Help a neophyte, please. The car I take care of for an overseas buddy is an 87 TT, doesn't get driven enough due to my paranoia, and always seems to develop new issues. Thank said, it has a few leaks (Oil (& ATF)) that appear to be $$ to fix. A shop that builds custom turbo/supercharger...

I have a line on what is suppose to be a complete 87 GN motor, less intake, dis-assembled. Needs freshening, FWIW. Thinking about picking it up to reduce down time. What should I be looking for? Never bought a used engine in parts before, much less an LC2 Thanks Ken B

So I bought a new sensor (actually two) the other day. Bosch cuz thats what autozone and kragen carry. Too convenient Go to install. Minor PITA to remove the old sensor Then I cannot get the dang thing to thread. Try try try. After trying both, eyeballing vs. the old sensor, I measure...

I've noticed 91 is generally as good as the octane gets here. This is not helping me tune the 87 TT. Can't tell real gremlins from crappy gas gremlins. Car previously had a midWest diet of 93 or 94. New chip is designed for 93. I'm in Torrance, anywhere have decent unleaded gas (>93...

2004R needs rebuilding, mush on the 1-2. That said, can anyone recommend a shop in SoCal for a rebuild? Particularly a trans that will go with me to 11.99. I realize that I could order a rebuilt one from up north or out East, but I'd still need an installer. I'd prefer to prevent the...

Still sorting out my T-Type Searched, didn't find direct answer easily. Given that stickers exist, "Do not add brake fluid" yada yada and people warn about overfilling- What is the correct brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs? (Reason I ask, one is only half full, so...

So maybe a searched the wrong terms, but not a lot of info easily found. I've only had the car a short time, and have started replacing "wear" items of unknown age. Are Turbo Regal hoses difficult to find? Where have you purchased them. I want to replace all the radiator and heater...

I haven't been able to find high quality photos of GNX emblems. Can someone help me out (either a link) or PM me and then exchange email. I need something better than web quality compressed images. Reason being, the WE4 was partially GNX cloned by prior owner, then the current...

I tried a search, and didn't hit upon anything useful. And I'm too lazy to read everyone's sig or visit homepages I've read the GN recipes on the other major GN board, but what of TTA's and anything unique Ultimately, I'm curious to know what progression of mods and resultant track time...

So I've been looking at TTA's on eBay etc. as I may get one, and need some advice. BTW, search the forum is not advice IMO. Searching this forum, one common complaint is (paraphrased) hard to find/get parts. My question Which parts? OEM replacement? If so, whats unique (besides...

Aside from doing a search, which I did and not so much useful info came up. What car covers are being used, and where did you buy? Indoor use (of course). Thanks KenB

A newbie trying to keep this short I'm out of town for work, get a call from the wife the other day, trans fluid puddle appearing under car (87 WE4[?, authenticity under investigation]). Her dad (a darn fine mechanic) takes the time to check it out (no time to fix, darn). His comments...

Car I have has two K&N open element breathers, one at the oil fill, the other on the PSide where I'm told should connect to the back of the turbo. As I have to get the car to pass CA emissions, can anyone provide a picture of what should be on the passenger side? Part number? Cost? Thanks...

Having searched and read several threads, one question looms- Does anyone carry collector/limited use insurance that does not exclude the occasional drive to work? Any other options? Several sites I have visited are quite emphatic about coverage during use for the public interest and that...
