    I spotted this TTA sitting in a parking lot with no tags in MA. Anyone here?

    I was driving around aimlessly on Sunday morning with a cup of coffee as I generally do and spotted this thing about 30 mins from where I live. I had to turn around and take pics. Has no plates. Looks like it's been sitting for a bit b/c of the grime but the tires have air so who knows. I'm just...

    Did Buick lease out Turbo Buicks when they were new?

    Draining my coolant today, should I bother with the block plugs?

    I ordered some rmi25 and was just going to drain the fluid from the rad only and refill with distilled water only and rmi for the summer. Obviously there will still be some coolant in the system. Will this be ok?

    Has anyone ever converted a TR to a manual tranny?

    I know all the reasons why one shouldn't do it but I still wonder if it's been done with the LC2 still underhood? Anyone know if this has happened? Any pics? Thanks. BTW: I'm not looking to do it but the thought of a manual GN does appeal to me.

    87 GN cutting out/not accelerating

    Hey guys, on the way home from work today my GN decided it didn't feel like accelerating. Every time I stepped on the gas it would cut out and bog. I have a Scanmaster in the car and it's not throwing any codes. I know it has gas in it and I looked under the hood and don't see anything that's...

    Well I did the F-Body radiator, my thoughts

    All things considered for those thinking about it, I would've gone with a nice stock style radiator instead. By the time you add up all the nonsense that I needed to make the swap happen (longer hoses, oil cooler, misc fittings) trying to find a place to make the hoses, then I overtightned the...

    Saw a WE4 for sale road side in MA

    Just wondering if it is anyone's here? Looked super clean and stockish and it had some printouts from WE4.com on the dash along with the For Sale sign. I was on my way back to the office from the N Attleboro DMV and even though I was running late I still had to stop and admire it. Just wanted...

    Hi Guys, are these fittings still available from Buick?

    I need to more of these to go on the ends of my external oil cooler so I can thread on my extended lines and the Buick dealer near me won't help me unless I have a VIN. If anyoine knows where I can get (2) more that would be great too. Thanks. [/IMG] This is the fitting that screws into...

    Is there someone here that I can order custom oil cooler and tranny cooler lines?

    I'm running into alot of dead ends with local hydraulic shops and supposed Aeroquip dealers in my area. I just did the F-Body radiator install in my GN and now I need longer oil cooler lines to go to my external oil cooler and lines to go from the hard lines from the tranny to the radiator (not...

    Going with an f-body radiator/external oil cooler

    I've done alot of reading and searching and wanted to make sure this external oil cooler will be ok? B&M 70266 - B&M SuperCooler Oil Coolers - summitracing.com Will I need anything else besides this? Will the existing lines work? Also the stock tranny cooler lines should work with the...

    Coolant puked/engine got hot

    Hi guys, I'm a noob so bare with me but I had my GN out and about yesterday cruising around and had the scanmaster set to coolant temp reading. It got to 260 before I pulled over and shut it off and had it flat bedded home. As you can see it puked up some coolant and the coolant was boiling in...

    GNX prototype article in the new Hemmings mag

    I just received the new issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines and there's a nice writeup on an 86 GN "GNX prototype". Call me a noob but I didn't know such a car existed. It doesnt have an official badge number and is supposedly the only one of 7 remaining. Anyway, I'm sure alot of you probably...

    I am going to submit a new tax structure to the legislation regarding automobiles.

    So I've been thinking, certain automobiles seem to be moving further and further away from a fun/enjoyable hobby for most enthusiasts and closer to an investement strategy for greedy hoarding collectors/investors. To curb some of this nonsense I have come up with a few loose ideas that would...

    Let's see those not so perfect TRs

    I have an "in progress" GN that has been in progress for 2+ years now. Would like to see some other "not show perfect" TRs to let me know I'm not alone. Rust, bad paint, wasted interiors, used and abused, etc. Let's see those "rat rod" Buicks. Please. We all can't have perfect cars and seeing...

    I bought a AutoMeter Sport comp boost gauge and installed into correctly I believe, the problem I'm having is that it reads -5 vac. What could be causing this? My stock boost gauge works so I'm stumped. I made sure that plastic tube has no kinks (I did put a couple kinks in while installing...
