General Buick Tech / Turbo Options
« on: June 25 2020, 07:40:00 PM »
Lets talk about turbos.  My Limit Engineering TA61 just recently started smoking at idle.  Only put 6,000 miles on it in 15 years of street driving, but I like to get on it when the opportunity exists.  Is there a similarly sized modern turbo with better characteristic s, or should I just send in my old tech turbo for a rebuild?  Combo below will stay the same except for the turbo.

Transmissions / Torque Converter Lock-up speed
« on: March 28 2020, 12:14:00 PM »
I have been driving my car lately after replacing my broken bumper fillers and notice that the torque converter is locking up at 70 mph.  It seems a little high for me driving unless at interstate speeds.  I believe the stock lock up speed is 48 mph.  Does anyone have any opinions for what speed might be best for street driving?

General Buick Tech / Power Seat
« on: April 02 2018, 11:55:41 AM »
Looks like my driver's side power seat has given up the ghost.  It sounds like it is stripped out and won't move.  Does anyone know if it is repairable or do I need to source another mechanism?

Paint and Body / Bumper filllers

So my front right bumper filler has now completely disintegrated.  Do I get the Highway Stars flexible plastic or the Spool Fool fiberglass?

IHADAV8 Playground / RIP my Pontiac G8 GT
« on: June 22 2015, 01:12:46 PM »
Please let us have a moment of silence for my 2009 Pontiac G8 GT.  My insurance company totaled it after I was hit in the driver's side rear wheel area.  Luckily no one was injured.  It did not look too bad to me, but the repair shop said the frame was bent.  USAA did me right and paid me a fair price for the car.


In order for me to cope with the pain of my loss, I have purchased a 2015 Chevy SS.  It is as if my G8 was reincarnated into a much more refined and better car.  The 3rd gen mag ride is amazing as well as the stopping power of the 14" Brembo brakes.  It is absolutely the best handling car I have ever driven.

Transmissions / Trans not shifting into OD

My trans is not shifting into OD.  Other than that everything else seems to be working fine.  Anyone have any ideas?

First time in 6 years I have washed my car.  So happy to be driving it again.  Runs so well, I don't want to mess with it any more and just drive it! :rock:
