Just a heads up to all the Buick owners out there that my GN was almost stolen. Thanks to the kill switch I had installed they were unable to take it. They popped out my passanger side lock and messed up my steering column and ignition pretty bad. When I got to my car and noticed it the car was...

I was wondering if anyone in the Tampa area could help me with some brake problems. I was recently at a car show and another Buick guy told me someone around here has a great brake conversion kit to get rid of my failing Powermaster unit. If anyone has any information about this please contact...

Helloe everybody right now I am looking to have an 87 GN motor rebuilt and freshened up. I live in the tampa area and was wondering if anyone has dealt with Cal Hartline in Melbourne FL. I was curious if anyone knows about how long it takes for him to freshen up a motor like new bearings gaskets...

Went to Bradenton drag strip last night (10-7) with my car for the first time since I had it rebuilt. Every time I ran I got lined up with an import. Of course I won all 6 times I even raced 2 turbo imports not sure what they were. My last run I was set to run a new turbo Neon and the track guy...

I finally got a scanmaster last week to pinpoint some problems I have been having with my GN. One thing that is bothering me is the o2 readings, are the supposed to stay in a certain range rather than jump around. My readings go from 84 to 800 to 472 and all over in between. I just installed a...

I was watching the Cubs game yesterday on Chicago's WGN and afterwards while I was eating dinner a show called Mutant X was on. In a couple of the scenes it showed two of the characters sitting in a 87 GN. You could see the turbo 6 on the headrest as they sat in it. They however did not show it...

after about 5 months my engine is finally going together. When it seemed to be going well another problem came about. I need pushrods for a Comp Cams 210 Hyd. roller cam. Does anyone know the size pushrods I need? please help I can hardly wait any longer for my car to get back together. The...

I went to the track again last night and can't seem to improve on my ET. My best was a 13.34 at 107.52 mph with only a max of 20 pounds of boost. My first question is why can't I get more boost on my TE-44 turbo? I had the wastegate rod all the way in and it wouldn't go above 20psi. Second how...

Finally got my car to the track in Gainseville. First run I have my Ultra chip on 4 and run and do a 14.4 at 100mph I figure not to bad for the first time right. I got a total of 4 runs in and on the last one I put the Ultra chip on 7 (the highest setting) and I ran a 13.34 at 106 but the weird...

I was interested in putting a 50 shot Nitrous system on my car to help it off the line and get faster spool up. With the things listed in my sig. does anyone see a problem that needs to be addressed before I go and buy the system? Know that I only plan to run 100 octane gas when I am going to...

I just got the October issue of GM High Tech Performance and inside is an in depth article on the new aluminum block and heads coming soon from TA Performance. The article is great in describing some of the features and it says it may even be better than a stage block! No price listed yet but...

I'll finally be going to the track to race my car. Hopefully it won't rain like it has been by me for the past week or so. Rich Braccia from Victory Trans. will also be coming with me but unfortunately without his car due to a blown head gasket. I would really like to see some other Buick guys...

Another Saturday night of racing out in the boonies of Ocala FL. Only had 2 races last night one with a stock MR2 who thought he had a chance. Needless to say I killed him bad. Also raced a loud Mustang from a group of people who said if I beat them they had a fast RX7 I could race. I beat the...

Just curious how many of you Florida turbo Buick guys went to the NHRA Gatornationals this past weekend. I did and being my second time going I'll never get tired of it. i am just waiting to get my GN to the track to see what it can do.

I raced my buddies new Nissan SER Spec V today. Even with my bad Goodyear Eagle GT 2 tires on smoking all the way from 1st to 3rd I beat him bad. When I looked back to see where he was he was about 10 car lenghts back and I was doing about 125 mph. The Nissan is a nice car but even my friend...

I saw a GN going the oppisite way on Friday October 11th at about 4:10 pm on Sr 200 by the Sam's club. If that person is on this board I'd like to possibly meet or something like that. I was in my 87 GN going south if you saw me coming out of Sam's. Either email me or poat here. It'd be great to...

I am looking to get a Terry Houstan 3 inch downpipe where can I get one and see specs on it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a call out to anyone close to the Hernando area? I'm a pretty new to town and I would like to get together with other Turbo Buick owners in the area. Either to hang out and talk about cars or even race and compare these fine automobiles. I usually hang out at the Wendy's on Rt. 19 in...
