    Cleaning tough stains from leather...

    I have some old leather seats that somehow got light tire treads on them while sitting in storage. Anyone know some tricks to get these things clean? So far nothing I've googled has given me anything that helps. Thanks for your help. Dave

    Maybe those flaming exhaust tips weren't such a good idea...

    When you own a car like this, you probably deserve what happened to this guy. I love how they can just stand there and laugh... Enjoy! Pimped Out Car Catches On FireVideo

    Tuning Methods

    What are the pros and cons of using an SCT chip to tune a car as opposed to a PMS? Obviously, the PMS is more precise, but it is also more expensive. My car is just a basic H/C/I. Is using a PMS tuner going to give me that much of an advantage over just getting a chip? My tax refund will be on...

    I took the smog equipment out of the car today. Finishing the HCI install tomorrow. Anyone know what size belt I need now that the smog stuff is gone? If anyone has a diagram of how to run the new belt on the accessories that would be great too. Thanks. Dave

    Is a Cobra intake too restrictive?

    I'm doing a mild H/C/I using Thumper ported E7s, TFS 1 cam, 70mm TB, 73mm Maf, and 24lb injectors. I personally think that the Cobra intake I have would be just fine, but someone told me today (someone who I trust and who knows these cars extremely well) that Cobra intakes are junk and that it...

    Who's running a s+upercharger on a stock motor?

    I'm looking at buying a blower for my stock motor. I may have enough money to upgrade the intake, but it will be stock other than a 70mm TB and bigger maf. My question is, if I'm running 8 lbs of boost, what fuel system upgrades should I make? Specifically, what size injectors should I use...

    Anyone know about the Vortech B-Trim?

    I'm looking to get a blower for my mostly stock 5.0. Does anyone know about these? I know it's an older model, but outside of that I really can't find anything on it. How are they as far as reliability and efficiency? What kind of boost are they capable of? I'd like to get an S-trim, but my...

    If you were buying a blower...

    ... for a mostly stock car, what blowers would you be looking at? What's the best bang for my buck? Are any brands consistently below average in reliablity or more expensive to repair? This will be going on a completely stock motor (other than upgrading components to support the supercharger)...

    Exhaust leak

    I just installed a new x-pipe and catback, and there is a leak where the midpipe connects to the headers. Took it to a couple of muffler shops and was told they couldn't do anything about it. It's not too bad, but I'd like to fix it. Any suggestions?

    Can pony wheels be polished?

    I had a discussion (or an argument rather) on whether the pony wheels can be polished. My dad claims that the wheels are painted and therefore polishing will do no good. Is he right or wrong? I would be interested in seeing pics of any ponies that have been polished to see if it's worth my time...

    Converting to '90-'93 Steering Wheel

    I am considering buying a 1989 LX that is in beautiful shape. Only problem is, I can't get past how ugly that steering wheel is! Is it possible to swap it for a steering wheel from a '90-'93? A functioning airbag is preferred, but not necessary.

    Catted vs. Off Road X-Pipe

    I am thinking about going with an off road x-pipe for my new exhaust. I realize that the off road pipe gives a better horsepower gain, but how (if at all) will it affect the way the car runs? Is there anything else that I would have to get to make it work right?

    T-Tops Production Numbers?

    Does anyone know where I can get some production numbers on the GT with t-tops. A friend of mine just got an 87 t-tops with 67K original for $3500! That's a steal in my book. Just wondering how many exactly were produced in that model year. I appreciate your help.
