PontiacBonnevilleClub.com

So, one day I watched a television ad for new sparkplugs and I then realized my car needed new sparkplugs. Then I went to the store and purchased new professional platnium sparkplugs. Being the kind of guy who thinks he knows everything and can do anything, I instantly opened the hood to install my new sparkplugs. It turns out that the sparkplugs go into the engine and not box with one through six written on it. My day was ruined because now I had forgotten to write down the correct firing order. So I scanned the interent looking for the website with all the answers, (thats how I found pontiacbonnevilleclub.com). Well the next day I called the mechanic for a quickfix, he installed new sparkplugs and told me the plantium spark-plugs will burn to hot for your engine. Anyway my Bonneville (or SilverBird) has an inproved with new plugs. So, next time you try to everything without really knowing anything, Stop a miniute and think about it.

Platinum plugs just don't agree with the waste-spark ignition system on our motors, particularly Bosch. Bosch O2 sensors are in the same crap category for us as well.

Platinum plugs should NEVER be used in a supercharged or Turbo application. Welcome to the Forum!

I found it on a search when I got my SSEi in '07.

I was recommended by a member... I bought a '94 SSEi off of him (Well traded a '87 Fiero). I've been here since April 2006.

Welcome!

I joined right before the old site went down...I thought I had broke it and everybody left then I found Pontiac Bonneville Club and was happy again

Found it with a search when I was wanting to swap the steering wheel on my 95 SSEi with a 96-99 style (not possible).

Welcome!!!

I was directed here from another forum right as this forum went up in May of 08 after I had bought my 00 SSEi (RIP).

I don't even remember to be honest.. It was probably sometime around 2007. One of the earliest searches I did here was how to change the water pump on my 1997 SE, but i don't think that's how I discovered it.

welcome SilverBird!

I was 16 and searching for random Bonneville stuff on the interwebs. I'm 24 later this year

I found it searching how to fix the trunk release button in my 92 SE. I think it was in 06 I believe. Definitely before 07, thats when I got my 2000 SSEi

i found it back in 04 when i had my 97 se..i wanted to do a supercharger swap and read the techinfo article on how much of a PITA that is. After i was done crying i joined...and learned alot about my car..and went on to enjoy my SE as it was..

AH the good old days...

*dang* Jerry... You have been with us for a long time...

bought some parts off haro... he gave me the "official card" i joined immediately

Was told by a 3800 nut at the local Autozone to check this out for advice when I was having misfires on my '03 SSEI, turned out I needed a new coil, so I went ahead and put new wires and plugs also. Now she runs great!

'03 SSEI Black

When we got our silver '99 SE, I searched for bonneville clubs on google. joined at age 14, now 16

I actually found the site before I bought my SSEi. I joined in July of 2002 after I bought it. I think there were about 50 members at the time.

I found it about the same time as Bill in 02 when I was searching for performance parts on the internet for my SSEi.
I was young then. I'm 85 now.

Broken Foot could not get very far and was bored... Also wondered what I could do to get more out of the car... I was here before Willwren... Just barely... We have learned a lot over the years...lol

I had found similar online clubs when I owned an Aurora and a Cadillac, so I when I got my Bonneville, I Googled 'Bonneville owners' or something similar and ended up here. Funny thing, I ended up not getting the Bonneville I was going to get, but found another one a week later.
