Obviously these cars are not the best handling cars on the market especially when you compare it to a modern platform where cars use magnetic ride control or some of the other wizardry they have going on. If you were to go all out on suspension on a g-body could it compare with a modern car like...

So we are two weeks away from Power Tour for this year. We had a pretty good amount of representation last year from the forum and it was awesome to meet the folks I saw last year! For those who aren't aware of what power tour is: It's basically a buffet of car related things you can wrapped up...

So my stock box was developing a lot of slop in it over the last few years and this year I finally decided to replace it with a new box with the faster ratio. Well I've tried out 3 different boxes, 2 remanufactured and 1 from a Jeep in the junkyard that seemed fine there, but on the car all of...

Been a bit of discussion about 3800's on my build thread. It just so happens that Richard Holdener is testing one of these right now so there's going to be some really good information there about them Part 1: Getting the motor running and baseline tests: Part 2: Tests a few common upgrades...

Hey all, thought I'd finally introduce my car seeing as I've never done that in the 13 years that I've had an account here. I come and go so I haven't stuck around too often in the past. Really cool to see that this forum is still so active in a world where fbook seems to be killing off forums...

Hey, been a long time since I've posted. Will probably do a introductory thread someday because I have a lot to show off now :LOL: So I swapped on Blazer spindles on my GP a few years ago and installed a bump steer kit recently. I was about to work on doing a initial alignment for it when I...

So with my manual swap into my 82 GP I removed the parking brake pedal to gain more room down there and because I like the handbrake better. I'm still currently using the stock drums in the back. I have pulled a set of rear brakes from a 98 Camaro, but the parking brake needs to be rebuilt and...

Hoping someone can help me identify one of the extra wires I have leftover from reinstalling my dashboard. I have the service manual for the car, but have not been able to identify this one anywhere in there. This is the terminal: and this wire leads up towards the center of the dashboard to...

Hey guys, wondering if you could help me out in finding the bushings that go between the crossmember to the frame. I have only been able to find the transmission mount whenever I search for the bushings. I suppose worst case scenario I could make my own mount bushings out of some metal and sway...

So I picked up a set of 16" Iroc Camaro rims. The plan is to run them on my 82 Prix with 245/50-16 rubber front and back. I realize these are staggered offset wheels so the plan is to run the front wheels on the front of the Prix, and the rears on the rear with spacers. I understand I need...

So my car will be using the complete drivetrain out of a 98 Camaro with a 3800/T5 and I'm trying to find a way to make the stock speedometer and tachometer to work with these two. From what I understand, the stock speedometer is cable driven, but inside the speedometer the cable rotation is...

So my last post was on here was 6 years ago, but I'm wandering back here now. So I recently acquired a 1998 Camaro with a T5 manual trans and a 3800 v6. I'm planning on swapping the entire drivetrain from the Camaro (engine/transmission/electronics) into the Grand Prix. I can deal with the...

I recently rebuilt a 700R4 out of a 1986 Chevy S10. After installing it in my car and running it, i've noticed a few issues. The first thing that i noticed, was that i had no reverse. This wasn't a big deal since I could cope with it. The second thing i noticed was that the car's a lot...

hey guys, I'm just finishing up on my car, and i'm looking to put snow tires on it. I want to have an extra set of rims for it so that i can put snow tires on them and just swap the rims between seasons. what i need to know though, is what car other than a g-body can i get the rims off of...

Is there a trick to removing all of the sticky gooey stuff left behind after you take off the door bumper strips? would a heat gun work, or is there a chemical i can use like wd-40? not wrecking the paint would be good. thanks.

hey, I have an 82 Grand Prix that has a tachometer on it stock, the engine had a computer on it and now i'm swapping that engine out. my question is where is the tachomter wire in the engine bay? does it come out of the computer wires on the passenger side, or somewhere else? i don't think it...
