Oh boy...Where do I start?...My GN has been sitting since Jan. 2004 at my parents in laws backyard. I finally have made it priority to restore the car to its former glory. In (http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/timing-chain-skip-and-damage.110229/#post-759017) 2004 I had timing chain...

I spotted amonte ss in my local junkyard. Is there any part worth taking on it (swaybar?). Also spotted a 99 camaro, dont know if its a v8.

If the timing belt skip say a couple of teeth (car never restarted), what type of damage can be expected? This has hapopened to me and my mechanic says i need to rebulid my engine. The timing cover came of and alot of the nylon is missing fom the gear. He says he must clean out the engine of...

On a 30 degree night after starting the car and waiting a minute or so, i brake boosted the car and went wot two times. After that the car acted funny like it wanted to shut off. Later that night and the next day i drove the car for about 15 minutes on the highway. The car drove fine. On the...

Where are you guys tapping in for a boost guage install? Right now its teed on the vac line for the fule pressure regulator. But i do not think thats such a good idea.

There is a black box 4"x3" that has a molded plastic AC emblem on it. It is located under the dash to the left of the steering column in its own bracket. It has a bunch of wires going to it. I disconnected the connector and the car still started up. Security light on the dash was blinking...

For teh csII system, how many ohms are the dash and pod speakers? Are they each 8 ohm? I want to replace the speakers with aftermarket ones. Maybe 3 way 6.5s and 2 way 3.5s. But i am afraid that may total 2 ohms and blow out my pioneer head unit.

My mph reading on my digital dash reads slower than the actual speed. It is only accurate upto maybe 15mph. After that it starts to slow down. If it says 50mph i am actually doing close to 90 to 100 mph. I have had this problem ever since i bought the car 4 years ago. Scanmaster shows same...

I went to to my local audio shop yesterday and saw a set of Porche rims that look like the GNX style rims. The rear set had a deeper lip than the front. The removabl center cap had a porche symbol in them, but the cap is also shaped like those GTA/GNX style cap. I asked the owner if these...

The small aluminim line (by the transmission cooler line)that goes from the evaprator to the condensor has a 1/4" hole from rubbing on the radiator area. My question is since this line is discontinued from GM can i patch it up with some sort of epoxy? My only concern is if it is a high...

I had it with this damn car! I have almost changed every part of the cooling system and my temps still reach temps of 193 with no A/C on 90 degree days. This is what i have done: New heater valve (plastic type,two years old) new heater core (6 months old) 160 thermostat from postens (two...

Does anyone know the part # for the hard metal line (small aluminum line by transmision cooler lines) that goes from the evaporator to the condensor? Is it okay to get one from the junkyard? Mines has a leak in it.

My digital dash reads a slower speed than the actual. ITs fine from 0-20mph. But above that it starts to slow down. If it reads 50mph then i am going close to like 80mph. Scanmaster reads the same values as the dash. It has done this ever since i have bought the car. I had a rebuilt tranny...

I used to have a 1990 turbo eclipse a while. It had twin radiator fans that blew fast and furious. The same went for the blower. Can anyone take measurements of the radiator fan and check to see if it might fit our cars with maybe slight modifications?

Today i ended up taking out the alarm on my car. My two transmitters dont seem to disarm the car anymore. They gave out within 6 months of each other one at a time. I have a red led on my dash, the shock sensor i have says audiovox, the alarm module i took out had no identification and was...

I was racing a mustang from a roll on the hiway the other day. Had my foot firmly planted on the gas. I reached a speed of about 100-110 when i heard a pop and car would barely acclerate any more. I pulled of to the shoulder and found out that the uppipe popped out of the throttle body...

Twice while i was driving the car today the fuel fuse blew. When it first happened the tank had about 3-4 gallons of gas in it. I replaced the fuse with another 15 amp fuse and drove it 2 blocks to my house. After about another hour i took the car to gas station 5 blocks away and filled the...

Just had my tranny done with the correct speedo gears installed and BRF code. But my speedo still reads incorrectly (speedo reads 50mph when actual speed is like 80-90mph). There is a possibilty that the rear gears are a 3.08 from a monte carlo the previous owner used to have. My car from a...

My starter went kaplunk. I am planning on buying one from Autozone for like around $40 like some of you have. Was gonna go for the lt1 starter but one person on this board who has it says it cranks a little weaker, plus its considerably more expensive anyway. I have never changed a starter...

After driving with a slipping tranny for a whiles now, i finally bought my car into CK performance and had a stage 1 tranny installed with a restalled d5 convertor. Pricing is good for a top notch 2004r tranny rebuilder. This tranny shift strong and hard. Especially into 2nd gear. I never...
