Long winded. Right now I’m still living with my parents, which means I have to share the garage with my dad. Its a decent oversized 2 car, but the stairs leading into the house, and kick out for the laundry room take up quite a bit of space. Not to mention its storage for 2 motorcycles and a ton...

My dad and I were invited to pit crew on a Top Fuel Harley-Davidson. For those of you unfamiliar these are nitro burning v twins that can make upwards of 1,000HP. The current record for V Twin nitro bikes is 6.02 at 230mph! This was the Jim McClure All Harley Nitro World Finals in Rockingham...

Hey everyone! I've been pretty busy the past few months so you may have not seen as much of me as you normally do, but I've been quietly sneaking around the forum over the summer. I'm finally graduating college in May, and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It feels good to see the...

I may be working on a new project daily driver. The car is a 2006 Scion xB with ~150,000 miles. The original engine was overheated so bad it lost compression on all 4 cylinders and cooked the oil. I know the previous owner so although its not my usual trusty GM product, I feel a little more...

I'll have to take some time to figure out the balancing act (time and cash) between my Cutlass and my new wheels. A great family friend gave me this motorcycle about a week ago. It is a 2002 Harley-Davidson Road King. I was totally blown away. I still am not sure what to think. He said "I...

For my girlfriends birthday this year, I am refinishing an old electric guitar I had. I don't have any paint equipment (guns, proper compressor, etc). So I opted to try to spray it with this "system" I found...

This past summer I picked up a set of American Racing Astro's. I couldn't afford real Gotti's so this will be as close as I get. They are in decent shape (no pitting or curb rash on the face of the wheel) but are in serious need of refinishing. They are cleared and machined. I've sanded and...

Let me preface this by just telling a little bit about myself. I am 21 years old, I grew up going to Maple Grove, New England Dragway. Since my family moved south, I frequent zMax Dragway, Mooresville Dragway, and North Myrtle Beach Dragway. I love drag racing. I love all forms of motorsports...

I made this video this week, and it generated quite the response on facebook, so I figured I'd share it here. Some may find it helpful, and it is a super common question on all g body groups.

We have had a problem with what I think is the valve body in this transmission. We got the transmission from someone else, and when we rebuilt it, some weird shift kit stuff was done inside the valve body and separator plate. From what I remember the check balls were moved, some holes drilled...

The light that illumates the gear indicator on my B&M hammer shifter has been out for awhile now. I had checked the wiring before and all was good, so I'm 90% sure I need to replace the light. Wouldn't you know, $15 pretty much everywhere! You have to pay to play I guess. I'm trying to see if I...

Could there be a new manual swap pedal solution for our cars? Other than the rare factory G-Body setup, seems like this company is on the right track, their B-Body impala kit looks nice. https://threepedals.com

Firstly, I'd like to start off this thread by saying a few things, I hope it makes sense when you're reading this thread why I said these things... 1. I am a 20 year old college student, my G-Body was my first car. I honestly forgot about the "G-Body" before I was introduced to them. (As in I...

Hey guys! I came across this post on my Facebook, and thought the car looked really familiar from my area. Turns out my dad serviced this car at his dealer a while back. Anyways, unfortunately it was stolen from the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area yesterday (9/18). Check out the pictures for...

I'm nearly completed with my first two semesters in college (woo woo!) I'm pursuing a degree in Motorsports Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Charlotte and its surrounding areas are pretty car oriented. Lots of Nascar teams, lots of drag racing and speed shops all...

Hey guys, This looks like a killer deal for anyone in the vicinity or someone that wants to make a little bit of a trek. Console for $10! Doesn't look like it is in perfect shape, but could probably be repaired/redyed. I'd love to run up there and grab it, but I'm not ready for a console yet...

Hey all, I just found out that GM is going to release a new ZZ6 crate motor. I was looking at the specs and it is very close to the motor I built for my car last year. And it kind of got me wondering...this new ZZ6 motor supposedly makes 405hp @ 5600 and around 400 ftlbs. @ 5800 (actual...

So in order to take my Cutlass to our Senior prom this year, my girlfriend says it must have function AC. So I need AC back in my G, all the details in are my signature, it's a Carbureted Small Block. I believe I have the compressor, engine brackets, all the lines, Evaporator and Condenser. I...

Hi all, I'll be leaving for University of North Carolina at Charlotte for college in a few months. Now that I have the Cavalier, I'll be leaving the Cutlass at home for my dad to drive ocassionally while I'm away. I'm going to be changing all of the door seals, trunk seals and sunroof seals...

Hi all, The accident repair on my Cutlass is taking a little longer then expected (due to low funds and hard to find parts.). I figured it would be a good idea to have a second vehicle for rainy days, and just in case my Cutlass breaks again. Found this for $600. 2002, Z24 Performance Package...
