#51 of 5865 Touring... by vwbus1979 Dec 08, 2000 (4:16 pm)
Some time ago, I posted information to this group on where you can get the chrome rims (Directly from the manufacturer, not the dealer) In the message, it has a phone number and a contact name of who you want to talk to ... The post also discussed the whitewall tires that can go with those chrome rims. (I already forgot the custom name for these tires...Anyone?) So with some digging, you can find that info. They were fairly inexpensive, too. Good luck! So tell me a little about your warranty. What kind did you get? How much was it? I paid $1400 for bumper2Bumper for another 50,000k. I feel that was a good number. If the tranny DOES drop, my warranty just paid for itself... Anyone know why the Olds book says change the tranny oil at 50k, but most other cars are 20k? Just curious!
#53 of 5865 Warranty vwbus by touringsedan Dec 08, 2000 (7:21 pm)
I got the warranty from warrantybynet. It is only for 30000 miles for $1000. It covers a lot of stuff and I can renew for another 30000 miles before I go over 100K. Check it out: www.warrantybynet.com. I will check past posts for the chrome wheels.

Nashville has a Jetchip dealer but I could not find the part number on the web last night. I will be calling them soon. Thanks again for the info on the autobahm pkg. Just another thing to kick the salespeople over. I was told that I had the pkg. Not a big deal now, the car runs so strong I can take on almost anything on the road. AS far as 103MPH, I think I have passed that but will check again soon. What happens when the car exceeds this speed, I hope that it does not stop or does the power go away? Going to enjoy this test. I am open to more ideas on improving speed/performance and handling.

Well, two things. 1. I do not have the autobahn pkg. Shutdown at 103MPH crap!!! 2. Called Jetchip, the new module does not defeat the shutdown issue. double CRAP. But Prestige Custom Wheels can help me with the Chrome wheels. thanks everyone.
#56 of 5865 My limit is 110 by vwbus1979 Dec 08, 2000 (11:10 pm)
Umm...Not that it's "legal", but I've pegged my sweets at 110mph, then suddenly it just backs out...Not a good feeling when you want to move forward... My guess is that if you are nice to your GM dealer, you can still get remnants of the Autobahn package. I don't want the spoilers and CD players, just gimme the horsepower and firmer steering!! With the right tires and chipset, you can easily bury the speedo...I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be doing 140 in a 4400lb car!

Those old aluminum block iron head V8s that Cadillac built from 1982 to about 1989 were very troublesome, especially the 4100 from 82-87. The later models from about 90 on were better but the best thing Cadillac did was dump this whole engine series in favor of the Northstar.

This must be national Aurora month. The November 27-December 3 issue of Autoweek features the 2001 Aurora 4.0 in its Autofile section. Interestingly, several owners who sent in comments remarked that they have had no problems with their cars as of yet. Let's hope Olds has worked out the quality bugs. I'm seeing more of the 2001 models around Harrisburg, Pa. I hope they catch on, for Olds' sake! The January 2001 issue of Road & Track features the 1995-99 Aurora in its Owner Survey section. Sadly, "reliability/durability" is listed by owners as one of the cars five worst attributes. Nonetheless, owner comments were enthusiastic about the car, especially about the performance and the distinctive styling. At least Olds put out a car that generates some enthusiasm and pride of ownership, which is exactly what GM in general and Olds in particular need right now.
#60 of 5865 Limits and other thoughts by touringsedan Dec 09, 2000 (7:09 pm)
I really do not need to go that fast all the time, but I would like to know that I am not limited by someone's idea of too fast. My 89 Touring Sedan stills runs over 110MPH with missing a beat. The TS is a great car. It went the way of the Classic ARoarA too. start getting it right the stop production or change it so much it does not look worth buying. I still have a few years on this 96 then it will be a 99 in 2004. Maybe by then the new body style will look ok. Do you know any part numbers for the Autobahn pkg besides QQX? I am beginning the search. What do you think about a rear spoiler? I have seen them and it does add a different look. Just wondering.
