What did you do to your GN/TR today?

Hmmm I want more info about your wheels.

oil change, swap to nitto DR 275/60/15 and roll the fenders because 1 tire ripped my molding off.

That sucks about the moulding. I have the same size on my car and one of them has a couple of cuts in it but I took care of the problem area and still have the moulding.



One back spacer is all I needed.

Oh yeah, for me, I should be able to post pictures of my new motor in a couple of days. I cant wait!

My wife loves it, she's been supportive throughout, she knows I have dreamt of this car since I was a kid, she justs wishes I would finish it. Everyday I get one step closer, but I am kicking myself in the butt for not doing anything with it during winter.

My wheels are the custom offset SLP ZR1's made for 3rd gens. They are tucked in a little even without the GNX flares on, with them it's laughable. But I had planned on running some Skulte wheel spacers from the get go so I'm hopeful it all works out. Everyone that has some on their cars have said they have never had an issue, a shimmy, or a shake.

Got the front airdam mostly on, need to drill to fit the plates that go under the radiator support, and need to find a way to mark the trunklid so i can drill the holes for mounting the rear spoiler real soon, anyone have ideas on how to do this Jim

[waddell87]

Too funny mcasteel2112.

Last few days installed my 3 in DP and electric cutout(too COOL). Put my 28inch slicks on.. oh and changed IAC to BOP angle one. Sealed up my exhaust leak at the turbo-header flange... Take it out for a test run before heading to the track and.....NOPE...something wrong on the top end...Now I'm racking my Brains and waiting for parts. TOO boot have an exhaust leak at the Dough nut xrossover--Easy fix I hope. Other than that she's good as Black...I Hope. LOL

So tonight I focused on yardwork while there was daylight. But I affixed the grille badge. I drill into the back of the emblem, then I cut the head off of a #6 screw, dropped a nut on it with about 1/16th of an inch of the screw exposed on the one side. Then I stuck the exposed part into the hole, and epoxied it down. I touched up that 'BUICK' emblem that was already on the grille too. For the backing plate I grabbed a piece of sheetmetal that came from the fender where I put the louvers, cut it down to size and drilled to holes in it. Whalla, a TNX is born.

My goal is that even if I don't feel like working on anything that I need to do some part, however small it is because it's all adds up.

I have to coat the emblem with semi gloss urethane, then I am going to make a mold and cast a few in plastic for spares and a big keychain.

I'm restoring the TNX prototype, it was the GNX model based off the T-type/Turbo T. They put it in a crusher after deciding not to go forward so it's been a slow going restoration. Turbo National Xtreme model!!

[TR Custom Parts]

Headers, turbo drain and turbo feed with mini filter! Details soon.

[BlackMetal]

Looking good Mark!

Well I hope you at least stomped it when he did and left him in a trail of dust.

Long-delayed headliner replacement finally happening. Getting it out of the car was the easy part! Been sitting here scrubbing the old foam off for 45mins and still have half to do!
