    TV Cable

    So the TV Cable pictured above is what I have in my Buick. It's some universal type that I put in place of the original that broke back in 2005. It's worked fine, but I recently replaced my transmission and am having trouble adjusting it. Not sure if anyone has a cable similar to mine but...

    turbotweak chip upgrade?

    Does anybody have contact information for Turbotweak? I'm not even sure if it's possible, but I purchased a chip from them a couple of years ago and have changed my thermostat to a 160 so I need to have my chip reprogrammed (if possible) or just buy another one. A phone number would be great!

    Question about transmission rebuild

    Noticed a skip every once in a while on the hwy and a nasty smell "if" I jump into the trottle. I've decided its time to put some new clutches in it. The car runs and drives fine for now, but I'm sure that those clutches are going to start protesting one of these days. I'd like to change them...

    Got a new turbo, but have some simple questions

    1. What is the torque setting for the four bolts that hold the exhaust elbow. 2. Adjusting the actuator is obvious, but how do I know where to adjust the actuator to my desired boost?

    Question about a dual fan set up

    Just bought the dual fan set up from Gbodyparts. I've got the fans installed, but it's tight and I'm not sure how it's supposed to be positioned with respect to the oil lines since they seem to be really close to the mounting ears that are part of the fan assy. Does anybody have detailed...

    Ever feel like your car is working against you?

    I've spent the the better part of last year trying to get my suspension changed, replace the core support and body mount bushings. Finally got all that done and put some new tires on it. So after driving my 86 Ttype for about a month, I started getting this weird sound when I started the car...

    One of the "un" fortunate 547

    A friend (from SC) called me this morning to find out what the value would be on a GNX thats sitting behind a body shop adjacent to where he works. He never knew it was there because its been under a tarp the whole time. After the wind blew the tarp away he realized what it was and that it was...

One of the nut plate just behind the driver's side rear tire had pretty much discentigrated and the driver's and...

    How hard will this be to fix?

    Over the weekend while I was changing my thermostat, I decided to take a look at my turbo. I have a stock turbo in my 86 Ttype. So I rotated the blades by hand which seemed a little too easy. I also grabbed the end and was able to move it up and down and left to right. I'm sure this thing...
