    Front brake heat

    I installed Willwood 6 piston calipers and 13 inch rotors some years ago. Life got in the way, and I stopped driving the car much In fact, I only drove the car for very short trips, 1-2 miles at a time. I would start the car and let it go through heat cycles, but I never went on long trips...

    fuel pump not getting power

    I went to the garage to start my TR , after not starting it for a few months. It wouldn't start because it's not getting any power to the fuel pump. It cranks over fine, but I can see by the fuel pressure gauge that the pump is not working. I can usually hear it buzz for two seconds before I...

    antifreeze or no antifreeze

    I need to change my coolant in my red car and I was thinking of using distilled water and Waterwetter with no antifreeze. The car is garage kept and I live in a tropical climate. Freezing is not really an issue. The car has an aluminum radiator and Spal fans; so overheating is also not really...

    fuel pump

    I'm trying to empty the old fuel out of my tank by using the fuel pump to pump the fuel out. The problem is the fuel pump will only stay on for about three seconds because the car is not running and there is no oil pressure. Is there a way to bypass this and make the fuel pump stay on without...

    electrical Horn issue

    Yesterday, while I was at work-no one home, the horn on one of my turbo Regals decided to go off for no reason. My wife got home 1 hour before me and found it going off steady. She pressed the horn button a few times but it did not stop and she did not know how to disconnect it. When I got...

    Ridetech coil-overs

    I'm trying to determine the appropriate spring rate needed for my car with the HQ ridetech coilovers. I know they have a calculator on their site, but it involves mocking up and installing a bunch of parts to determine the appropriate spring rate. I know that my car weighs 3450lbs, 3650 with...

    coil over advice

    I recently acquired some nice pieces of front suspension and brakes from a good friend. I got some upper and lower tubular A arms that are made for springs or coil overs. I think they are Strong Arm brand? Anyway, I want to ditch the stock springs and go with coil overs. I know that I have a...

    Used front shocks

    I recently had to take my front shocks out of my GN and I noticed one was weaker than the other. Does anyone have a set of front Bilstiens or KYB or some other brand that they want to get rid of? Money is tight right now so I am choosing not to purchase new ones.

    GNX dash cluster

    Several years ago I purchased the GNX dash cluster kit from Postons before they went under. I did not get to installing the cluster for reason that I won't get into here. This is the cluster that has the black face VDO guages. I recently installed the cluster in my 87 GN. It looks cool, but I...

    RJC downpipe

    I just installed a RJC 3 inch downpipe and it looks beautiful. It concerns me alittle that it makes light contact with the frame just below the starter. I have to drive it to see if it screws with the knock sensor. I hope it doesn't set it off. I guess my only options would be to dimple the...

    This is a real 1987 Olds 442 that I bought a year ago. It was my daily driver until recently. I recently got a company car, therefore it is not needed. It is black on top and grey on the bottom, with grey interior. I had the black repainted about 9 months ago. It was painted by Maaco with a base...
