    What is it?

    I saw a 'new' Mercedes Benz yesterday that I had not seen before. It was not a AMG or a Barabus. I could not get close enough to read the name on the right side of the truck, as I was turing into the parking lot the car came out of. The truck was bare except the MB log in the middle and...

    When the MAF is disconnected...

    I understand that a TR will run with the MAF disconnected. I may drive my car from So Cal to Seattle. If the MAF craps out on the way would it be a bad idea to continue to dirve with the MAF unplugged?

    2005 Grand National

    Just dreaming What do you think our cars would look like now if GM had kept making them? What would the GN look like if someone had the money to let Chip Foose Design do whatever he wanted to do.

    Wheel spacers vs large area washers

    How dumb an idea is this? I can see that the only area of contact would be where the washers are and not in the middle area of the wheel between the bolt holes and the wheel bearing.

    What "simple" task is the hardest?

    I hate to change the *I&# PVC. I have no trouble with the #6 plug, I cut the bolt extensions off. The rear coil pack bolt is no problem. Thermostat is okay as I remove the "S" hose and have the billet housing. FP regulator with no leaks, no problem.

    California Smog Rules?

    I thought that all cars made after 1976 needed to be smogged. In the LA Times today is an article stating that cars 30 years or older do not need to be smogged. What is the law currently? My 87 GN is smogged every year at 'Test Only' stations and I had my best smog check ever. I have...

    Warning!

    If you see an MB SL65 AMG, don't run him unless you can do low 10's on the street. But, then again at $176,000, you might not ever see one. I have seen one maybe two around where I live. You can see almost anything here. Oh, the MB SL65 AMG are twin turbo V12s

    Is the fuel rail the same on both TTA & GN?

    I have a FP guage that's off my GN with 34" hose and 3 Earl's fittings for the stock GN fuel rail I don't need anymore. Will this fit the TTA also?
