Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Broken tranny

    My wife's 2008 chevrolet captiva sport transmission just broke today with only 36,000 miles. That model came out as the saturn vue xr I think in the U.S. and along with other models like the acadia and pontiac torrent have the same factory problem, the 3-5-R clutch wave plate breaks and causes...

    Does anyone know if these tires are any good for drag racing?

    These are for track racing I believe and somehow they are quite cheap (around $45 each) and easy to come by around here as opposed to drag radials which are more expensive ($250). The only problem is that they are 15" wheelbase and I'm not sure if they will fit with the rear Fbody 98+ brakes, I...

    Drag radials or street tires for daily use?

    I bought a set of new hankook ventus v2 street tires for the Trans Am a few months back, they handle relatively good if I drive it normally but they also spin very easily if not careful. The thing is that I haven't driven the car that much in the past few months maybe 3000 miles max and I...

    LED bulbs

    My car uses the front turn signals as DRLs. It's supposed to use 3157 bulbs, but these don't last long they overheat and loose the amber color within a few days and burn. The housing overheats and cracks overtime letting water inside flooding it and corroding the socket haha. So after new...

    Finally my old GTP vs my LS1 Trans Am!

    Mods are in my sig except the GTP is running a 3.4 pulley and stock Tstat. All runs happened at 5000 feet high! GTP ran 14.50's and the TA ran 13.90's. The same GTP with 3.1 pulley used to run 14.20's. Sorry no trap speeds or other data, the track guys suck and they only give you reaction times...

    clear coat after polish?

    I'm having my aluminum wheels polished in a couple more days, they will be stripping them bare then polish. The question I have if it's best to apply a clear coat after which could take some of the shine away or leave them bare polished and polish them again whenever necessary?

    Anyone know what this noise might be?

    The trans am has been doing this for a while, seems to be coming out of the valve cover area on the passenger side. It doesn't bother me much you can only hear it when you accelerate it the way I'm doing it in the video. The valve train and cam are stock by the way. Both belts are new in case...

    Mexican relocation brackets and STB x.x

    I recently installed a pair of brand rear lower control arms in the trans am and they worked great. I was looking to get control arm relocation brackets and front strut tower brace and then I found this guy in the Mexican fbody forums that was building his own parts. So I decided to give it a...

    HID Flicker? (video)

    I'm not sure if you can call this flickering, but the HID beam moves a little. It does it with the engine off and running. If you stare at the bulb it doesn't seem to flicker, but the beam does. I've asked and searched around and it seems that the common solution is to use either relays and/or...

    GTP vs LS1 Trans am

    So I finally got to install my LS6 intake on the TA and I also got a chance to race it against my old GTP. We did a couple of street runs from dig to 70mph and they were dead even. We will try again probably in a week or two at the 1/4 mile, maybe I'll beat the GTP there since the TA has more...

    4th gear missfire

    The GTP is having missfires in cylinders 1 and 5 only when cruising at around 55mph in 4th gear, specially if going up hill. If you shift into 3rd it will go away and it does not missfire under any other type of acceleration, not even WOT. It does missfire in all cylinders while idling, but...

    My 2000 TransAm

    I finally got some free time to clean the car and the sun came out for a few minutes so I could take some decent pics. A storm just started now that I'm posting them :mad: so it's no longer clean.
