    Very original 1962 Special Skylark 2-door post coupe, 55k miles

    Nice, original, high-option car. I hate to sell it, and I had some wonderful plans to put a turbo v6 in it. For what it's worth, it's about 700lbs lighter than an 87 Regal. But, I'm tired of hearing my wife gripe about it, and so it goes... The story- Car was originally purchased by an...

    Looking for info on a 63 Olds F-85/85GN hybrid I saw

    Just wondering if anyone out there had seen the car or had contact info on the owner. I'm wanting to drop an 86-87 GN drivetrain into my 62, and the swap would be mechanically very similar to that F-85/85GN hybrid I saw. I caught a couple of pictures on the web, but I can't remember where...

    Stay the heck away from AT&T DSL or Local phone service

    Hello all! Today will likely be the end of my saga to try to get AT&T Local and DSL service in my house. You all might remember me asking a few people about it a few months back, and I tried to establish services back in the middle of January. Aside from about 6 days of DSL service to my...

    Anyone looking into laptops

    Hello all! I know that there has been some interest in laptops here in the past, but I've had a hard time figuring out what there was demand for. I now have a line on some good prices on used laptops, but I would have to buy several to get good pricing. If you think you are in the market...

    New messages in the last 3 days?

    Hello all! One thing that I've noticed is that if you don't have any activity for a period of time, the "new messages" timer resets and it automatically assumes that you have logged in again and read everything that happened before your last login. Generally, I try to read new messages...

    412HP/482lb-ft on 93 Octane

    Ok, that's like Buick territory, right? I'd never expect that out of a 2.7 liter Audi v6: http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/stage3_27tko4.html :eek: Upgraded only the turbos, injectors, fuel pump and Intake piping, and put in a chip to match. Remember that this is in an AWD car too...

    Methanol, ethanol, and isopropyl

    Given that Methanol is considered poisonous and corrosive, is anyone having luck with other flammable alcohols? It strikes me that you can get a 40/60 ethanol/water mix (vodka) fairly cheaply just about anywhere (except on Sunday in Kansas), and isopropyl is readily available at the corner...

    Header repair question

    Hello all! While I know that replacing is best and welding is the next best thing, I was wondering what people thought of trying something like this: http://por15.hypermart.net/faqfs200.html Considering their reputation, it might be a good product. It is cheap, and I could do the work...

    How much did you pay for your r134 conversion?

    Looking at getting some estimates from local shops, and was wondering what the r134 conversion cost other people. I need a new compressor anyway, so I might as well get it done. How much was yours? Any tips on a good but inexpensive compressor for it? TIA. - Freed

    Homemade Water-Air Intercooler?

    Hello all! I've got a racing intercooler out of an RX7 at home that sort of I ended up with. It's about the size of a stock GN intercooler. The metal at the sides, top and bottom of the core has about a 1/4" lip and it struck me that it would be pretty simple to box in the sides on that lip...

    VIN Check Please

    Hello All! Not a Turbo Regal VIN, but it is a truck that the Fiancee wants to buy and the current owner confessed that it was a rebuilder. I would appreciate a carfax to make sure that it is not a salvage title. VIN#- 1gccs19w3y8263309 She threatened to take the GN from me to drive if...

    Good GN mechanic in Kansas City?

    Hello All! As time goes on, I'm sure that I will end up needing to have some GN expert go over some aspect of my car. Heck, I could probably use one now... :p Anyone know of a GN electro-mechanical Guru within 200 miles of Kansas City? Thanks! - Freed

    New GN owner, looking for Tune-up advice

    Hello all! New to the board. Just bought my 87 GN on Saturday and it sits next to my 70 GS-455 in my garage. It took awhile, but I finally convinced the Fiancee that Buicks are better than that derned SHO she was driving. Anyway, the GN I bought is very original. I mean REALLY original...
