Any recommendation on something that will take 50-75wrms per channel, play decently loud (not blistering) and last? I've had Alpine, Polk, Eclipse and probably few others I forget. The Alpines sounded great but the Eclipse's were the best - but I don't see them around anymore. thanks in...

Does anyone remember the valve cover oil filler hole adapter that John Pearcy used to sell? It threaded into the valve cover and enabled a breather to be installed (pushed in). Is anything like this available anymore? I bought 2 about 10 years ago. Of course 1 is MIA.

what options do we have for new carpets these days?

Any idea what a new-old-stock TTA short block might be worth these days? Also, if I got a few pics of some pistons I have laying around, could anyone I.D. them as TR or TTA pistons? I know they are one or the other. thanks in advance!

I have a Viper alarm system in another car that will not activate after the car was jumped with a battery pack. I found a blown fuse in the alarm system which I replaced, however the fuse will immediately blow when the battery is hooked up, hence I beleive the system is damaged. I don't want...

Hey gang - I'm still fighting with the insurance compay over my stolen 1987 GN and am probably heading to court. I have been searching NADA for prices but when the calendar rolled to 2007, NADA dropped 1987 off as a used car and it's not a classic or special interest year. There is also...

Looking for a cap for my stereo but very confused by all the choices. Rockford Fosgate 1 farad for $80 has a solid brand name, but am I just paying for the name? I also see a lot of Power Acoustik stuff on eBay and I also saw a 1.5 farad Lanzar for less than the R/F. Are they basically all the...

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone still have pictures from past buick (TR) national events? Looking for stuff 5+ years old from Bowling Green.

FYI 1987 GN stolen from Milford, CT on 10/03 between 12 midnight - 6:00 am Car is stock appearing interior and exterior. Motor has significant mods: turbo, front mount I/C, ATR downpipe, wastegate, headers, etc. and has lots of chrome parts. Car also has (probably had!) custom stereo...

Looking for advice/suggestions. I installed an Alpine in-dash unit myself quite a while ago. I need to pull it out to plug stuff into the back. Low-and-behold the girlfriend's kid says "if you have the keys I will do it". What keys? The light goes on - the Alpine units have these thin metal...

looking for electrical debug suggestions - the low speed fan relay will blow after the fan runs for a minute or 2. I am going to inspect the wiring but wondered will a malfunction coolant temp sensor do this? Bad wiring grounding out? I would have thought if the fan was drawing too much power it...

Wondering since ATR is apparently no longer producing these if there is demand for used 2.5 stainless systems or has everyone moved on to bigger tubes? I know I have a set of pipes stored somewhere, wondering if they are worth much.

OK, I swore :) any owners out there? I haven't found a lot of good web info like you can for TR's!! I'd like to start researching them..maybe..maybe ..maybe buy one instead of fixing up my GN.

hate to start a thread like this again, but I'm going to put my 3" TTA downpipe up for sale (pipe only). What's a good asking price? Maybe I'll get greedy and ebay the thing :) nah, I'm not like that.....

any feedback on a good brand of 1 farad cap? I don't want something cheap or best-in-class, just good . I see literally hundreds on ebay and wasn't sure if that was a good route to go or stick with Crutchfield, carstereo.com, etc. and names like Rockford, Lightning Audio, etc. thanks in advance!

OK, here's one of the more lame/bizzare questions but I gotta ask. My windshield has this "stain" that looks like waterspots that only appears when wet. It's to the point where I really can't see out the window when it's raining. I've tried cleaning it with all the usual window cleaners and...

Let me make the disclaimer first: I knew better than to do this, I know this question has been asked a hundred times before, but I need some advice. I bought a item on eBay that is not an insignificant amount of money. The seller had been in communication with me but has disappeared for the...

Anyone use these? I've had a lot of different speakers and would like to try something new, hopefully something that will take a lot of power for the door speakers.

I want to retouch some of the areas under the hood while the motor is out, specifically the radiator mount and surrounding areas. Also, under the antifreeze area, the paint is worn off. I definitely need to primer that area, but should I primer the other areas too or just reshoot color over...

Dumb question time: did all the TTA's get this grayish paint/coating on the bottom? Is it actually another coat of paint or the primer? It looked to me like it was sprayed "over" the white, not vice-versa, hence I don't think it's primer. I'd like to paint mine with something like Eastwood's...
