New tires and shocks on TATA. What a difference!
Had 13 yr old tires and decades old shocks.
My first set of MT's, really like the look. 245 front, 255 rear. Bilstein B6 shocks now at all 4 corners.
Ride is fantastic, huge difference.
While I had it on the lift I found many other things to do. Bought the car ten yrs ago and driven sparingly since, my wife now wants it as 'her' car for more daily driving so many things to do to make it safe and dependable.

Default GTO week

I only have time to look at my Pontiacs lately. Last weekend I drove up to Sunderland VT. to see the VSCCA Hillclimb at MT Equinox. Lots of vintage sporty cars there.
On the way home I stopped at the Wal-Mart in Bennington and picked up 6 quarts of Shell Rotella T-4 to perform an oil change on the Old Goat. Also filled a 5 gallon gas can with Ethanol Free High Test at the Stewart's Shop in Hillsdale to gas up the Goat when ever It comes out of hibernation next. Hopefully soon...

Tell me about it! I put new shocks and replaced the ancient tires on mine too, a few weeks back. Think the fronts were due?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
