Car hasn't been on a good tune in a while...figured with spring coming up why the hell not. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to be working on her right now :( Any good tuners in the Chicagoland area that at least have some general knowledge working on these cars? I'm looking to get...

For the past few months I noticed I've been visiting the pump quite often...I set the issue aside for a while and now I just can't take it anymore. I came about calculating my gas mileage the other day and it seems I'm getting around 11-12 mpg (car rarely sees highways anymore) which is pretty...

For you Chicagoland guys, where do you go to get your car tuned? maybe even dyno'd? I got her running good just need to get her dialed in ;)

Like most of you guys i'm never satisfied ;). So what do you guys think, alky/valve springs/downpipe?? I know alky is probably the single biggest performance upgrade that can be done to these cars but I'm just looking for some more input. I've never had the car professionally tuned/dynoed, so...

I've been told that unless you have money to spend, there is really no reason to upgrade the stock downpipe unless your car is running in the 11's. I heard a ported elbow is a cheap substitute. Is it worth getting?

Hey guys, I noticed my tps numbers were a little low on the scanmaster the other day so I decided to toy around w/ it a bit. Once I had it set correctly at idle the WOT numbers would be too low and vice versa. I heard there is a "correct" way to adjust the tps but I swear I positioned that...

I live around the Gurnee area (NE burbs) and every once in a while i see a fellow GN owner whizz by, never getting the chance to catch you guys at a light. How many of you guys live wayy up here??

Just picked up a scanmaster and noticed my tps needed resetting. I brought it up to .44 idle but when I try and adjust it to 4.6-4.8 for WOT it changes the idle setting too. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a faulty tps sensor?? another thing i noticed while cruising is that my o2...

Ok so I'm finally picking up a scanmaster which will give me the ability to play around w/ the boost a bit. I've always let the chip control the boost and now don't know which tool i need in order to manually adjust boost. help me out. thanks

The car has just over 100,000mi on it and its ride quality has totally deteriorated. Im getting new shocks, springs, ball joints, etc, but never thought to replace the control arm bushings. Any thoughts?? Also, If I was to replace them how many control arm bushings are there? 8 front/8 rear...

anyone got one or know where I can get one new??

I'm looking to drop the car a bit (for street use)....I've been searching through a bunch of threads and found the 5658's to be a pretty popular way to go for the front, but I never really found a straightforward answer for rears....if you dont mind, feel free to throw some pics up

I'm pretty sure the converter I have on now is clogged, and very, very old so right now either choice would be better....the car is only street driven and im pretty sure she's done w/ emissions so i need some help in this decision. I dont want the car to sound ridiculous, but if there is a...

Wow its been a while...I'm pretty sure I made a similar post a couple months back but I'm still in the same hole. My car needs some serious tuning (to wake her up) and I would appreciate if you guys can feed me any info on mechanics/shops in the chicagoland area w/ guys that know how to work...

I'm thinking about getting the eibach pro-kit lowering springs for the GN and need some recommendations on shocks to acomodate the eibach's. I'm looking for an all-around good street shock. Also, feel free to chime in with your opinions...I'm replacing the stock springs/shocks for the first...

for those of you running this type of boost controller do you need an adjustable wastegate actuator to go along with it or can you use the stock-style non-adjustable one? Kinda new to this stuff so any help will be appreciated. thanks.

Whenever i floor the car i see my rpms climb put it feels like im going no where. Car has over 100,000 mi. on it so there could be many things going wrong. I've been told my cat should be replaced because it could be clogged. Just looking for some more advice from you guys....thanks.

the car still handles pretty good after 20 years but everytime i go over a bump i notice the car bounces up and down pretty bad and squeaks a lot. Im kinda new to suspension upgrades so i was wondering what you guys think the problem is/what needs to be replaced.... kinda on a budget too :frown:

I would like to eventually put alky on the car this year and i cant wait any longer for a TT chip. I was wondering if i should order the alky chip from eric and just not go over say 10 psi until the alky is installed or get a 93 oct. chip which i can also use with the alky as well..... does...

Going to alky soon and i need a way to turn up my boost. Dont have any experience with either of the two and since they both do pretty much the same thing i was wondering what you guys thought.......... take your pick
