the cam sensor cap was...

The car stubmbles and continues to stumble at very light throttle - TPA around .66. This is either in first gear around 5 mph or OD around 45 mph. All other scan numbers appear normal - BLMs around 134. I recently had Champion ported irons installed and no longer have the EGR function. Could...

Just put my new harness in - what do you guys do with the old ones - just toss them?

I started my car today for the first time in 3 weeks and the SES light started flashing and threw a code 51 - EPROM. I reset the computer and removed and reset the chip - same problem within 5 minutes. I cleared the code, installed a different chip and all is well. Can a chip just go bad all...

My Hoosier QTPs are done - cord is showing. Should I get another set of QTPs - I ususally get mid - high 1.6 60' with a bit of tire spin w/a best of 1.56 - or go with a true slick? Are slicks worth an extra 0.1 - 0.2 in the 60'? If a slick, could one drive it to the track with the slicks on...
