I was at a JDRF event tonight at the World of Speed in Wilsonville, and there was a WE4 in the parking lot. One of the cleanest I've seen. Does that belong to anyone here?

My originals all started to fall apart at once, so I bought the GBP stock-style replacements. Now I need to get them painted. Any recommendations? Paint on the car (also original) is pretty faded, so I don't need Barrett-Jackson quality. Also, is it better to install them, or hand them over to...

One of the members at montecarloss.com had Schwartz Performance build him a new frame. It's done now and they've posted some videos showing just how much the stock frame flexes, and how theirs looks in comparison. Their frame is also lighter, with better F/R weight bias. I want one, but I'd...

Hello All, My lower column bearing seems to be shot. Steering column is wiggling in all directions, right where it attaches to the intermediate shaft. Here's a pic found on a 'Vette site. Is this part readily available? I couldn't find it at the usual spots (rockauto/AZ/NAPA/O'Reilly)...

This is a TR panel, right...belong to anyone here??? YearOne Road Trip Updates: AFTERMARKET GAUGES - How to choose and install?

I've been chasing high idle BLMs and did the rubber glove trick (boy, that doesn't sound right) on my car. BLMs went down to 116, so I was pretty sure that it was a leak off the vac block. I found a couple, sealed them up, and took the car out for a spin. The BLMs are even worse! The PCV line...

I didn't want to hijack SS/GN's thread on the RJC engine brace, so I'm starting a new thread. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/general-turbo-buick-tech/299855-rjc-new-engine-grace.html In the videos showing how much the engine rocks, I was shocked at just how much deflection there was. When...

this morning, with pics showing what looked like black Postons, or am I dreaming???

Just wondering how everyone's dealing with the variations in boost readings in PL. Looking at various logs posted, it seems that changes of 1psi or more are not unusual within 18 frames. I'm not concerned so much about the fact that there are variations, but if boost goes from, say, 14.5 to...

I downloaded the PL software in anticipation of buying it during Mike's sale, and noticed that one of the MAP options is "IAT." Does that mean I could use my TurboLink boost sensing harness with it - and if yes, how does it connect to the input block? Thanks.

Spent last weekend in Anaheim with some friends and had breakfast (after a freakin' AWESOME car show at Mazda's office building) at the Katella Grill, near Turbo City. As we pull in, I see a GN with Texas plates. We parked next to it and right then 3 guys came out of the restaurant. One worked...

Took the family out for a spin in the Buick yesterday because it was Father's Day. Merging from one highway to another -and there are TWO merge lanes - a 70s-looking Porsche 911 comes screaming up behind me and sniffing my bumper. When we finally are able to merge, he doesn't pass but instead...

I just installed some 42# Limetop Lightning injectors and Extender chip this week. I've had them a few years; they were bought from a board member but I can't remember his screen name and there was no documentation. Here's what I know: Underside of chip says "MM 100 octane" (this is why I...

The GN is featured in quite a few scenes, and during the opening where he's stopped at a light, it sounds like they used the car's real engine sound. My wife noticed that they do quite a few of the high-speed shots from the trunk, with the Grand National emblem right in your face. I think...

At least new to me. Saw these in "Drive" mag at the barber shop today. SMALL GM D154 ALUMINUM DISC BRAKE CALIPERS (PAIR)(POL9848) - Performance Online Aluminum stock replacements. MUCH less than the SSBC ones, but I don't think they're 2-piston like the SSBC.

This car's been on craigs for weeks...if I had the space and $$$ I'd buy it for a parts car. The wheels are interesting. It's near Portland, OR. 1985 Regal Limited turbo **************************************** From the ad: 1985 Buick Regal limited turbo charged - $2498 A very cool 1985...

Going through the garage last night and I had kinda forgotten about this. It's the old ATR stainless "stock replacement" downpipe, and it never fit quite right on my car. Is this DP still worth anything with all the 3" and larger pipes now on the market?

I thought I saw a post like that a few days ago, but now I can't find it. Anyway, the new Summit catalog came and they carry Pypes systems now. The description says this is a stainless system with mufflers for $330. Pypes Street Pro Exhaust Systems: PYE-SGG53S I checked on the Pypes website...
