    What's this worth?

    Been a while since I've been here. Sold my 87 several years back, found a bunch of parts. Not sure what they're worth. Harness, with great not cracked oval loom. I believe it was modified for Big Stuff and changed back. Don't remember. Thought I needed a harness, found a ground not...

    Axle seal replacement questions.

    Thanks in advance. Found today that my drivers axle seal is leaking. So I have a few questions... How bad is it to replace the axle seals? Also, how likely is it that I actually need to do the bearing and possibly shaft? Do these rear ends have a lot of issues with bearings, or just...

    Don't shoot in the air.

    About the dumbest thing I think I have done to my car... But... Just don't shoot guns in the air. I never understood why people did in the first place. My car has a bullet hole in the roof. Punctured the cover so for the last month or two water was getting trapped between it and the roof...

    Non TB dealer issues.

    Guys (and gals), I am sure we have all had an issue with a dealership service dept while doing warranty work. I know there are many horror stories out there, everything from no oil put back in the engine, to vehicles dropped of lifts, smashed during test drives etc... How do you handle them...

    Milan?

    Anyone going to Milan this weekend? A buddy wants to go, I figure I still have a loaner Corolla for the weekend, so fuel will be sipped rather than gulped in my truck. Have gone there before, but mainly just for grudge weekend, which tends to be a shit-show lol. This weekend might actually be...

    Guns are a hobby of mine. I have been an avid collector/builder for a while now. Here is one my my builds. This one was for me. I build a lot for buddies that have no idea wtf they are doing, just know what they want, and how much they want to spend. Billet receivers, Nor-Guard coated...

    Rigged hotwire kit...

    So, as it says, my car has a rigged ass hotwire kit. A 10ga wire ran from alt to a relay down by the fuse box with activation terminal connected to a key-on source, then 10ga back to the trunk. I am guessing the factory relay is bad, or connector/harness. Seems like it is not connected...

    So, I am finally about to order a new chip/inj combo. Started looking at everything, and realize I am not really sure what the stall speed is. Is there a way to identify it by part number, color, diameter etc... The car does have a trans brake, however no tach. The dash tach is fubar and...

    Telorvek harness?

    Has anyone used the telorvek efi harness? I tried searching telorvek and found nothing, just curious if it's any good and what exactly it does as it's hard to tell. Does it just replace the factory harness then piggy back to the factory ecu? Thanks

    New guy...

    As it states, I am a new guy here, Oakland county, Mi. Bought an 87 GN, needs work, kinda rough. It had gone a resto years and years ago. Doesn't run right, not sure if it really ever ran 100% 10 years ago or not. It spent time in a barn, then eventually just sitting in the yard. I may ask a...

    Bought a GN, came here for info.

    As it states, I bought a GN. It is kinda rough, it went a frame off resto about 12-15 years ago that was never 100% finished. Then it saw a most unfortunate fate and sat in a yard outside in Michigan for about 7 years. It is running, however runs wayyy too rich when not under boost. The...
