i bought a TT race chip about 3 years ago but ive never used it. i put it in today just to make sure it worked, and it does. in fact, its driveability is way better than the chip ive been using on the street. given that i have a translator plus, is it safe to run this "race" chip on 92 gas if i...

ive diagnosed a bad tcc solenoid on the car. unplugging it drives great. until it gets replaced, any harm in driving the car with it unplugged? its just around town city cruising, no more than 45mph (my chip locks it at 48 or 49). what about track use? noble is coming up in a little over a...

i havent touched anything on my GN in years. it gets driven a couple times a year. pulled it out yesterday, washed it, and went for a drive. all was well until about the last mile when the tranny started upshifting way too early and it wouldnt downshift either. any thoughts? i checked my lines...

E85 is finally available in town. Can you substitute E85 for denatured alcohol in an SMC kit? E85 is a lot cheaper than denatured alcohol these days.

Any tips on painting the soft bumper filler panels? Is acyrlic enamal with flex agent OK? Would Urethane be a better choice on the flexible filler panels? Is color sanding and buffing possible on a flexible panel? What experiences have you had with this job?

There seem to be a lot of Aluminum drums out there in the salvage yards that simply get discarded (read crushed along with the car) since they have deep grooves in the liners. How feasible or practical would it be to fix these on an exchange basis?

Recent posts suggest that the brake accumulator balls are no longer produced by GM. Is it possible for someone to reproduce them or remanufacture balls that have failed? In the space of a year or two, this will be a $200+ part if no one can supply them and I am sure that most owners will...

today on the way to work i noticed my oil pressure gauge was pegged well past the 80 psi mark on my vdo gauge. i let off the gas and it came down some but was jittery. pulled over and let it sit and watched it flop around some eventually settling a little higher than it normally would but still...

Is the cassette unit in the UM6 the same as in the UX1 factory radio. I have read that the cassette is a separate module from the radio and can be changed out as a unit. I have a spare UM6 with working cassette and a UX1 (equalizer unit) that spits tapes back out. Can I use the UM6 unit in...

i want to run new braided ss hose from the stock filter adapter to an aftermarket cooler. based on some searching, i think the adapter size is 3/4-18. can anyone verify this? if this is the correct # i would need something like this then, right...

im replacing my stock radiator with an autozone f-body rad. so i got a couple coolers for the tranny and engine oil. which leads me to location. original plan was both in front of the condensor, but..... im kinda perplexed. now that i have both coolers in my hand and have gotten into the car...

What are the round rubber pieces that are on the outside of the alumninum drums for? Are they there for balance? Do they dampen vibration? What if they are missing?

I have been seeing more and more aluminum drums in the salvage yards lately, but virtually every one has two deep grooves into the liner from the rivets in the brake linings. Does anyone make an iron "sleeve" to repair these. Is this something that would be feasable for a vendor to supply?

How much wider is the differential. Can anyparts be useful if the price is right. Are the axles the same or different splines? Any info is appreciated.

What kind of retaining clip holds the powermaster pushrod to the brake pedal. I have a wiring birdsnest under the dash and no visibility. Is there an easy way to remove the clip. I am hope that once I can see it, the powermaster install will go smoothly.

My grey brake pressure switch was leaking so I ordered a new one. On installation, I pumped the brakes 10 times to depressurize the system, then removed the switch and replaced it with the new one. Now, when I step on the brakes, the brake warning light comes on with initial brake...

when one turns on the headlights, the dash lights are supposed to come on. in the past this was the case on my 87 GN however, once in a blue moon they wouldnt. turning the headlights off and back on again usually fixed the problem (sometimes on/off a few times). anyway, this no longer works. i...

how far down can you take nittos before they become unsafe? the centers are perfectly smooth. all thats left is the two outer grooves which are 1/16" deep (eyballing it). see pics here: http://www.fastbuick.com/gallery/album01 (if you click enough times they'll blow up to 800x600) also...
