    Refresh engine or leave it alone

    I think that was very good advice. Aside from the mentioned items, these engines are pretty bullet proof. Leave sleeping dogs along aside from those obviously needed things, would be my suggestion also. pax, smn

    First Real Drive

    :) Out here in the sticks where I tend to run across deer on the back roads, there is pretty much zero chance that anyone will pay anything to try to keep deer off the road. Its just impractical. Might work in the city. pax, smn

    Dirty Girl's stranded

    Ryan I had no real issues other than standard old nuts needing to be torched off when removing the OEM Y pipe to replace it and the cats. I am not sure why a shop that does exhaust would consider it a problem. pax, smn

    Yes, I would like deer detectors too. :) pax, smn

    First Real Drive

    I stopped going seriously fast on main roads decades ago, and now only do it on winding back country roads. Its more fun that way, and zero speeding tickets. pax, smn

    Dirty Girl's stranded

    Though if you have not put in a new fuel filer in 10 years, it might be a good idea to change that old one out also. pax, smn

    Back in the saddle

    Its a long time ago that the dyno work was done on this, so I could be remembering wrong. I do not think so, but one never knows. Some of the dyno charts might be still around on line. I have no idea where mine are any more. 29 at 5500 sticks in my head, but I will not swear to it without...

    Looking to buy 1st SHO

    Mine is in excellent condition and I have started to consider selling it, but as I am on the West coast of Canada, I suspect distance makes your considering it impractical. pax, smn

    Back in the saddle

    IIRC, and again, its been a long time, the sax air intake restricted the engine to about one quarter of the air it could demand, while after putting in an unrestricted cold air intake, the engine could get between three quarters and all of the air it wanted, depending on the shaping of the...

    Back in the saddle

    On a dyno the change to the air intake as per Porter produces significant results across the entire RPM range. I do not remember if anyone did a dyno test for removing the 3rd cat. pax, smn

    Good to hear that Doug is doing well. Never know with us old guys. You starting to have health problems, Eric? Hope you are well. pax, smn

    Looking to buy 1st SHO

    Summers in Nova Scotia are actually very warm. Less so out here on Vancouver Island. But sure, climate effects everything. I have only been in Nova Scotia and BC with the car, and none of the Gen IIIs I have seen in either place have the problem. I think it is mainly the sun. Further...

    Looking to buy 1st SHO

    I think the dash pad issue is determined by time in the sun for the car. My '98 was in the sun for only about 6 years, and has been under cover since, and has never had any problems in this area, so I am not convinced it is a materials question. Otherwise, I agree that aside from the cam...

    Back in the saddle

    +1. :) Yes, it is. However, and though I agree with almost everything that Ryan posted, I can say pretty confidently that yes, I have seen actual changes. It comes from being 70 years old and having the longer perspective. The problem, of course, is that climate does change all the time...

    Back in the saddle

    I put in the Magnaflow Y Pipe and cats and had no fitment problems at all. Bolted right up and tucked in correctly. Plus, they were actually close to the lowest cost replacement solution with new parts, rather than used. Used can certainly be done more cheaply. Do not expect performance...

    Interesting. Thank you. pax, smn

    Impounded

    Yup, stolen property will get things impounded too. :) I wonder who had to take the thing apart to get the engine out? pax, smn

    Impounded

    This can happen in a number of ways, depending on the jurisdiction. The driver might have failed a breathalyzer test, been driving well over the speed limit, had outstanding tickets, been driving while prohibited or without a valid license or vehicle permit. There are likely other things as...
