This is a very open ended question, but what do you guys know about CF connecting rods? From what I understood this is very very new technology and save for F1 race teams basically no one has them. The ones I saw were being developed by Lambo (2017) in a forging type mfg process where the...

No more etest starting in april.

So earlier this week, i was just walking along, minding my own business, when a silver tongued sharp witted salesman dug his razor talons into my back . Long story short, I ended up buying myself a graduation present. Its an older/fatter cousin of the Gbody that i know absolutely nothing...

Just ran across this while searching for an unrelated google image. Looks like instead of frame notching, he "narrowed" the factory frame and stiffened it up. Basically back halved, using factory metal. Interesting concept. Cant argue with the results. Probably works pretty good if you modify...

Getting ready for winter here and with a very light pocket book at the moment I decided to invest in some literature for suspension upgrades. After doing some research I found a sample of Joe Hinds' Gbody Performance Upgrades book and ordered it. Also ordered a different book by Mark Savitske...

I've been wanting to post this for a while, because i see some really cool/clean cars but the pictures are lacking. This post is aimed squarely at the “G-BODY of the MONTH” section. I can share some tips on how to help OTHERS see your ride, the way YOU see your ride. It has to do with the...

1) Has anyone done a vinyl top delete, but kept the trim (maybe not the same G-bdoy trim, but some sort of trim) in place? Is it doable? Basically if you think back to the 60's, the cutlass and camaro comes to mind with its painted roof. I want to know if its possible to do something similar and...

Custom chassis manufacturer in Ontario???? http://www.canadianhotrodsinc.com/11988-g-body-chevy-monte-carlo

Hi guys; Im not that up to date on the latest software/apps but i figured id post this maybe someone else knows. Im using firefox, but could use chrome/explorer if i had to. Im looking for a 1-click app that is capable of downloading an entire THREAD, in a "printer friendly" fashion. I tried...

Hi guys; looking to do a quick winter project to get some handling back in the wagon for not alot of money. The suspension is really worn out, and as fun as auto-crossing on the bump-stops is, i think i've had my fill. My question is, which El-Cheapo springs and shocks would you put in there...

Just goes to show, you dont need thousands of dollars in upgrades to have fun! Enjoy! But let me apologize in advance, for being the worst camera man ever in this video lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgSYi5pLAk4

Was looking at cost effective suspension mods, and I seem to be fixated on the heim-joint style rear control arms for autocross related stuff. TRZ motorsports seems to offer a nice and low cost option, however everyone seems to use their stuff in drag racing. Any one using it for autocross or...

Has anybody ever weighed their car without engine and transmission? I would be interested in knowing the weight of a Buick Regal/GN if possible, but any Gbody will do. If you state a weight, please list which of the following youre using? 1) Wheels, stock or...? Steel or Aluminum? 2) Brakes...

Im looking to see what you guys are using for drag wheels. There is some ET and HP to be saved from having to spin these heavy wheels and I'd like to benefit from that. I bet a lot of you have done this homework already an could save me the searching. Cost is obviously a factor. Billet...

I hate hard line on automatic transmissions. I haven't been able to remove a set yet without damaging the lines or the radiator. Before I go and install another set of hardlines, I was wondering if anyone is running braided hose? I like the idea of AN fittings for easy removal, and flexible...

http://www.racingjunk.com/Oldsmobile/25 ... motor.html I am assuming its yours. I don't actually know.

Here's a story about my car and engine. I bought this 1984 Buick Regal in fall of 2011. Picked it up 9 hours away from my house, and raced it the same day where I picked it up. Laid down a 13.6 @ 102 off the trailer which was the best of 3 runs. Figured I could get that down to basement 12's...

Sorry for the short notice; I have an empty trailer (car hauler double axle, full float) going from Ottawa Ontario to Hamilton. Actually departing from Casselman Ontario very late Friday April 5th, and arriving April 6th 2013. And ofcourse also have the 8ft truck bed both ways. If you need...

Hi Guys; Im looking for input from people using a 294 series grind on their engine. Would love to hear from someone running the Comp XE294H on on olds 455. Trying to pick a custom grind that is close to this cam in nature, and wondering if anyone can comment on street manners. If you use it...

A tire kicker bought my vehicle..... Who knew?
