Beautiful!

It appears to be in great shape.  That has got to be the only Pontiac in Istanbul, the only pontiac in Turkey at that.  And if the person posted the milage correct, at 89000 Km, that is only a bit over 55000 miles.  That car needs to come back to the US.

I *think* that is the AC condenser drain boot.  I don't have my car here to verify that.  There is a tube that comes thru the firewall on the passenger side about 16 inches or so down from the top.  That boot slides over the tube.  I think it's there to minimize debris from getting in and to keep the water from just running down your firewall.

Doesn't anyone know the answer to my question above :?:

I have a similar questions so instead of starting a new thread I'll just ask here.  I replaced my tie rod ends yesterday because I was getting some pull in my steering.  All went well with that but while I was doing it I noticed my ball joints need replacing (probably more then my tie rod ends did).  I got onto www.rockauto.com and looked to see what they have.  Two parts come up.  One is a Moog part number K5301 and the other an AC Delco part number 45D2148.  The thing I found interesting is the eight digit number in parenthesis after the description (88911642, hmm, looks kind of like a GM part number!?).  I looked that part number up on gmpartsdirect.com and it comes up as a "joint kit".  I know that as per GM the part number for our ball joint is 17989117 but does anyone know if 88911642 is a joint that is for our cars?  Maybe it's an upgrade?  Also, how do the AC Delco joints compare with the Moog or TRW joints?

NICE!  8)

QuoteYou'd also get noticed walking down the street w/ no pants on and a turd hanging out of your ass. That guy needs to decide whether he wants a black TGP or a Red TGP.

Thanks Jay, didn't know that!  It's an opinion; I can have one, right?

I kind of like it.  You would definately get noticed in that car.

Great story Jeff, thanks for sharing.  I can never get anyone to race me.  It doesn't matter what car I'm in, the GTP or the Turbo, no one ever bites.  I guess it's OK, I just save it up for the strip.

Does anyone have a picture of this clip?  I'd like to try to fabricate something that would work.  Right now I just have some tie straps holding them in and it looks horrible.

Hello all.  I'm looking for a seat control module.  It's a black box located under the driver seat about 2in x 2in x 2.5 in.  It's the box that contains the relay's that control the inflate/deflate/cutoff of the pump.  My inflate relay is shorted so I need to replace it.  If anyone has a spare that they would be willing to sell I would really appreciate it.

I'm also looking for a passenger side back seat ash tray to match the tan interior.  Mine is missing.  Anyone have one?

OK, I think I might have finally isolated the problem, hopefully for real this time.  I found that the foil run that was repaired actually opened up again so I decided to just solder in a wire to correct the problem.  That kind of worked.  The deflate side of the house worked but inflate was not working.  I troubleshot it down to the control panel once again and found another foil run that had opened.  At this time I knew there had to be something else causing the problem since I knew that had just happened.  I needed to isolate the problem between the lumbar seat switch panel, the seat control module (under the seat), and the pump (also under the seat).  I disconnected the lumbar seat switch panel and jumpered between input power and the inflate activation wire, no good (lumbar seat switch panel OK).  Then I opened up the seat control module to manually activate the relay to see if the pump would turn on, it did (pump good).  So now I knew the seat control module was the culprit.  Just for fun I tested the inflate relay and found that the thing is shorted out.  The other two relays read 70-75 ohms across the windings.  So now I'm in need of a seat control module, anyone have a spare?  gmpartsdirect.com wants $57 for one but I'd rather get a used one if possible.  I'll post this over in the For Sale topic as a WTB so it will get some more attention.  I really want my seats working again.

Yeah, I would stay clear of that shop.  It sounds like they don't know what they are talking about.  I have the Ultra Flo's on my car and they sound great.  A bit louder then stock but still very quiet.  On these cars the turbo buffers the exhaust tone considerably.  That is why so many people are running straight pipe and are happy with it.

Well, I thought I had the problem fixed but now there is something else wrong.  I had my guy fix the foil run on the circuit card and they did a fantastic job.  I was excited to get it home today and plug it in to test it out.  Well, I hit the switch, heard the pump start, and about a tenth of a second after it stopped and wouldn't do anything else.  Driver and passenger, all functions not working again.  No blown fuses, no visual damage.  Now it's back to troubleshooting tomorrow to see if I can find what else went bad.

Dang that is one good looking car.  I really like the chromed intake pipe!  It's got me thinking.
