Anything below a 2.8” on a Gen V results in a more noticeable efficiency loss. Correct? Been a bit since I even thought about this, but that’s what I seem to remember. My car was tuned running running a Gen V w/ a 2.8” pulley while I was still back in Illinois. Now that I’m in Colorado, I’m...

So my 2006 Saab 9-7X with the 5.3 LH6 just started giving the “Oil Pressure Low” light for a few seconds upon start up. Once the engine is running, the oil pressure seems to stay in a healthy range. The car is still under a 3 Month/3K Mile warranty from the dealership I bought it from. I...

So I accidentally ended up buying a Saab this week. I had been casually looking for a daily to keep miles off my STi. My one condition was that it had to be AWD/4WD and could serve as a suitable winter mountain vehicle. I stumbled on this beauty and couldn’t say say no after the test drive...

So long story short, my 2019 WRX with 20k miles was a lemon. I had a case open with Subaru of America for over a year regarding my car not starting at higher altitude in single digit temperatures. I was eventually provided with a trade-assist voucher from Subaru. Ended up going with the car that...

Good Day Everyone, I haven't been as active in recent years, but I still lurk fairly consistently. I was hoping you could help me out by providing some guidance regarding my current situation. I bought a 2019 WRX in May of 2019. Life was good up until I started having issues getting my car...

Two major life events have occurred for me in the last month. The first is that I now live in Boulder, CO. The second is that I am a freshly conceived Mustang owner. It's a 2001 Mustang GT convertible. It has 104k miles, although it doesn't look it. The story I got was that it was previously...

Up for sale is my 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS. I bought this in September of 2015 with 129k miles. Currently stands at the 150k mark. Please forgive the lack of good pictures. I think these are the only two pictures I ever took of it. I moved to Boulder, CO last month and the Avalon is still back...

The Up for sale is my 2004 A4 Torrid Red GTO. I am the third TCG member to have owned this car. Bru and wombat had the pleasure of owning the GTO before I did. I currently have 4 other vehicles and am looking to trim the herd a bit. I do not drive it enough to justify keeping it. I...

So I just recently installed strut assemblies at all four corners. In the process of doing so, I found an unwelcome surprise waiting for me. The dreaded strut tower rust has finally come for me. A pic of what my driver side rear looks like is below. The passenger side rear is still clean. I have...

Towards the end of last season, I started noticing that my temp gauge was starting to creep up during any WOT or spirited driving. I haven't had a scanner hooked up to see the exact temp increase, I just know that it is enough to where it is noticeable to the point of seeing the needle come up...

I recently stumbled upon one of my friends selling a 2003 Avalon. I decided to pick it up because it seemed like a good idea at the time. This has led to me putting the ST up for sale and temporarily living life without a car payment. I am considering being a responsible adult and limiting my...

I have a 455/TH350 powered 85 Cutlass that has been a bit on the slower side since buying it last summer. I started digging into a little deeper after taking it out of storage this year. It turns out I have a 2.13 gear in the stock 7.5" 10 bolt rear end. I am looking to go with a 3.70/3.73...

I have talked to a few different people about the issues I am having with the th350 in my cutlass. It sounds like a sprag in the converter may have gone out. I just talked with with TSI about installing a built TH400 in place of the TH350. Anyone gone through them before for a built trans? He...

Now that I have pretty much decided upon keeping the GTO, it is time to start pricing out a cam install. For all those of you that have experience with the LS engines, I am looking for guidance on what I should and should not be doing. Based upon my previous research, I was considering either...

So I am contemplating selling the GTO this spring and require a guiding push in the right direction. The thing that makes this decision so hard is that I really, really like the GTO. However, I do not feel I drive it enough to justify keeping it. I have only put 5k miles on the GTO since...
