    BUICK Trunklid Emblem

    I did a parts search for this emblem and noted that it is now discontinued. I search on several of the sites that sell discontinued items and the online parts network (partsvoice). No luck. My question is whether this emblem is needed by anyone? I have the opportunity to have them made, but...

    Motor Trend Article

    Just got my new Motor Trend magazine and read a column by Matt Stone regarding Nicola Bulgari, designer and producer of SUPER expensive Bulgari watches, jewelry, silver etc. Apparently, he's a BUICK NUT! Owns 70 of them including an 87 GN. The article mentions that he went to Buick with the...

    Aluminum Wheel Brightener

    I have found what I believe to be the absolute BEST brightener for our T-Type and Turbo T aluminum wheels. It is called Right Stuff Aluminum Brightener and I used it this weekend on a set of wheels and it worked absolutely GREAT. I don't think its a cleaner necessarily as I did not use it that...

    Day to Day Street Tires

    I've seen lots of posts about race tires and the biggest tires that can be put on the GNs, but my question is this. I would like 4 same size tires for rotational ease. I have experience with BF Goodrich Radial T/As in the 245/60/15 size. They fit very nicely and the fronts will only rub...

    Intercoolers in General

    I've been following a recent thread about a new horizontal intercooler. While at the SEMA show, I spent an hour discussing a new product a manufacturer had for turbocharged cars to cool the intake charge. I would like to know what people on this board think about it from an effectiveness or...

    Chip-Idle Question

    My 86 T-Type has all the fuel mods done, a TE-44 turbo, Racetronix 42.5 lb injectors, an ATR 2.5 inch down pipe, Hooker Exhaust with test pipe, and Red Armstrong 93 chip. The car runs very well and very strong. However, it doesn't idle particularly well (just seems to be a little rough/lopey...

    Electrical Question

    2 Electrical related questions. First, my lights tend to flicker a bit at idle when stopped at a red light. I know the wiring in these cars could be a lot better, but is there another explanation? The battery in the car is good, but a real el cheapo. The alternator is fairly new too, but...

    Vacuum Brake Conversion

    My 86 T-Type has undergone a Vacuum conversion by the previous owner. The car stops fine, but I've noticed that the pedal pressure is very firm, more like manual brakes than power (But not quite that bad). Is this normal? Should the pedal be fairly firm? Just wondering if something isn't...

    Testing Power Seat Motors

    I am in need of a power seat motor for my T-Type. They seem plentiful in the junkyards. Is there any way to Test them and see if they are working motors before buying and installing them? What about power window motors? Also, are there any motors that will work and are FASTER than the one's...

    Reproduction GN Rims

    Just returned from 2.5 days at SEMA in Lost Wages, Nevada. For those who have never been.....YES, it is absolutely HUGE and there's really no way to sum up or describe it. It is definitely something that the full impact is best achieved by experiencing it. Anyway, while there, we talked...
