'87 Buick Grand National. Bought it in '01 with 23.5K miles, now has 40K miles. NOT A SPOT OF RUST OR BODY FILLER ANYWHERE! Meticulously maintained, Mobil 1 always in the engine. Good original paint (a few laquer cracks & rock chips, nothing terrible). Excellent interior. No rain or snow, always...

Getting out of Buicks sale Terry Houston 3” stainless steel downpipe w/dump pipe. Visible surfaces polished (under-car portion and under stock turbo shield are not). Very good condition, no dents, dings or repairs. $375 T/A Performance 8.5” 10-bolt rear end girdle. Very good condition, no...

I thought I'd seen it all. Then this. Got back from a trip to Russia last week. Spent some time in Moscow. Quite an incredible city, and obviously very wealthy. Walking down the street on the way to New Arbat, I saw Ferarri's, Maserati's, Porsches, top-of-the-like Benz's, and no less than...

Who's seen these commercials? I can't help but laugh like hell every time I see them. Anytime a ricer is destroyed, it can't be bad. :D Time to un-pimp za auto! Steve

Happy New Year to everyone. :) I'm planning on finally upgrading my stock turbo and IC to a BB turbo and FMIC this year. Right now, I have a hotwired Walbro 340, 009 42.5# injectors, 2800 stall 9x11 L/U converter, stock heads and cam. I'll probably upgrade the cam when I do the timing...

Yesterday was my girlfriend Jodi's 29th birthday, we've been dating for about a month now, and her family never really does anything special to celebrate birthdays (unless it's for her kids). So being the nice guy I am, I thought I'd take her out and show her a good time. We went to the...

And man, was I nervous. :o It tool a little bit of prep, but it paid off. I took the THDP off, put the stock DP and a universal catalytic converter on it. Taking some advice from Quick6'n'-K.C. that my car was running rich, I turned the FP down to 38psi line off, put my old PTE 20º street...

I finally got around to trying out my Hoosier QTP's this weekend, and tried a few street launches. I never had any serious knock before (less than 2º before the alky kicked in), but I had severe traction problems on Hoosier 275/50D15 QT's). Not anymore. These tires are bad ass. :cool: I can...

OK Guys I need some help. I bet you audiophiles may get a good laugh at this :o but I need some advice. 2 years ago I put a system in the GN, using the product advice from Crutchfield and Circuit City, but a stupid mistake resulted in a blown amp. I’ve since had it repaired, and want to put the...

Just got the July issue of FSC mag, there's a 4 page article in there about what it generally takes to build a 10-second Turbo Buick. I've just scanned through it, seems pretty interesting. I was pleased to see a TR article in FSC, I think it's the first time I've even seen a TR mentioned in...

I'm about to get my 28x11.5x15 Hoosier QTP's mounted to my 15x8.5 Convo Pros. Hoosier says they are a tube type tire, but you don't necessarily have to run them. What's the general opinion here? Should I run them or not? If I do, I'd guess I would have to install wheel rim screws? Steve

Anyone going? http://www.hemmings.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/events.musclepalooza

Hey guys, I'm about ready to install my new TurboTweak chip :cool: But I seem to have developed a problem with my TCC lockup switch....it just won't lock the TCC! I've re-wired the switch, replaced the switch itself but I need to know if/how much voltage I should see at Terminal "F" on my...

About 2 years ago, a good friend of mine got bit by the musclecar bug hard, and bought a nice black ’68 Camaro. I still remember the day we drove to Portland, Maine to pick it up. He was stoked, and so was I. Finally, a friend with a nice GM product to race! For 2 years we raced quite a bit...

My GN won't shift into OD at WOT. It just stays in 3rd gear. But if I back off to about 7/8 throttle, it hits OD (pretty hard I might add) and the car takes off almost like it has a 75 shot of N2O. Once it's in OD, I can gas it a little bit more, but if I floor it, it'll downshift into 3rd gear...

Got this link off www.realoldspower.com Interesting slide show of dragstrip lauches. No TR's though. :( Click on "slideshow" at the top RH corner of the page. http://jbsdragracing.com/v-web/gallery/slideshow.php?set_albumName=Grabbed-Frames

A couple buddies and I will be heading down for the PRO/Edelbrock Fastest Street Car event on Friday the 27th, there's Friday Nite Grudge matches, and Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th is the NMCA race! Can't wait, we haven't gone to one of these in a few years. Anyone else going...

I'm on my way over to my brother's place tonight, gonna cook up some burgers & dogs on the grill. Not in a big hurry or anything, and I'm not really one to pick on the imports, most of 'em are too easy for the GN. I pull up to the stoplight to turn right onto International Drive, a nice, long...

I have the SMC kit on my car, tuned pretty well. If I put my 26º race chip in the car, I get some transitional KR at WOT (<5º), but none with the 20º street chip. I really wanted to eliminate it altogether, so I added a gallon of xylene to the 5 gallons of 93 in the tank. Lo and behold, the...
