Any financial gurus? (Doubt it if you have an 80's buick lol)
It's all about knowing the numbers, doing the math, and the the correct path becomes obvious.- Turbo6inKY

helium
Nitrogen's advantage has nothing to do with molecule size. Commercial nitrogen is completely dry. No moisture. The difference in tire pressure that comes from heat is mostly due to expansion of the water in the air inside the tire. Get rid of the water and tire pressures become much more stable...- Turbo6inKY

Has anyone installed a Bosch Iboost brake system in a Buick?
Whether they're a better price is kind of irrelevant. They provide brake boosting electrically with no high pressure fluid involved. That's a bargain at twice the pice. Hydroboost was obsoleted by these. It's over. Nobody should bother with Hydroboost ever again.- Turbo6inKY

Not a financial guru, because a thing like that doesn't exist. They're all snake oil salesmen. But I do know the law regarding 401ks, and you don't have to take my word for it because two minutes with google answers your question. You don't have to move it. You are vested in it after 30 years...- Turbo6inKY

Soldering question
Why? The current draw on an LED that small is miniscule. You don't need 18ga to the board. Just extend the lead, don't try to desolder it if you're not experienced with it. Most of these micro-electronics have contact pads so small you're likely to ruin it if you don't have some practice and the...- Turbo6inKY

Turbo stud came out
Just get new ones: https://flyinmiata.com/products/stage-8-hardware-with-inconel-studs These Miata parts fit our turbo, and the inconel studs won't fail or gall. Ever. And if it does, the kit comes with four and we only need three, so you get a spare.- Turbo6inKY

Fiberglass doors ?
It will work fine. It will not be cheap. It will be cheaper and easier than repairing your rusty doors. It will not be cheaper than securing a set of good used doors.- Turbo6inKY

Shaving weight and eliminating a flammable fluid under high pressure from the system isn't a bad thing.- Turbo6inKY

how's your protein
There is no such thing as a "vegetarian meat." It's processed protein product. With more processing steps than spam or a McDonald's quarter pounder. Ever watch Blade Runner 2049? Dave Bautista's character? Protein farmer? Same, except that movie had the honesty to admit doing it at scale...- Turbo6inKY

GN mechanic Tulsa area
A lot of "rear main" leaks are really valve cover leaks. Be thorough in the diagnosis before dropping that pan.- Turbo6inKY

Current lowering springs too low, which Viking Coilovers would work best?
I run the QA1 setup in the front, but I swapped the shocks out for Viking Berzerkers. The QA1 shocks that came with the kit ended up being too short for my setup (I was running a tall lower ball joint) and I destroyed them. My fault for not measuring. So be sure to measure. I have 210s in the...- Turbo6inKY

Current lowering springs too low, which Viking Coilovers would work best?
It's currently too low for the suspension to actually work right, especially in the back. Drop ranges listed on kits are approximate. They may or may not do that on your particular car. I'm not familiar with the Viking "coiloverover" kits. I thought Viking just made shocks? The Viking kits you...- Turbo6inKY
