OK, I just got done changing the cam in the TTA as the old aftermarket lifters didn't want to lift anymore (bad backs?). I got the car running, broke in the cam, and took it for a test drive. Idles great, runs pretty good, only hit about 10psi and seems to haul buns. During the test drive...

OK, where can I get either another antenna or something that will work as a replacement??? Mine did the infamous run till the battery is dead routine so it is now disconnected. No hurry as I live close enough to the major local radio stations and have a CD player in the car. Thanks.

Since the Chris Chow thread is all the rage now, I figured I would put up a poll as suggested.

I think I just saw an '82 turbo GN today. It is located in Tucson AZ and is in excellent condition. I am not an expert on the B4Black GN's or any GN actually since I only have a TTA, but it really stood out to me. It was the grey and charcoal paint with BUICK on the 1/4 panels and a turbo...

I just installed Norton Internet Security and when I returned to TB.com I didn't see any of the vendor adds at the top of the page. It seemed rather odd so I checked and NIS2004 actually has a default option to block the adds. If you are using it just go to the Web Assistant and turn off the...

I am posting this as an informative post and also a question/open for debate. In what I have experienced, read, researched, etc.. The reason propane injection has as much effect as it does on our turbocharged gasoline engines as it does is due to 2 reasons. 1) An octane ratine of 108-112...

Don't care who you root for, the Colts pulled one hell of a win out of you know where!!!

Two 5 gallon Propane tanks for the BBQ's: $13.90 One 1 gallon Propane tank for the TTA: $1.39 The look on the attendants face when I hook the tank back up the TTA: Priceless

I am getting a code (42 I think) for EGR Solenoid. I am now having a really bad idle when the car is cold and not much better when hot. I tried checking the EGR Solenoid with the Mighty Vac and it holds no vacuum with car on or off, is this normal? I did a search of the archives and found...

I was at WalMart last night and saw that they had the 5 Quart jugs of Mobil1 oil for $18.88. That is only $3.78 per Qt. Cheapest I have seen it. Thought you guys might like to know.

After having a headache from trying to tune my propain kit, I realised I was getting 100% from the solenoid all the time. To make a long story short, I ended up removing tho Green wire going from the solenoid to the plug in connector and attached it to a ground. The black and green wires...

Well it is finally up and running, got into it a couple of times and it is just causing the car to fall flat on its nose and show knock with O2's around 850mv. I have the turn on point at about 14 and the boost is only set at 16psi (normally knock there on 91octane). Also set to only run...

I was looking at the TunerCat website and noticed it can be used on the 148 ECM on the Turbo Buicks. What I am wondering is what advantages would it have over using say Direct Scan or even TurboLink. It looks like on some ECM's you can tune it on the fly, but is this possible with the GN ECM...

Question: How do you unlock the factory stereo when it says "LOC" on the display? Answer: Press the mute button on the steering wheel. Hope this helps since I see a thread about this at least every 6 months.

Will the stock front rims fit on the rear of our cars? I know they are different backspacing but it looks like they would just stick out about 1" more than rears which would be fine for my ET-Streets since they barely rub the inner fenders. Has anybody done it, if so how did it work?

At the track last night I tried to turn up my boost since I wasn't getting any knock and I realized I had the WG rod as short as I could get it and still be able to put it back on. I have a stock turbo and downpipe and the turbo spools really fast and I can't seem to find or hear any exhaust...

OK, this is getting OLD. If I shut the car off after driving more than 5 miles, it won't start again unless I jump start it. I have checked the battery and it will show 11.85vdc but the starter solenoid won't make a sound. I installed a new starter since the original wasn't always starting on...

Well I made it to the track tonight and still didn't get a 12 second timeslip, the first was a 13.4 @ 107 on 15psi and 110 octane, turned up the boost about 2psi, and got most of the way through 1st and blew the hell out of the #3 headgasket. Looked at the run on DS and it had 0 KR and the...

OK, I have thought about putting some subs in my TTA and decided that if I do it, they have to be removable (for the track) and sound VERY clean. I currently have a Clarion head unit and Kove audio 4x6's and 6x9's in the stock locations powered be the head unit. It sounds really good, but...
