Wow, I've had these rims a year, never could find anyone that would paint them. Had a guy that wrapped the spokes. Just ordered tires. Excited to get them on this spring and see if I need to trim the front springs a little.
Working on the car again, swapping front springs and going to Delrin bushings on the front A-Arms. Has anyone made braces for their front A-arm mounts? My buddy's 78 TA has these bolted on brackets. I was thinking of making something simliilar, but I think just adding a brace between the...
Am about 95% ready to pull the trigger on buying a set of Year One Olds Rims. I really can't leave them as is. I originally had a set of 15X7 Olds Rally's that I painted to match my car 29 years ago, (Ouch) Ran them for about 10 years before getting Outlaw II's. Anyway, I like the 17" rims...
So my winter plans are swapping out the 5660 front springs for some 5662 for a little stiffer front end. As part of this, I'm wanting to replace my front lower A Arm poly bushings with Delrin. I've been unable to find any replacement bushings. The poly bushings have probably 65K miles on...
I've got the 5658/5413 combination with tall ball joints, Fbody sway bar and Hellwig rear sway bar. Currently have QA1 single adjustable shocks, but haven't really found a good adjustment for them, so am going to go Bilstein's, since they get such good reviews. My car sits 6 1/2" to the frame...
With the extra time on my hands due to the recent situation, I finally got some time to install the 98 Buick Regal front seats in my Cutlass. I bought these about four years ago, since it's very difficult to find any maroon late model seats. My Cutlass originally had buckets, manual passenger...
Years ago, I converted my floor shift Cutlass from a 200C to a 2004R, I happened to find a shifter out of a 4 speed Cutlass, which made the swap easier. Fast forward 20 years, I just broke the shifter cable. When replacing it and trying to get the detents to line up, I noticed there's some...
So the clips broke on the RH front fender and the trim piece fell off. I located a replacement, but am having a tough time with getting replacement clips. I've ordered the GMK4562115811R, but fit the LH side. I'm thinking of ordering the GMK4562115811L to see if they've got them backwards for...
Hi. Working on installing a Pypes exhaust on my Cutlass. Needing help with two items, Pypes Tech isn't open until tomorrow.
The rear brackets for the tailpipes aren't lining up with the holes in the frame, and I'm having a tough time getting the mufflers installed. I'm having to angle them...
Hi. I'm switching headers on my 85 Cutlass, I currently have 2 1/2" pipes with an H pipe. Everything is in good shape, but since I've got to redo the pipes to the headers, I'm thinking of getting the Pypes X pipe kit (XGG10). I'm wondering how close the Pypes system is to my current setup...
I've got an 85 Cutlass with stock springs and a 403. the ride height isn't bad, but wondering if I'm missing out on some handling with 30 year old springs with 198K on them. After alot of research, I'm leaning towards 5658 Moog for the front and 5409 moog for the rear. I'd like about a 1"...
So I've got an 85 Cutlass with the factory 5 band Equalizer. the clock display won't shut off. I've looked for a replacement radio, I keep seeing one's with green display. My radio has an orange display.
Any one else have a factory 85 radio with an orange display? I've owned it since 94...
Anyone here going to Olds Nationals in Norwalk in a couple of weeks? I went last year, there were a few Gbodies. Wasn't sure if anyone here is going or not.
My factory radio won't turn off the clock display with the ignition off. It started doing this about a year ago. I keep turning off the battery when I park it. Can anyone recommend a repair shop for the factory radio?
Also looking to upgrade the stock speakers, any recommendations?
Thanks!
Seriously starting to look at coilover conversion setups. There are many different brands and styles out there. I'd be interested in who's got real driving experience on them and the brand and spring rates used. There's alot of information out there, I'm not setting up an autocrosser, but...
Hi,
I recently bought some Mickey Thompson ST street tires to replace my well aged BFG Radial TA's. I bought the same size (235/60/15) but put them on different 15X7 Rims. I noticed that the Mickey Thompson's look narrower than the BFG. Anyone else running the Mickey's notice this?
