    QUICK S10 STEERING BOX QUESTION

    I picked up a 2003 S10 steering box today and I want to try it on one of my G-body cars. Can I use the S10 pitman arm or do I have to swap it? It looks slightly different and is 1/4" shorter. Anybody know for sure?

    CALIFORNIA: $1000 FINE FOR ALTERED EXHAUST

    There it is. California has enacted a law to give $1000 fines if a cop feels like it. Who do you think will get pulled over and fined the most? Now, go watch your football heroes. LOL!

    Leaving turn signals on

    Every now and then I notice I had left on my turn signals after bearing right or left, I just don't realize my signals are still on. I can't hear the flasher clicking, and the dash indicator is too dim to catch my eye. I'm sure this is common with Buick Regals, anyway, and maybe other G-bodies...

    Sometimes I purchase mechanical parts that are specific to my cars from Advance. Many times you can put them in your "cart", not act on them right away, and then get an email from Advance offering a 20 or 25% discount, which I will then take advantage of. Sometimes I find that even with...

    DIY HOOD LINER FOR TR

    As most of you TR guys know, new hood liners for Turbo buicks haven't been available for years. Mine was in OK shape, but I sure would have liked to get a new one. You'll see them from time to time for sale on E-bay or in the classifieds, but between the price of the hoodliner and shipping...

    MINI-STARTER FOR 3.8 V-6

    Many of you have probably already replaced your starters with something smaller than the stocker. I just wanted to point out the Corvette starter I purchased on ebay and installed on my car about three years ago -- works great! It's much easier to install than a stocker, looks good and sounds...

    TURBO REGAL CHINESE HEADERS?

    I've been thinking about buying a set of Chinese headers offered on E-bay. I can't find any feedback about them other than criticism of them on turbobuick.com. They're all afraid to say anything good about them because they themselves will be criticized. I'm sure there were problems with them...

    Puzzling Question about LED headlights

    I purchased these on Ebay a couple years ago for $69. I like them very much. They're much brighter than stockers. The stockers, both hi and low beam worked fine without a problem, but after I installed them, though I hadn't switched to hi-beam, I found the new headlites were in hi-beam mode, and...

    Larger than 12" rear brake rotors?

    I was wondering if there were any REAR brake conversions that would use a 13" rotor for a reasonable price? I have an LS1 Camaro brake conversion which is 12", but I'd like larger. I have 20" wheels so the 12" rotors look kinda small. TIA

    REPLACE THE CALIPER???

    I replaced my LS1 brakes with Corvette 14" brakes, new rotors, new Hawk pads, and rebuilt calipers. I didn't feel as though my car was stopping as well with the larger brakes, and I noticed that, 450 miles in, that part of the rotor surface on the driver side was not making full contact with the...

    Just installed 14" corvette brakes on my GN

    I recently installed 20" wheels on my GN, and I thought my 12" front LS1 brake rotors looked a little puny. I decided to upgrade to 14" rotors with Corvette calipers. The worst of it was getting together the right parts, but finally I did and I'm happy with the upgrade.
