What have you done to your TGP/TSTE lately?

[GPChief]

There are places in CA and elsewhere that can fix that rim.

This summer has been a waste of time I swapped the head earlier this year and found out it is cracked, but I lucked out and picked up a spare set. Plus I have no extra cash for the new gaskets I need so I haven't gotten to race with the new chip from Flybynite :icon_frown: My Black TGP is running okay need to swap the trans filter and flush the trans and find out where my miss is.

I finally installed the Pressure accumulator in my Black TGP so I can stop now yay for me. Now I need to swap the injectors out.

Changed oil (hadnt been done since '09) Guess the car sat for a while  :icon_eek:

Changed plugs, air filter, fuel filter.  Car runs MUCH better now.  Now I just gotta tackle the annoying electrical stuff and see about a place that will give me some R12, cuz its hot outside!!!

Convert to R134a and be done with it.  ;)

Changed trans fluid and filter... 
Fluid came out kinda dark and only 5.5 quarts!!!!  :icon_eek:  It took 7 quarts to fill it up, I didnt drive it too much like that, but I am wondering where all the fluid went cuz it doesnt leak

The previous person that worked on the car probably didn't fill it up correctly.

Hey guys I replaced the oil return line on my Black TGP. and now I have to get a new fuel line :icon_rolleyes:

[redgrandprix]

braided!

[GPChief]

Braided what?

[Gibby]

Braided fuel lines...

Today I pulled the fins on the condenser, not nearly as hard as people make it seem, but my hands are cut up..  I also completely deleted the hoses going to the throttle body and plugged the lines, so now there is just the coolant line running to the turbo. 

I wasnt sure if this was a good idea, because it was removing a bypass of coolant, but I read a post from Chris A that says theoretically it should be ok *crossing fingers*  http://www.w-body.com/archive/index.php/t-1769.html

I am also going to drill a small hole in the T-stat to hopefully ease any issues...

[GPChief]

Could you post some pics or do a parts list of the braided fuel lines.

[redgrandprix]

ill get some close up pics of it, i only have 1 braided fuel line, the other one is normal, i would tell you the parts but i got the car this way and don't know what the previous owner used just that he did it to mount a fuel pressure sensor for an autometer gauge

flat black tgp is gone... crushed .   the rear suspension actually caved into the unibody ... northeast car + tons of launches - served as a great test bed for my holset/ 5 speed setup but now all the bugs are out, everything is getting swapped into a clean red tgp w/ 80k.    maybe ill start a build thread when it all goes back together....    we need to see some more action around here.

Agreed.  I check the forum at least once a day.  It's a surprise to find anything new.  I have been doing a little here and there on mine, hopefully I will be doing more this spring.  I'll post some.  I am more active on the W-Body forum.  Seems like no one would notice if I posted here.  :-(
