Hey. Sold my GN a couple years ago, and cleaning out my garage came across some stock parts that had been taken off the car. They are as follows (and are all stock items) Turbo Intercooler Heat shield rear control arms cassette player catalytic converters intake Camshaft I also have the...

So, I sold the Buick a couple years back. and In cleaning out my garage, came across a few things that might be of interest..All prices will be plus the actual shipping cost. My postal code is T4R 2K4, for shipping purposes. I'm in Red Deer, AB Canada Factory amber front marker lights (The...

Hey so lately my car hasn't been wanting to spool up as I'd like. From 0 to 10lbs, it's very slow to spool, then from 10 to 20, it rockets up like it used to. I will admit, I haven't checked for vacuum leak yet, or double checked my intake piping. Just trying to cover all the basics before I...

I don't think mine is, but I have a flat tappet style cam in my car, and i hear lots of problems about wiping lobes off. When this happens, what are the characteristics when this happens? Is it noticable? Thanks TJ

Is there a normal negative boost level you would expect with our cars while at idle? Mine sits around -12#'s when at idle. Thanks TJ

Finally got the car back together the other night, drag slicks, longer wheels studs, and got my liquid intercooler back in... Cruising around, not much action around town, when I come up behind a nice looking, '94 Mustang with the old 5.0L in it. Had some gauges, a wing, rims, and BF drags...

So, i finished installing bigger studs last night, so i can fit spacers on to ensure my tires don't rub.. My question though, with the spacers on, (rear's only) the rim does not sit on the ring in the middle of the disk (Where the studs come out) The ONLY thing holding the rim on are the studs...

Thought I'd post this for future searches! LOL I just put on a pair of Nitto 555 drag radials, 275/50/15's. they seem to hook great, (haven't really pounded on them yet) and the best part, they DO NOT rub. Stock wheels, rear suspension consists of boxed LCA's, and dual airbags around 15lbs...

Hello all, might be forced to put my stock intercooler back on my car. My combo is below.... Would this be a totally idiotic idea? Am I going to even notice much of a dfference? Thanks PS If I'm getting rid of my ATR liquid intercooler, what would you guys recommend? stretched stock? FM...

Hey everybody! My car has the ATR style liquid intercooler on it... I'm kinda getting sick of it! (long story) Anyways, I still have my stock air to air intercooler, and my car almost never sees a track. mostly city driven. Would I notice a big difference to put my air to air back in...

WOW, I work at a high-end, used car lot up here in Red Deer. We just received a 2007 Corvette Z06 6-speed, 2400KMS. Needed fuel (Of course I volunteered! LOL) Now, I haven't had my buick to the track since the build, but using the scientific "seat of my pants" measuring system, I don't think...

Hey guys, I figure I get one silly question every 6 months or so, so here it is. LOL I've never used my direct scan to tune the car. But It's been running a little rough, and I want to hook it up, and get the necessary readings etc... The DS is designed to record a full 1/4 mile pass...

Hello all, wanted to weigh in on your opinions.... I'm very happy with how my engine and tranny are working right now, but am finding that I'm having a hell of a time hooking up. the car is driven 99% of the time on the street. Maybe one or two trips a year to the track. Besides boxed...

Was out on the town last Thursday night in the Buick, kinda cold out, but clear roads finally. Met up at the local Macs store where usually it's all ricers with big fart cans. Not tonight though. There was a twin turbo AWD Skyline, new SRT-8 Charger, SRT 4 (that I beat in my previous post) 300ZX...

The other night, was driving home from the Gym, stopped at the lights, had a PT cruiser or something beside me. Just cruisin, so wasn't flooring the car. Get past the PT, and before I knew it, 2 SRT 4's come whizzing by me, started to do a ricer fly-by, but slowed down and paced me. Gave him...

Hello hello, I feel kinda silly posting this here, but here goes. I always figured my car had the G80, limited slip option in it. When I do burnouts, etc, both tires always lite right up. Lately, It's been more of a peg leg though. I was double checking my RPO codes on the underside of...

I'm running BF Goodrich t/a's right now, 275, 60 15's. Hate em. Am looking at changing to a 235 60 15 street legal drag radial, either the BF Goodrich, or Nitto. Does anyone have any experiences, positive or negative about either one? Not sure which pair to get. Thanks

Í have a slight oil leak at my return line off the turbo. I've spent the last few hours trying to figure out how to get the line off to replace it. I already have a new line from Gbody parts but can't figure out how to get the original line off of the block. I can get it off the turbo, but not...

Hello everybody, wanted to get opinions on upgrading my rear end. I'm pretty sure I've burnt up the clutches in the factory posi unit, last fall it was a peg leg.. It's getting closer to that time of getting her pulled out for the spring, and I've narrowed my options down to either a full eaton...

As far as I know, I have the posi rear end in my GN. I've noticed that while rolling, if I punch it, only the driver's side tire breaks loose and spins.. But when I'm stopped, and do a burnout, both tires go up in smoke.. Is this normal? Is my Posi unit starting to go? Thanks Tom
