    Mods are in my sig. I've got a TT chip and it is just the canned tune it comes with...no custom tuning at all. It runs great with zero knock...would a custom tune make a noticable difference?

    Caspers Field fix install?

    Been having battery/charging issues and decided to get the field fix harness. I understand how to hook it up to the Alternator but the other end that hooks up to the wastegate solenoid is a problem.

    Plasti dipped GN?

    I've been debating for months about wrapping my GN in semi-flat...but resently noticed ppl doing the plasti dip on their entire car. Goes on easy, looks as good as a wrap except tons cheaper..and peels off when done with it. My paint is crap and I have door dings and even a few hail damage spots...

    New door lock actuator...won't lock

    My old actuator was weak and I had to hit the button a couple times for it to lock. Went ahead and replaced the actuator now it won't lock it...if I manually lock it it will unlock. But it kinda seems like not enough travel to actually lock. Thoughts?

    Me vs a Diesel

    First of all, I don't drive my GN much and when I do, I drive it like an old lady...lol. Anyways, I was minding my own business and a new Diesel Ford truck kept pacing me...he had a gauge pod, big exhaust and lots of attitude. I wasn't planning on running him at all..and it was from a roll (lame...

    No AC...is there a fresh air vent?

    My car has no AC (I didn't remove it), I was wondering is there some kind of fresh air vent that can be opened to have some kind of air moving inside? If there is, how do I open it and get it coming out my vents? Btw, my AC controls are gone also. Thanks

    At idle (in park) my A/F gauge reads 13.5-14.1....but when I push the alky test button to prime the system my A/F reads 11.5-12.8 at idle. Is that something that's normal? Is the computer just fattening it up in response to the alky?

    Will the TV show "Muscle Car" ever do a GN...

    I posted on Rick Bacon's wall on Facebook asking him if they will ever do a GN build on their show, it would be interesting to see what they could do to one. He's response was "We've suggested doing one several times and they (the powers that be) won't allow them to do a V-6." I'm really...
