I have to ask-- who decided to tag the VIN 7 cars as being "Test Only"on an annual basis?? I recently received my tag renewal notice and there it is again! Grrrrrr....

...anyone here that we know? It was fairly dark but the vehicle was leaving an industrial complex, turning west onto Mira Loma. The GN was an '87 and had shiny 15" aftermarket rims on it. Morgan

Just a quick note to let all the locals out there know that, if you want to get some speed out of you system, Nov. 13th is the date. This the usual fare, with the gate opening at noon. Thus far fellow board members Jason and Neal have committed to taking their Stage 2 cars out, followed by yours...

I went to my local source for VP fuel and found they no longer sell VP Motorsport 103 and VP 110 out of the pump like they used to ("VP kept pumping water into our tanks...") Instead, they've switched to F&L Racing Fuel Xtreme 101 and 105. Has anyone heard of F&L or used their product...

I did a search and many topics came up but most were related to frame braces, X-braces behind the seat, front end braces, etc. I'm just checking to see if anyone has found any benefit to running a pair of the Hotchkis or Edelbrock control/trailing arm braces that tie the forward mounting point...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good driveline shop in the Orange County area? I need to have the yoke and u-joints replaced on my driveshaft (the one in the car! ;) ) and get it rebalanced. I have a referral for one in Laguna Hills but Directory Assistance couldn't locate the phone...

Has anyone had an "optimum" alignment done for 1/4 mile use? For example, having the front end of the car jacked up a bit to simulate the "nose up" attitude while blowing down the track, and having the car aligned that way? If so, what specs did you use? I am having the PS front UCA bushings...

I did a search but found only parts for sale. :( I need to replace the power steering pump on my 165K mile GN as the bearing is going out, causing a howling sound. My local Autozone can get an Adsco unit for $58 with a $24 core charge, or a $60 Cardone (sp?) unit with a $60 core charge. Why...

5:50 a.m. February 10, 2004 ** on Yahoo earlier today WASHINGTON – Conservative television news anchor Bill O'Reilly said Tuesday he was now skeptical about the Bush administration and apologized to viewers for supporting prewar claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The...

Ever have one of those "once in a lifetime" opportunities, and taken advantage of it? I did a few months back and the result is that I'll be marching in the 2004 Pasadena Tournement of Roses Parade on January 1st. I'll spare the details, but if you or the family watch the Rose Parade on...

...the last few Saturday mornings have been pretty lonely. The most we've had is 3 Buicks, with 2 of 'em being GSs. But, mostly it's been just one (yours truly). It's not a bad venue at all, so c'mon out! http://www.river-road.net/oldcars/ Regards, Morgan

Help! I did a search for "modified upper plenum" and "modified doghouse" going back 6 months but most of what I found turned into debates about the merits of larger TBs. Within a week or so a new motor will be going into my car. The buildup is as follows: girdled stock block, .020 over...

Guys, Just had to relate something that happened at the car hangout on Saturday morning....I sometimes take my GN to a HB CA car hangout. When I do, I clip a small writeup to the radiator core support outlining the various fuel system/turbo/intercooler upgrades and suspension work I've done...

BUICK DRIVER waited anxiously for the elevator to reach the lobby. Overall the interview went okay, he thought. He kept reminding himself that he was doing this to be closer to home. Maybe my luck will change.... The doors motored back, and BUICK DRIVER exited, making sure to head left...

I was out with a friend of mine helping him tune his Stage 2 TR and I all I can say is, what a ride. While out on the "test track" in San Diego the driver matted the gas at 40. The rear end started to fishtail a little bit, then hooked and off we went. With the 300lbs of additional stuff in the...
