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

    weird cooling issue

    i flushed the coolant completely, no more gunk. new 180* tstat, new radiator cap, and i've used a radiator flushing solvent. after i did all of this, the temp stayed about a constant 195-210. i know i probably have a plug in my radiator, so this temp was okay with me. last night while driving...

    radiator flush

    EDIT: And yes, I have used the search! There are a few topics about flushes, but the information is very jumbled and non-informative! well, 180k miles later, the coolant has become so rusty it's turned into a jelly substance. it clogged and blew the head gaskets, blew the thermostat, cracked...

    downpipe

    i'm running a 3.5 pulley with colder NGKs, FWI, and a 180* tstat. i'm looking through ZZP for a downpipe, but i'm given a ton of sizes and special trims. off-road, shorty, with a cat, etc. i don't really want to go with welding, but i really don't know what the differences are between these. i...

    Supercharger Gasket

    Does it need RTV or can it just be placed dry? What even determines which gaskets use sealant anyway? I never understood, always had to do the research for all of them. =/

    Gm, wtf.

    after changing the head gaskets on my GTP, i've decided that i will never again buy a FWD car or any car with a flipped motor. seriously. after helping my stepbrother with his turbo'd 350 s10, i realized how easy it was to fix something that would've otherwise been so much more ridiculous on a...

    Epoxy coating on supercharger rotors

    I decided to clean the oil off of them with a steel wool brush to a fancy blue polish. I believe I scraped off most of the coating. How safe is it to toss it back in without adding a new coat?

    Replacing head gaskets

    Trying to tear the heads off on my car. Do I need a special tool to get to the bolts on the underside of the stock exhaust manifold? Seems that there's no way I can reach them with the runners being directly over them.

    Valve Cover Gasket Distress!

    So I've been planning on doing this job for a few months now and had a checklist to make sure I had all my parts. When they all came in, I started getting my hands dirty. I made my first error five minutes in. >.< Take a look: Instead of taking off the bolt closest to the S/C first, I went...

    So glad I'm here

    I've gotta say, after all the pain and frustration my '98 GTP has given me, I'm glad to have found a place where I can fit in with my fellow car lovers and learn a lot at the same time. Want to hear about my car problems? Here's a list: Blown LIM gasket Bad S/C coupler & bearings Blown tstat...

    about the cost for a new piece of the frame... (pic inside)

    First of all, hey everyone! I just registered here, but I've been a shadower for quite some time. I bought a 98 GTP about a year ago and a certain part of the frame was riddled with dents and rust. I want to swap this piece out and get a new one, but I'm curious about the expected cost (with...
