Looking for a spent turbo for my stepson to dismantle. He's a freshman in high school and is in a cad/cam class. He's taken an interest in turbos and I want him to have the real deal to model. I used to have a couple of basket cases but I tossed them long ago. Obviously I'd be willing to pay...

Hi all, Was cleaning out my shed and found some stuff I have no use for. I don't know what any of it's worth, so make an offer: - "Real" GN bumper (not a chrome one painted black) with reinforcement. Decent shape, not show quality. Rub strip is in good shape; no bumperettes. - 2 GN...

$9,500 OBO. The car's gotta go so by "best offer", I mean best offer. Don't be shy. T-top car. Rebuilt total with good NJ “R” title (transferrable to most states - check with yours before buying). I'm getting divorced and have nowhere to put the car once I vacate my current residence. I could...

Maybe this belongs in the Performance ECM section, maybe not. I can't remember the last time I used my A/C - whether it was before FAST or after FAST was installed. In any event, I don't have any. My compressor had gone bad a couple of years ago, but I ran it occasionally anyway. It...

I pulled my intake tubing off today just for fun and saw this: Never seen that before. Should I be concerned? Is that from "sneezing"? Or is it a trail from sucking in dirty/oily air? Jim

So my GN started idling funny. In open loop it loped along at 300-400 RPM. In closed loop it idled between 1500 and 2100 RPM. Very odd. I saw that FAST had taken the target IAC down to 5 at idle, which isn't right, so I pulled the new Autozone IAC out. It had fallen apart inside the IAC boss. It...

I converted my AC system to 134a a few years ago (actually many years ago). Every year the refrigerant leaks out to the point where the compressor won't run anymore, but there is still pressure in the system. I just top it off and it works decent. This year, the compressor won't run even when...

So I went over to my Dad's house to put my GN away. I'm keeping it at his house while my totaled Caddy occupies the GN's spot at my house. In order to get the GN in it's spot, I had to move my dad's 99 Camaro SS and his '80 Vette. My '02 TA converible was already there, and my brother was there...

What a disappointment. My brother (Darkred87T) is in the market for a new car and I've gone with him to look at several Challengers. He was on the fence about whether the SRT-8 is worth the $10k premium over an R/T. After seeing and SRT-8 run at the track Friday night, he is now in the market...

For those that saw my "Pity Party" thread, you'd be aware of some recent 'challenges' life has tossed my way. Most recently, I totaled my Caddy in a collision with the chief of police. I figured I deserved a mid-life crisis car. So I got this: It's an '02 with 38k miles on it...

So here's how my past two months have gone: 1) In what can only be described as a witch hunt, I was fired from a several-hundred-thousand $ per year job for not reacting to an e-mail that a guy 2 levels down from me copied me on 2) Wife of 16-years decides that she's "done" with me and our...

So I took my freshly rebuilt engine to the track today (neatly installed in my GN). It wasn't knocking on the highway yesterday, but today I had 28" tall tires on it vs. my 26" street tires. I guess the engine has a bit more work to do. I'm not sure how to address it. Here's what it's...

Just wanted to send a public thank-you out: My brother Mike (aka darkred87T) works driving trains. He works day and night, and long shifts. The past couple of days, though, he's spent hours and hours helping me with my Caddy...

All, Since I've moved to FAST, I have no need for DirectScan anymore. It somes with the software, all cabling, IBM 560 laptop, another IBM 560 laptop for parts, charger, external CD-ROM and floppy drives. Windows 98 is installed on the laptop, but I have it set up to boot to DOS. $275 OBO...

Hi all, As you know, I have been a member of this site for almost 10 years. I always remain neutral in vendor-customer debates and even when I have trouble with a vendor I never post it publicly. I feel it's better to deal with this things in person rather than 'virtually'. In this case...

Ever. They suck. When it breaks, and it will, they won't fix it. I bought a Proscan 26" TV back in October 2008 at Circuit City. It has a dead pixel and the built-in DVD player failed. They told me to call Circuit City, who told me to call them. I understand Circuit City's position -...

I was watching World's Wildest Police Videos tonight (so I was bored). I think I saw a GN get hit by a car that was fleeing the police (ironically, it looked like another g-body). The video is short, but it looked like a GN. Anyone remember this one? Looks like it's from 2000...

Hi all, Due to the alarming rate at which my brother and I break our Buicks, last week we got together and bought a pickup with which we can tow stuff (it's also 4WD and has an 8 ft. bed so it's useful for other things). It's a '95 F150 with a towing capacity of 7,100 lbs. It's a V8 auto w/...

Hi all, Happy Thanksgiving! I've been working the bugs out of a new setup and found that I can't control my boost anymore. I have a CPT-70 BB turbo that was okay with my old setup. I could pretty much set the boost anywhere I want via a manual bleeder. My new engine has a lot more head...

I had DirecTV installed this past Friday and I love it. My cable company SUCKED. I had no idea what a clear picture my TVs were capable of delivering. So after the installer left I noticed a ground hum from all the TVs and audio equipment. I went up on the roof - sure enough, the dish and...
