I have a stock intercooler for sale from a 1989 Turbo Trans Am (#1481) for sale I sold my TTA and this IC is taking up space. I replaced it because it had some small leaks between the core and the tanks at 15+ psi. I've been told that radiator shops can reweld the tanks. I'm looking to get $75...

I have a Casper's coil and ignition module tester that is still in the original box. I have used it no more than 10 times. Since I no longer have a TTA, I am selling the tester. $90 shipped in the lower 48 states. PM me or e-mail me at kjcooper at toast.net I can send pictures if necessary.

Sorry this is not Turbo Buick related, but I thought you guys would know if there were any good shops in the area. The vehicle is a 97 Jeep Wrangler with damage on the passenger side below the door and to the front axle. I just moved here, so I have no clue who to trust. Thanks in advance.

My wife and I are selling our house. There is an easement beside the house, which is owned by the city (they own it for possible future expansion of a street). Our garage is behind our house and we have to drive on the easement to get to it. When I purchased the house, I called the city...

I asked some of these questions in the Lounge, but I guess I should have started here first. My wife and I are talking about moving to NC soon. I have a job offer in Durham. We will be living in an apartment in the beginning until we can find a house. Does anyone have advice on which areas...

My wife and I are contemplating a move to NC and was wondering what is required to license a vehicle there? I looked on the DMV's website, but was not clear on everything. Assuming we lived in the Raleigh area, would we have to get a safety inspection and emissions inspection every year? How...

Hey guys, I am going to be in Durham, NC for one evening next week. Is there any sites that I should see? Nice places to eat? Thanks in advance.

This is a good question for those of you that have owned your TTA's since new. I am rebuliding a 9 bolt rear end for my TTA. The housing is getting sandblasted this week and will be powder coated next week. What color/finish is the rear axle supposed to be? I know it is black, but should it...

If so, PM me or e-mail me at kjcooper@yhti.net. I have some questions for you regarding the proper etiquette when looking for a new job. Thanks.

I drove to Rockford, IL last weekend to pick up a new rear end for the TTA. On the way there, I stopped at Country Classic Cars off of 55 in Staunton, IL. They had a dark blue 86 T-type for sale. They were asking $4550 for it. It was very dirty, but the body looked solid although there were...

As some of you may know, I ruined the ring and pinion in my TTA about a month ago at the drag strip. After pulling it apart, I found out that a previous owner had swapped in a weak 10 bolt rear end. I am looking for a complete 9 bolt for the car and I was just wondering if anyone has changed...

I have about 58,000 miles on my TTA. As far as I know, it has the stock injectors. The car has always ran rich at WOT (high 800's-mid 900 mv). Keep in mind I am using Diacom as a scan tool, so the O2 Voltage is shifted about 50 mV higher than the other scan tools. Anyway, I was playing...

I use Diacom Plus for a scan tool on my TTA. I was looking at some runs I had recorded today with the stock chip. At WOT, the timing (listed as Spark Advance on Diacom) ranged from 20-23 degrees. It is my understanding that this is correct for a stock chip. I then looked at some runs that I...

I decided to pull the stock intercooler out of the TTA today and pressure test it. I found at least 7 leaks. Check out the pics: pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 The sad part is that only 10 psig was applied to the intercooler at the time :(. I've heard of fixing leaks with JB weld...but I...

I've been trying to track down the reason our TTA has been running high BLM's and high O2 readings. To make a long story short, I found a couple of small pre-O2 sensor exhaust leaks as well as some vacuum leaks. I pressurized the intake tract with approximately 10 psig of air and found that...

I recall this topic coming up once before, but I do not remember what the outcome was. When I change the engine oil on our TTA, it takes more than 5 quarts to bring the level up to the correct mark on the dipstick. It has been a few months since I have changed it, but I believe that it took...

Okay, here is the situation: Our TTA has the stock chip with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and an K&N cone filter. The engine has been idling very rough and is running very rich at WOT (mid 900's mV on Diacom). Adjusting the fuel pressure does not seem to have any affect on the O2...

I've been trying to get our TTA ready for its first time at the track (since we have owned it). I was having some problems with knock, so I tested the ignition module and coil pack using the Casper's tester. I noticed that one of the coils had an intermittent misfire. So I stop by the local...

I have a test pipe that I am going to put on my TTA. Before I do, I have decided to weld a separate exhaust pipe with a flange on the end into the test pipe to create a cutout. Does anyone have any recommendations on what angle the pipe should be relative to the test pipe? Is it that...

This is for the Kansas City guys...I just found out about a GMC Typhoon project truck for sale in KC (specifically Lee's Summit). Is anyone interested in looking at it for me and taking a couple of digital pics? I'll be honest, the owner seems very shady over e-mail and I do not want to waste...
