    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    Installed 10-32 heli-coil inserts and stainless steel button head machine screws in my Precision Stock Location Intercooler so I can tighten up them lil buggers so the aluminum shroud won't vibrate. The self tapping sheet metal screws that originally came on the unit are not the best set up.

    Headlights

    I agree Hella E-code H1's and H4's are one of the best set ups . You can go with or Halogen or LED bulbs . That's what I used to run and was a great set up! Or, If money is no object, you could go the full Monte (so to speak). JW Speaker 4" x 6" LED Projectors. Best Lighting I've ever had...

    Installed a Garrett .63 A/R exhaust housing which replaces the Precision .63 A/R housing on my Precision DBB 5857 SP turbo. Looking for a little quicker spool up. Should be much faster spool.

    Front Load washing machines - what brand to buy?

    Our personal experience with a very expensive LG front loader was not good. Just after 5 years, we ran into issues that would have been over $750 to repair....and there was no guarantee that it would last...so we junked it! Bought a Samsung and have been very happy with it....it's been 5 years...

    8.5 rear end restore disc brakes

    Good Luck with your project. I started out trying to wire wheel and use rust remover on mine and eventually gave up. Sent it out for media blasting with aluminum oxide....best $40 I ever spent! Did a great job and it was painless. Used Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator as a primer and few coats of...

    Our 79 Monte Carlo- Pro Touring Project

    Nothing even noticeable. I've got Spool Fools's 1 piece fiberglass rear bumper filler installed with the GNS rear frame rail brace on my GN and it's not discernible . Only would increase the distance between the chassis and bumper shock mount pad by the thickness of the material of the brace...

    Our 79 Monte Carlo- Pro Touring Project

    Have you considered a rear frame rail brace to tie the back end together? Scot W at GNS Performance has these brackets available. Due to the stellar quality of factory tolerances in the day, you'll need to bolt these on and measure up and weld in some square bar stock to suit your frames unique...

    HELP QUICK PLZ Blazer Brake Upgrade Question

    But sure to torque down the brake hose to caliper bonjo bolt. 40 ft. lbs. Are you sure ? Isn't 40 ft lbs too much for the hollow caliber banjo bolt? What is the factory recommended torque for the 10mm x 1.5 threaded banjo bolt?

    98~05 Blazer brake upgrade! DONE!

    I used the original bracket with the gbody lines no issues. Just make sure you orientate the gbody lines so they don't hit the frame when is lowered. Thanks for the "heads up", any chance of posting a picture of the brake lines with G body bracket please? Curious to see how the brake lines are...

    98~05 Blazer brake upgrade! DONE!

    Got my blazer brakes / callipers installed . With car jacket up and wheel on at full lock my 15" tires hit the Blazer brake line bracket. WTF? Wondering with the weight of the car on the wheel if this will still be an issue at full steering lock? I have 16" wheels that I run when it's back out...

    GM Code 42

    I encountered the same error code this summer with my LC2. Finally was able to fix the problem by replacing the coil pack and module with known good used OEM units.

    Which front springs and shocks

    QA1 & Viking are similar. Viking are patterned after the QA1's and I understand that the company is staffed by a bunch of people who left QA1. My ride isn't too harsh and springs aren't compressed too much so lots of adjustability increasing or decreasing ride height, but I have only 3/4 of the...

    Which front springs and shocks

    I've got QA1 coil overs front & rear on my GBody with a V6 under the hood. UMI lower tubular control arms (Delrin Bushings) and GBodyParts upper tubular control arm with spherical metal bushings. I'm running 550lb Viking Springs in the front (supposedly less sag vs QA1 springs). The car is...
