Hello, It's been a tough decision, but I've gotta put my GN up for sale. I have a lot of pictures that I can email anybody who's interested, but here's the basics: -79k miles on chassis -9k miles on engine rebuild. According to the previous owner it had just been done when I bought it in...

Sorry I've been pretty invisible this year, I've been re-evaluating a few things, and in some (hopefully) temporary dimentia, I put the Grand National up for sale. I was asking $9500 in the local rag, so admittedly a little more than it's probably worth (despite the $12k appraisal which may not...

I am testing a Magnum RT tomorrow at a local dealer. I did a search and saw some older posts about them, but figured I'd chime in and see if anybody owned one. Considering the speed freaks on this board, I would guess that the HEMI is probably in any Magnum owned here. Since they're so new...

If that Envoy XUV fit comfortably next to the GN in my garage, she would be mine. And its amazing how close I was to convincing myself that I needed TWO big RWD coupes with ~350 horse each. I've got $2200 credit sitting on the GM Card as well...with my Oldsmobile loyalty and all that I'd like to...

Kind of a dumb question, but here goes. I just tested my coolant yesterday, and it was good to somewhere between 0 and -5 degrees. It's gonna be colder than that up here in a few days (yay) so I took a gallon of coolant out, and put in a gallon of antifreeze, so the mix should be good to -25 or...

Hey, not that I'm thinking of selling my mighty GN or anything, but I kinda like to keep abreast of what the going rates are. When I first bought the car, I was appalled at how little they were going for on EBay. But after a quick browsing just now, I was pretty pleased. There are a few there...

Out of morbid curiosity, does anybody have any experience with the LeBaron Turbos from the late 80s? I only ask because I've seen an '88 LeBaron Convertible for sale up here with the 2.2 turbo. I've heard of a FEW (very few) people making these things pretty fast. I'm gonna go hunt down a Dodge...

Okay, we all know the TRs in stock form have SLOW windows. And my power door locks do not work at all (no big deal to me, it IS a 2-door :D ) Anyway, I'd be up for removing all of that junk. I'd assume I can just take out the power lock actuators no problem. But for the windows, I'd probably...

I've been hitting up the local 1/8th mile for street night. They do a little (free) bracket race, but with my abysmal reaction times I've been goin' down first round. My car's usually the fastest street car there, so I had to race brackets to be challenged :p Anyway the car was running mid...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6763&item=2430938724 Just curious, but are these leather bags? I can't really tell from the ad, either they're plastic or very shiny leather. Just curious if they're padded and will work for TTop trunk duty. I usually wrap them...

Hello, I just got back from street night at the local 1/8th strip, and had some pretty iffy short times (surprise). I got some tubular LCAs in the off season, and put an airbag on the right side. I've read a bunch of posts about airbag pressures, and most of the people are putting down a fair...

Oh man, I am just LOVIN' life right now. My buddy's back in town from working offsite down in Mississippi for the shipyard I work at. He's kinda a gearhead, so we rounded up 5 cars and rolled out to the local 1/8th for street night. It was my GN, a friends FAST LT1 Camaro, an '87 Vette, an '00...

A kinda weird ad peaked my interest the other day. A young family was looking for a house a lot like mine which they could "rent to own". I've heard a lot of people doing this, but don't know the details too well. My girlfriend and I want to move into a place with more land, out of the city, so...

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=614103&page=2 I registered here when I was in the market for a C4. Once that ship sailed I hung around when I found out an acquaintance bought an 87 Vette automatic. He's talked some minor smack to me, and wanted to see if he was on the Vette...

I've got a post over in brakes, chassis, and suspension tech, and I'm thinking I'm probably gonna have to redo the front brake rotors, pads, and calipers. The Chiltons manual suggests that wheel bearings be done at the same time. The shop I got my inspection done at said my bearings were...

Hello, In diagnosing a starter problem I jacked the front of the car up. I took the wheels off and noticed that my calipers both seem to be overly tight (seized maybe?) You can hear them rubbing when I turn the wheel, and I can only get about 1 rotation giving them a good turn by hand. I...

Hello, Just got back from the track, DISAPPOINTING results (but aren't they always?) The biggest disappointment was the fact that my car was having intermittant starting problems. I pulled in for tech and shut it down. The guy asked me to start it in "D" to show it had a safety switch. Car...

Woo hoo! I just talked with a co-worker that was gonna junk a driveable '85 Ford Tempo. I offered to give him a 12-er of Newcastle for it, and he agreed. So I'm gonna pick it up tonight. It works, it's stickered, but it doesn't sound pretty (dented on the rear, a busted taillight, blah blah...

Hey, just wondering if any of you partook in this activity. I'm flyin' high right now, I shot a -14 on the local 18 hole course (the Beauty) and am lovin' it. I bogeyed one hole, after choking an easy putt while trying to talk some sense into my friend who was shooting badly. But other than that...

Hello all. I'm still monkeying with my newly installed SMC kit, and am trying to settle on a nice comfortable boost level for my mostly stock setup. Just the other day (80° ambient or so) I had 4 or 5 "digs" recorded on DirectScan. No knock whatsoever at a steady 20 lbs of boost. Alky on at...
