    Cold Air Kits

    Out of all the bolt-ons/mods for your GN, this one you can make your self, and you will see the same gains as the $200 cold air intakes others sell. You will get the same performance out of a $50 home built CAI, as you would a $200 one, however with the home built version, you can apply that...

    Who to use besides Racetronix?

    As long as the supporting vendors checks clear the TurboBuick bank, we can all go pound sand it seems.

    Who to use besides Racetronix?

    Selling a product online, providing no installation instructions for your products nor tech support from a qualified staff to handle your sales volume is a recipe for disaster.(Not directed at your business Mike, you guys are awesome) Pass the pool water....

    Who to use besides Racetronix?

    The "forum" everyone speaks of on Racetronix's site, is it run by Racetronix techs? If you post a question, are authorized Racetronix techs answering the questions, or are they relying on the free labor of their customers to act as an informal tech dept?

    STOLEN: 1987 Grand National heavily modded exterior...

    Couple things... 1. Check with OCAT (Orange County Auto Task Force)...mine was found in a garage, by them in OC, after a car ring took mine from your area as well years ago. 2. IF you hope to get a fair pay out from your ins co, take down the pics of the V8. Hurts the value........alot, and...

    Who to use besides Racetronix?

    Why are the vendors protected here more so than the members? Shouldn't a vendor be REQUIRED to offer phone support as a condition of advertising to this community?? IF a vendor does not offer phone support, it tells me they are not confident speaking about their product, or they are only a...

    Radiator Replacement?

    3rd Gen F-body radiator $80 w/ warranty from O'Reilly/AutoZone/etc , junkyard Intrepid fans $25-$50, and mix in some RMI-25 $10 with water. Ran same combo, and was always at 165-175, with 160 Tstat in SoCal heat. Instead of spending $450 on a radiator, then adding fans, find the most cost...

    Sometimes I have to shake my head.....

    3% or 30% PayPal does not protect the SELLER from the BUYER filing a fraudulent claim, then getting to keep the item AND the $$$$. PayPal is NOT seller friendly, and favors the buyer 99 times of 100........unless you do MASSPay (no fees, no charge-back) PayPal's motto should be "A fool and his...

    Earl gives great advice, and what does TurboBrian do?......ignores it, and focuses on painting his valve covers. :banghead:

    Sometimes I have to shake my head.....

    Shipping rates for UPS/Fedex/USPS are publicly posted, not reflecting a shippers volume discount. Any one can look these up on the respective site, and I don't think it would be a good business practice to charge more than the listed amount, given the stated weight of the item.

    Sometimes I have to shake my head.....

    $13 for shipping a block off plate? USPS flat rate box ($5) works wonders in this situation. Any "profit" should be built into the ITEM not the SHIPPING.

    Don't comply since there is no law making you do so, according to the CHP and BAR- http://www.ocregister.com/articles/questions-595877-news-checkpoints.html “Any fool can make a rule And any fool will mind it.” ― Henry David Thoreau

    Horrible night. Car pissed. Never ran horribly like this before.

    The car was stored for 10yrs you say........ Was it stored outside? Is it a T-Top car? Sunroof instead? Replace the ECM. Chances are water could have hit the ECM, causing the intermittent backfire/stop/die/ feeling. Same thing happened to my 1st GN, and recently to a buddy's Limited...
