    This is Disco Stu signing out....

    I have hesitated to post this until I was sure. I have not been on the boards in awhile, and it sounds like a couple people noticed I was not at Buick/Ford. But the time has come to put the toys away for awhile, and sell a few while I am at it. I'd like to make very clear how fond I am of...

    Set of cherry GN wheels with tires.

    Chrome is in fantastic shape. Bright, no pits, scratches, rust, ETC. Black paint is what I would consider great shape for used wheels. Never seen a set of GN wheels that had perfect black paint unless NOS or redone. I can take pics off all wheels and post them, but they are all in as good a...

    Best way to ship wheels and tires?

    I have a set of GN wheels and tires I need to sell. But Not sure how to ship or how much it will cost. What would be the best method? UPS/FedEx, freight, greyhound? Stack them on a pallat and strap them down? Individual boxes?

    Broke bleeder off in an alum caliper.

    I was about to bleed my Aerospace brakes after swapping to a manual cylinder. So there I am trying not to round off the nut with a flare wrench, but it was in good. So I try a socket and twisted that SOB off in there. :mad::mad: Funny thing is, I was not even loosening the bleeder. It's a...

    Revs but no go... tranny or convertor?

    Car revs but barely rolls the car forward. Seems to have reverse. Went on a series of 3rd gear pulls. When I was happy with the tune I went from a 25 roll and let it drop down into 1st. 2nd seemed to hang momentarilly. let out of it and coasted to a stop at an intersection. When I went to go...

    Got a 9" that's going in the car, but it has a spool and 35 spline axles. So LSD options are limited. Can get ahould of a billet Lenco locker for cheap tho. Never had or driven a car with a locker. I hear both sides, I'd like to hear yours.

    I hato do it, but I think Im gonna sell my old car.

    It was fun, and went pretty quick for old stuff. But it's been sitting for 3 years now, and is not doing any good. I was gonna save it to build a race car. When you have a street car, you want a race car and vice versa. I have the street car now again, and is very much a version of the other...

    So I just bet this dude $50 that.....

    .....ratchet hold down engine straps were not stock. He said it was in the owners manual. :biggrin: Apparently, his GF recieved the car from her father, and she did not want it. She wanted an Eclipse instead, so he found one and they made the trade. Shoulda said $100.

    Got the HV pump/cam gear wear blues...

    Took my cam sensor out to put on a cam sensor repair kit. The cam and sensor gear are taking a beating. Nothing but metal sludge is getting picked up by the oil filter magnet. New motor, so it all looked normal, but I bet this is a big part of it. I even set the pump up pretty sloppy at .006...

    Put parallel flow condenser in car.

    Easy install. I put a 16x27" condenser in the car with some simple brackets, along with a new compressor, dryer and red orifice tube. I was expecting freeze my face off performance comparable to modern AC systems with this type of condenser. Mildly disappointed, but it is ridiculously hot down...

I can connect, retrieve data etc. But when I try to flash it I get "waiting for powerlogger to respond..... cant open com port 16. I've tried other...

    I need the FAST tuners to weigh in and help me out.

    I've always had problems with this and would like to figure out what I'm doing once and for all. I don't know if it;s more of an issue of AE, 02 gain, or what. Maybe I should go ahead and choke down on the correction limits since the tune is getting close but scared to since it's adding fuel...

    Vent needed to relieve pressure on top of external wastegate?

    Been fighting overboosting since I went to an external gate and controller. I am trying a single solenoid set up to bleed pressure to the top of the diaphram to increase. This is teed off of the boost reference from the compressor housing to the bottom of the wastegate. When the boost starts...

    Are my A/C pressures too high?

    I charged it day a few days ago and converted to Freeze 12. And then I realized I had a leak at the low pressure switch and fixed it and recharged. So I don't know exactly how much I charged it. I had chagred it to 28 psi low side, 210-220 high side. It blew a chilly 38 degrees. It was high...

    Cruise diagnosis, GM repair manual confusion.

    The first step in the diagnosis chart is to check viltage between pins B and J on the cruise module connector, disconnected. It should read ign voltage. It doesn't. It says follow repair action Q. But the probem is there is no action Q, just A through K. :mad: So what now? Fuses are good...
