Supples’ Pub

I installed them a month or so ago. I set them up pretty stiff because I was going to a track day and it rode fairly stiff but not unbearable. At the trackday I cranked them way up just a click or two away from full stiff and the car handled awesome. Everybody commented […]

It’s been one of those weeks. But on my way home today, detouring around the backed up interstate, a guy in a work truck honked to get my attention. We had a nice chat at a red light about what engine my car had, how good my exhaust sounded and he left me with a […]

Breaking news on the forum: only ten new 2006 GTO’s left on dealer lots. This is your last chance to grab the performance bargain of the millennium (you know, all 7 years into this millennium). Although, given the low numbers I’m sure dealers are being pricktards about price.

 
$30K for a 197HP/166TQ riced out Civic, or $30K for this?

I think I made the right choice

Edmunds Inside Line has a first drive of the Vauxhall VXR8 aka Holden Commodore SS aka Pontiac G8. What most stuck out to me was the curb weight noted: 4,037 pounds. This is about what I expected, given the larger sedan body built around a similar chassis as the GTO/Monaro.
The LS2 is of course […]

So, there’s a problem with the suspension settings on many cars FROM THE FACTORY, but no defect eh? Genius
And what are these tyre things? I have tires on my car
The US Government’s safety agency has ended an investigation into allegations of a safety defect on the Pontiac GTO, built by Holden. The alleged […]

The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and remove […]

OK bad pun aside, Jim posted a very clever and unique car commercial from Honda and I felt I had to share some of my favorites.
I first saw these commercials live on TV and I must say, it hooked me into the GTO back when I was still in high school.
Samuel L. Jackson, Terminator-esque music, and […]

It was mod weekend here at the Pub, where I finally got to a couple easy mods I’ve been meaning to get to on the Goat. You can view all of the pics and more, in high resolution glory, in this Flickr set.
The first was a long-awaited radar detector hardwiring. I have an Escort Passport […]

This is a dyno chart I came across on LS1GTO.com and if I ever get to modifying the Goat, this is probably the way I’ll go. This is from an LS2 6-speed with only long tube headers and a cam - cam specs below:

230/232 degrees intake/exhaust at 0.050″ (lift not specified yet, new cam)
