    💦 Detailing Ceramic coating on my Buick

    When I bought this car 8 years ago, I thought it was just about perfect. I'm not sure if that's because it actually was a lot nicer back then or if I've just noticed a lot more issues with it since I started digging into it. Regardless, the paint has seen better days. It still looks great in...

    🔧 BUILD Worst car ever on TCG? Rusty forgotten Olds diesel.

    I don't know why I said I was interested. It's probably going to get dropped off at my buddy's place where it'll sit until it's scrapped because I have no interest in figuring out the title issue (owner is deceased) and Im not spending anymore than a couple hundred bucks to make it run and...

    3800 Comp roller rockers

    A guy on Facebook is selling Comp 1.6 roller rockers for a 3800 for $100 and I'm intrigued. I've never heard of these being an option. Does anyone know anything about them or the pedestals? Looks like they're linked at the trunnion? Was this something that was actually offered or is it a...

    🔧 Technical TIG welding in the basement

    I feel like it's time to buy my own TIG welder. I think I've chosen which machine I'm going to buy, but that's a whole another topic. I need to decide where I'm going to put it. I'm very tight on space as it is. The machine I'm interested in is a dedicated TIG unit so my current MIG machine...

    Gaming Is this worth anything? Roller Coaster Tycoon in OG box.

    None of my CD drives and I know you can download the game with expansions for like $5. I only have the OG box and manual, but a Loopy Landscapes disc is included. I'm guessing it's as good as trash, but I figured I'd ask. I know there are still some serious freaks for this game.

    Indian Steel Mill Explosion

    Brutal. Im a little bitch about slag getting in my boot while MIG welding. This kind of pain is just unfathomable to me. Don't watch the video if you do t want to see people on fire. I can't believe the dude just walking around up there is alive...

    💸 For Sale Does anyone like old stereos?

    I think they're cool in a nostalgic way, but I really have no desire or knowledge to fix them. Free for the taking. I'd be willing to bring them up to the Chicago land when the weather gets nicer. One is an old Pioneer tower from the mid 80s. Dual tape deck, AM/FM radio, Phono, AND CD player...

    🔧 Technical Is powder coating a good option for my intake manifold?

    Should I have my cast aluminum intake manifold powder coated? Before I modified the hell out of it I just painted it with black engine paint. It looked nice for a couple years, but corrosion took over and made it look terrible. I do have a sandblaster now which should help keep the paint...

    Posting tool bar is grey on mobile

    I've asked about this before but never got a resolution. I can only post GIFs, search smiles, and use the image insertion tool on desktop. Posting pictures on mobile means attaching them first then inserting. Not a big deal, but no GIF searching on mobile sucks. The tool bar is grey whether...

    🔧 Technical Filling Injector Holes in Intake Manifold - Epoxies vs. JB Weld?

    I am plugging the injector holes in my intake manifold because my new cylinder heads already have them downstream. This leaves an unnecessary protrusion into the runner that I ported out. The bitch of it is that there's a big crater where the plug couldn't go deep enough. My welder couldn't...

    🔧 Technical Swapping PCM in 2002 Camaro V6 - How to fix gauge cluster issues?

    Hi AI, I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on my conversion. I want to install a 1998 V6 PCM into my 2002 V6 Camaro. Will I have gauge cluster problems? If so, how do I fix them?

    3800 Tres Eight Lounge

    Not that I've had an issue with all the spit-balling and randomness in my build thread, but I figure there's enough off topic ramblings and ongoing conversations about 3800s to have a spot for non-threadworthy ideas, banter, rants about facebook pages, bench racing, ect. I'll start. Dammit...

    HPTuners now has a stand alone ECU

    I knew it was only a matter of time. So far it's only plug and play units for LS cars. I'm sure that support for factory PCMs is going to start tapering off really fast...

    🔧 Technical Improving Front End Design of My F-body for Upgrades

    My POS is apart for upgrades and I'm tired of looking at this abomination of a vertical radiator. Everything about this is crap. Part of me was ready to just saw the whole front end off and weld in an RSM tubular kit, but I think that's way overkill and more work than I want to put forth given...

    WTF DHL?

    Does a DHL security check consist of just sticking a fucking knife into my package and then just taping it up? It's pretty obvious that that's all that happened here because there's no way they opened the box using that gash. There's a small scratch in the gasket but I really had to look for it.

    3800 Interchanging alternators

    I was putting my Grand Prick back together and noted the differences and similarities between the tensioner/alternator bracket and the same part from the Camaro. I always thought the FWDs had the tensioner clocked way different but it doesn't. The Series 3 has very different alternator...
