    Building a better handling turbo Regal.

    ...and I'm not talking about just for drag racing either (because I don't do that really). What real world enhancements are available or can be done to the Regal suspension and body to make it a tighter, better handling overall car without killing the ride? I've seen vendors selling coil...

    HELP - Nobody will insure the GN.

    USAA dropped the car, claiming it's too old. Progressive won't put anymore than liability on it. I checked into some classic car insurers but they have some truly ridiculous rules about how the car should be used, one wouldn't even allow me to use it to drive to work/school or run errands in...

    Who insures your turbo Buick?

    USAA notified me recently they will no longer fully cover my Grand National... I called around and it doesn't seem like anyone else will either. What companies does everyone use to insure their cars for their value?

    Auto Transporters - NEED ADVICE.

    I need to have my GN shipped across the country, and I've gotten a range of quotes to do so by various transporting companies, all under $1,000 which is pretty good. What should I be looking for when it comes to picking a good transporter service? I've considered driving the car to where...

    A pillar pod, what gauges would be the most important to have in it?

    Before you answer, I'm putting a GNX gauge cluster in my car with boost, oil pressure, fuel, water temp, all that good stuff. I'm probably going to put two gauges on the A-pillar and call it good, what two are a necessary evil for a modified turbo Buick? EGT and knock? Or something else?

    You have up to $5,000 to spend on the driveline, what do you do?

    That's right, 5k for the engine, transmission, and driveline for a bone stock and mint condition 1987 Grand National. Runs and drives perfectly. The goal is it must remain completely streetable, reliable and docile, retain decent gas mileage, and run on 92 octane fuel. 11s is all the faster...

    Good Source for AC/Delco Oil Filters?

    I've used Delco UPF52 Ultraguard filters on my GN for most of the time I've owned it. The GM parts wholesaler where I used to purchase cases of these filters is "no longer allowed by GM" to sell them and I can't seem to locate another place that can get them for me.

    '87 Turbo-T Limited, What is it Worth?

    My father is looking at purchasing a 1987 Turbo-T Limited, the seller is asking $13,800. Looked at the car the other day, it runs well except for some detonation/slight hesitation at WOT and high boost, the wheels need to be balanced, and the driver's side front brake shakes the car when...

    My WOT Problem my IAC/TPS/Timing?

    I've been dealing with the same hesitation/stalling problem at WOT for awhile now. Basically when the boost and RPM get way up there the car will audibly go "ka-chuck" "ka-chuck" "ka-chuck" or stall for a split second then do it again unless you take your foot off the gas. I've replaced...

    Durability mods that are worth it?

    I see vendors selling things like oil booster plates, valve cover breathers, stuff like that. Supposedly they repair defects on the engine/driveline. I was wondering if these parts are worth it, and what parts I should have on the car to help it be more trouble free? Also wondering if it...

    Wheel Spacers - Good/Bad?

    Looking to install GNX fender flares on my 87 GN with the Pontiac GTA style wheels. Are wheel spacers adviseable to push the wheels out just a little bit to fill the flares? What are the drawbacks? What size tires should I run on the car? Looking to run the same size tire on all four...

    Exhaust System Recommendations?

    Looking for a good true dual exhaust system for my 1987 GN, I also need a good set of exhaust headers to go with it since my driver's side header developed a nice big crack (and they are both an ugly rust color). I'm looking for a better performing exhuast/header system that is no louder than...

    Overboost?

    Last summer my car developed a "popping sound" and bucking at WOT at full boost (near or lighted red LEDs). I followed some advice I recieved and replaced a few things on the car and it never fully solved the problem. In addition when this problem was occurring the lines to the turbo were...

    GNX Wheels - Where Can I Get Them?

    Aaaaaand what size are they? 16" or 17"? What is the largest tire size I can fit at all four corners without rubbing when I turn? I plan on putting the same size tire at all four corners, not larger in the back and smaller in the front.
