    Another one bites the dust...sadly

    Might not be in the best of taste - but lesson to all those who do not show proper respect to the car and both its capabilities and its limitations. And never mix alcohol and boost, unless you're injecting it into the plenum - but not in your bloodstream. Same ole story - on their way home...

    Problem with GbodyParts.com 2013 Calender

    Well, with the new year n all - my 12 year old daughter needed a 2013 calender, so after much reluctance, I gave her my GbodyParts.com 2013 magnetic calender for her school locker. Now she is the talk of the middle school. Even after the suspension! :D Did any one else but me notice, but it...

    We need a Forum topic devoted to Anti-Theft

    Paranoid freak here. But I've recently installed or am finishing installing several layers of not only anit-theft, but theft recovery devices. I wanted to post a thread on my latest purchase, a high quality, "relatively" ahem.. inexpensive, GPS monitoring device that I think has all the...

    What to do with this set of Steel; 86/87 GN rims

    Cleaning the garage and I have a set of OEM GN steels. The good news is I only paid $100 for the set. The bad news is I bought them at night in a dimly lit parking lot, and they have too much rust and such to even be considered "driver quality" Not horrible - just nothing I would put on any of...

    It's probably been posted - but - Wastegate solenoid vacuum lines "T" - orifice? - To which line?

    As the title says Probably buried somewhere in the tech forum - but I couldn't find it right away. From the Wastegate Control Vavle runs a single vacuum line that then "Y''s into two lines - one going to the wastegate, the other the inlet bell of the turbo. I realized, right before I was...

    EGR - Yes or No?

    Again, doing a search results on alot of information - some useful and some not so much. The simple question is - Do I need to retain my EGR system for engine driveability or such - or no? Assume for discussion purposes I'm running a current chip from Eric or such - where I beleive the EGR...

    Dumb question for the morning - Injector "clips" - PUSH IN or PRY OUT?

    I searched the GENERAL TECH forum and find opposing information I just want to quickly remove the electrical connector from a couple of injectors and see if I can re-arrange the cluster-fluck of the injector wiring someone did. Wrapping the wire around the injector? Criss crossing in front and...

    1982 Grand National - "Buick" Shadow decals for QTR panels and trunk lid?

    I did a search and did not find anything relevent. Does anyone know of the source for the decals so I can get the car re-painted, or are we winging it and reproducing them via a graphics shop or paint? Mine has more than enough of an outline that I can easily trace, then scan into a digital...

    Driver's Side Remote Control Mirror Bezel - Retaining clip?

    Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be on the inside of the door panel to keep the bezel tight to the door panel? When I got the car, it was just floating around on the plastic trim panel. I'm thinking sort of like the power window switch, a speadable clip or something to keep it in...

    I like to watch - Valvetrains

    In the old days when I messed with more Chevy's, we used to have a set of valve covers which had the tops cut out so that you could run the engine at idle without losing or spraying "too" much oil. You could view and and listen to valve train basics easier that way, without making a big mess...
