    ARP engine studs

    The car is running 26 lbs of boost. I suspect the prior owners, given the non-OEM gaskets and ARP head bolts that are on the engine, got into the motor. God only knows if the bolts were even torqued to specification. I have to figure a lot out at this point. It is the lack of clarity as to...

    ARP engine studs

    The gaskets were not OEM. I do plan to replace the current gaskets with OEM. As I am the 5th owner, I do not have the stock bolts and I do not know why they were changed to ARP, other than someone has gotten into the motor before. Since tracking down a set of stock bolts is going to be tough...

    ARP engine studs

    I am the 5th owner of the vehicle, and I want to thoroughly clean the engine of debris and examine the bottom end, not just change out the head gasket. I will plan to replace all the gaskets at that time. I am running 26 lbs of boost, and I was using the ARP bolts when the gasket blew. Thus...

    Is this a clone, GNX163?

    Wow, what a coincidence. Let me know if you go to any local car shows this summer, would be cool to meet up. How many HP does your car have? Any modifications?

    I own GNX 163 Registry confirmed I am 5th owner, and I enjoy the car and continue to put miles on it. It had 65,000 miles on it when I purchased it. Car’s 3rd owner was in AZ and the last owner in Kentucky. It is now prowling the streets of NE Ohio.

    GNX Turbo Heat Shield. Reproduction

    I finally found one on this site, it took a while. Pete Hoffman, a well known member, has made these replicas in the past. I think he is currently working at RCG. He would be the best person to contact.

    Brian Lorenz at Lorenz Performance is absolutely phenomenal! He has worked on my GNX to not only help keep it on the road for many years to come, but also provide some performance upgrades and tuning so that it can compete with modern sports cars! The quality of his work is second to none...

    GNX Turbo Heat Shield. Reproduction

    I know! :) I’ve been searching for one of these for the last few years with no luck. I just want to have a good repro to cut and free up my exhaust with a 3 inch downpipe!

    Youngest GNX Owner

    Bought GNX at age 35. Had 86 Monte Carlo SS in my teens and still have it to this day. I had the Monte because it was affordable. I could not afford the GNX until age 35, the Monte Carlo satisfied my desires until that time.
