I'd stick with R-12. Converting to R-134A on an older system designed for R-12 never cools like it did with R-134A. 7-10 years ago it was almost impossible to get R-12, and it was very expensive. Not the case these days. It is easy to get, and not nearly as expensive as it was a few years...

Thanks, yes it is an unbelievably clean car. It shows even better in person. I graduated high school in 1987, and at that time, this was the car to have. I couldn't afford one back then. Now twenty plus years later I finally own one of the cars I lusted for during my senior year. It took me...

Great replies so far. I'm listening. Here's a couple of pics of the car. Keep the suggestions coming. Next time I'm out to my warehouse, I'll record all the scanmaster #'s at idle. [/URL]

Yes, Earl, I agree. When I first got this car several years ago I was dead set on not touching it, and leaving it stock as to not affect it's value. The more that I've read, the more I believe certain upgrades are a must. I won't do anything to butcher the car, but I certainly want to improve...

I'm thinking my next course of action should be a new chip, injectors, and hotwire kit. Should I bother replacing the fuel pump, or just do the hotwire kit first? I did check all the hoses and vac lines today, all looks good. This car has been kept in a climate controlled garage all of it's...

I checked the TPS readings on the Scanmaster today. With engine off, key on, not touching the throttle it read .42 Floored it read 4.6 According to the Scan manual this is within normal range, correct?

Thanks for the replies so far. Yes, A Turbo Tweak chip is on my to do list. Before I go there, I'd like to address why the motor is not running smoothly. Why does it hesitate, stumble? Could this be related to the dated Hypertech chip? Could I have a clogged, bad, or tired injector...

I own a stock, pristine 87GN with 16k miles on it. I've had the car a few years now (bought from original owner), and have rarely driven it since ownership. While the car is in immaculate condition, it has not run right since I acquired it. Now I'm finally getting around to dedicating some...

I'm interested in them. What brand tires? I'm in S. Florida, so logistics may be an issue.

I'm here is Miami. Have a pristine survivor 87 that is all original, and all stock. Down to the factory delivered tires. I can usually be seen at the Sir Pizza show in Kendall the first sat of the month. Was there this past Sat.

I could not sell it for less than 30k. Yes, it is that nice. A time capsule. It's the nicest you'll ever lay your eyes on, guaranteed.

I have a mint, untouched, unmolested, survivor 87 GN with 16k miles. I may entertain the idea of a partial trade towards your T/A. I would need more info, photos, ect. first. Rob.

Hi, looking to find a local knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanic to help with some issues with my low mileage stock 87. Thanks.

These symptoms sound exactly like the way my car is behaving.

Thanks for the tip on the chip. I'll definitely look into that.
