• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    9C1 Engine oil cooler

    Does anyone know how to remove the stupid lines off of the oil filter adapter and the oil cooler? I know it's probably something stupid. But I don't want to brake it. And I can't find any information online. Sent from my pager using morse code.

    HUD brightness

    So I have a 98 Daytona GP. The HUD works. But during the day it is hard to see, even on full brightness. At night it is just fine. I have no problems with it dimming by itself or shutting off. It's just the brightness during the day. I know of the solder fix. I have it apart right now and it...

    Need help IDing and diagnose aftermarket sunroof

    So I just got another Grand Prix. It's a 98 Daytona 500 pace car edition. I know it's not factory since the switch and the sunshade are different. Plus the car dose not have RPO CF5. I have some pictures to help ID it. The problem I am having is the sunroof won't work. Makes a ticking sound most...

    A/C vents and boost

    So. I have been having a problem with the a/c vents getting stuck in the defrost mode on and off in the minivan for a while now. But then it will magical work fine again after I take it easy on it or it sits for a awhile turned off. Everything seems to be working fine when I check it. And if I...

    What spark plugs to use

    I have a series 3 N/A engine with a series 2 top swap. Has a stock pulley, 3" down pipe with high flow cat, gutted air box and high flow filter, ZZP plug wires and a custom tune. What plugs and gap are recommended for it? I have been told numerous things. But I want to make sure. And I can't...

    Found this interesting car in the junkyard.

    Does anyone know anything about this car? It's a 1986 Buick Century T type. Never heard of it. Looks pretty sweet. I would pimp it. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    Scangauge 2 vacuum reading

    I have been using this thing for the past year. I absolutely love it. I mainly use it for boost, trans temp, average fuel used and knock. But my question is the boost value when at an idle is never really goes past -10. Where as a regular boost gauge would read around -20ish if all was well. So...

    Remote start with pass key 3

    Okay. I installed a Autopage RS-860 alarm with remote start a month ago in my 99 Montana. I bought it new like 5 years and 3 cars ago(So I procrastinated on installing it a little). I had everything I needed to install it and to bypass the pass key 3 system. And it works great! No problems...

    Need help in finding an oil leak!

    Trying to figure out an oil leak on my Montana. It has a swapped 2006 3800 series 3, with a top swap from a 1998 series 2. When I put the motor in, I tore it down to a short block and replaced all the gaskets. Well it turns out I have an oil leak on the passenger side down low from the looks of...

    Overkill for a minivan?

    I think not. Fbody brakes with Baer eradispeed rotors. Should bring it down from triple digits in a hurry. And it doesn't look as noticeable as I thought it would. So my stealth factor still remains. lol

    Transmissions and towing.

    So why can you not tow with a 4T65E-HD? I know the owners manual says not to tow with the GTP. Doesn't say why. I thought it was because of the suspension. But my friend told me I shouldn't tow anything when he saw the picture of the Minivan hooked up to a medium size lawn trailer. I said why...

    Need brakes. Thinking about Eradispeed rotors.

    Well I think it is time to do brakes on the minivan. So far it has stock F-body brakes upfront, stock Montana drums in the rear and stock rubber lines all the way around. It stops ok for just driving around. But when they get heated up trying to slow down from 105mph to 25mph going through the...

    I introduce the "Man van"! *now with vids*

    I know it's kind of long. But it is what it is. Have to tell the story of the birth. lol. Well here is my latest daily driver since the GTP got totaled. The motor and trans still work awesome. The body was just tweaked on the GTP. And it's not worth taking a $3000 car to a frame shop. So I was...

    Converter I.D.

    Well I got this torque converter that came with my HD trans for my 98 GTP from Morad a few years ago. I remember him saying it was an aftermarket 245mm converter that was really good for a M90 setup. But I never installed it. Now I want to install it. But have no clue about it. So I was...
