General Buick Tech / wb 02 and knock

« on: November 05 2013, 11:44:14 PM »

Well it seems every new part I add knocks seems to come with it. The parts im.adding are only for monitoring- pl wb02... I finally got wb02 installed-plx and on one run I hit 14#s but wb.was showing 12.49. Does it matter the car wasnt floored and tps volt was about 2. I guess im.asking even though it wasnt floored it showed 12.49. I did.also.exper ience a 5.8kr at this.point... oh the 02s were 799 when.all tbis happened.
 Another queation am I analyzing this.right? Looking at tps volts w 02 w wb?

Bitch/Whine/Moan / So the GF says I have an obsession

« on: August 26 2013, 12:18:06 AM »

Me and the woman were talking tonight and she says I have an obsession. Yes its my car.  In the beginning I explained what the car meant to me and my goal to have a 10 sec gn. Y 10s idk. Anyways her being an accountant sees this is a waste of money. I also told her that I wont propose to her untill I have a 10 sec slip. And honestly the main reason y the car first is bc she doesnt get this car hobby and is unsportive of it. Shes broken my balls about how much I dump into.it and shes not my wife so my thinking is fuck.it,you wait then.

I will admit im obsessed. These cars are my dream car and I finally have one and a pretty one at that too. I guess it doesnt help im.at a better paying job w little overhead that I can dump lotta $ into the car now. I guess I.do base my happiness off the car bc in my mind I accomplished a dream/goal. I even said u broke my balls about how much I put into the car as a gf,I dont want tp.imagine as a wife.

Its funny girls that had nothing going for themselves were cool.w the idea but my gf has a lot bu herself @32 hoise car accountant. Coukd just be my experiences... .

I'm heading to exhaust guy So he can weld my bung in my do for the sensor. Plx suggests 36" from Turbo. I have yet to measure it out to see where it leaves me but I'm curious of the angle. Straight or angled or doesn't matter much..

General Buick Tech / DSE rear sway bar install problems

« on: August 05 2013, 07:21:25 PM »

I purchased a dse rear sway bar months ago. Just got around to installing it and something's a miss. The swivel bracket is located directly above my passanger trailing arm. Driver side is fine. Maybe it's time for rear trailing arms? The holes are measure 5" as per instructions..

Bitch/Whine/Moan / My first Bitch and Moan

I know you guys have been through the tb.com mess for years. but its not until just recently w the nasty wendy situation that i realized how biased they are. The vendor protection drives me fucking nuts. I get you protect your investors but theres also a time when right is right. And it also drives me insane these so called vendors are just middle men. i cant look at the shipping labels any more. i understand ppl have to make a living but charging a mark up to place an order?! i really try to support vendors when i can. perfect example
     qa1 coilovers-directly from spohn its free shipping anything over 500. vendor tacks on a 30 shipping and handling fee! wtf.
 i know im going off course sorry. back to vendor protection... there is no surprise the vendor is not making right given track record. what person that operates a "legit and fair" ship would have that vendor continue to do business under the board. shit if that was another member it would be a shit storm and they would be banned for  life.  one would think it would be fair across the board but i guess the powers that be would rather protect the guilty and drive away the innocent. yes that board may have a lot of "traffic" but they are all dikbags.


 its good to be in a place where you can be an asshole and get treated like one! i really hope weaver does right  by wendy but it may not hAPPEN it will get washed with all the other "rave" reviews his company has.\


And i was pissed that my comments were delted but i checked over it again and saw alot of others were too. thanks for being fair chArlie
