    Everyone, please help me out -- dealing with insurance company!!

    As some of you know, my car was stolen and completely stripped (except for the steering wheel for some reason.) The insurance company is now willing to give me $12.5K after registration and taxes, I personally think my car was worth at least $12.5K-$13.5 before taxes and licensing. If you...

    Theives took everything, just a husk...

    Well, they pretty much took everything that could come off... I'm not sure if the theives put those wheels on there, or the tow yard...nevertheless, I left a message with the insurance company. They'll probably let me know how much they think it was worth tomorrow.

    Replacement car?

    Well, my beautiful, loved, and well taken-care-of GN is no more. :( It was my daily driver, so I need to replace it with something that can go forward, backwards, and do all the things a car can do. I don't want to spend alot on a new car. Also, I may just pick up one of my brother's cars...

    Stolen car found...

    Well, my car was found in...guess where? Oakland! For some reason...everyone knew it would show up there. Whoever stole it was kind enough to not only strip it, but burn it as well! :( I haven't seen it. The police department simply told me that it was tagged, "Major stripping" and "burned." I...

    Bay Area Help! Stolen Car!!!

    Makin' 3.5 MAF fit on uppipe? (MAF relocation)

    Bruce! Help me with your expertise! (or anyone else who is willing to help) :) How should I get a 3.5 inch MAF on the uppipe? I can't find a 2inch to 3.5 inch transition hose. Maybe I could make a 3 inch uppipe connected to the intercooler with a 2 to 3 inch transition hose, then a 3-3.5...

    Using random oil filter!

    Months ago I changed my oil; I thought I had a filter somewhere in the blackhole that it my garage...I didn't. But I found a Fram 3600 for my mom's Ford Aerostar! I used it! ...it seemed to work fine. If it fits, is there any reason not to use a random, bigger filter?

    Jagged edges on compressor blades?

    The edge of the higher blades on my compressor are jagged -- full of knicks. I haven't noticed this on any turbo before...could something nasty have gotten into my intake? It's aggravating! I have it outta the car right now...and I keep looking at it...getting more and more irritated. Are...

    REPOST: Quick question -- Oil path through motor.

    I'm reposting the question, because I didn't make myself clear the first time. The turbo on the car is gutted, no turbine or compressor! Just the housings and the middle section with a bolt through it, with washers and RTV. Ok, I'm smogging my car. I needed to use the stock turbo -- I...

    Meaning of #'s on compessor and writing on backplate.

    I just took of my turbonetics turbo for smog. I was examining it and noticed that raised on the metal between the compressor blades - "I" then a few blades over "259" and a few more "A." I assume it labels the compressor wheel somehow. Can someone decode this. Second, written on the...

    Running on 87...

    Yeah, I know this is retarded; just hear me out right now. I need to smog my car in CA and to do so I need the stock turbo on there, mostly because of the valvecover breather. Since the compressor on my stock turbo is in terrible shape, I'm going to run a bolt through the turbo where the...

    Upstream LT1 MAF? Translator or T-Plus?

    Hey guys... My brother put a "high performance" MAF on his '93 Camaro, leaving me the stock MAF. I've been wanting to try putting a MAF just before the TB and see what kinda performance improvement I get. Just wondering if I should go with a Translator or a Translator Plus. By the sound of...

    Lowering stall on a converter (Try to ID this converter!)

    ...hey, it is possible to change the stall speed on a converter, correct? If I remember correctly, it entails changing the pump somehow. Although, I'm not sure what converter I have now (don't ask me why I don't know, I was young&dumb.) It stalls to 3200rpms and has lock-up -- so I would...

    Rear main! Can't it just not leak!?!

    Ok, is one seal better than another? Is there comething I can do to reinforce it? Why? Oh why, do the rear mains seem to be such a big problem on these motors!?! Well at least for me. I've just let mine leak for the past year. I had replaced it, but it only stayed fixed for six months. It only...

    Sensible converter?

    Hey guys... What would you guys recommend for a converter that stalls around 2200-2400?? Something sturdy and with lock-up of course -- my motor is makin' around 350hp and 430 ftlbs, seems to be enough power to make a converter stall about 200 more than it's rated (at least with what I got in...

    Installing Fiberglass hood

    My brother bought me a fiberglass hood. The latch on the old one was broken and poorly welded. I think he ordered it from the postons catalogue, I assume postons got it from somewhere else. Anyway, I'm trying to get it to fit right! It's almost impossible. It's on right now and it fits ok, but...
