Here are some things I currently have listed on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231608192493?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/231608498808?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649...

I have a couple chips for a '87 GN. But I can't remember from whom I bought them. Or what features they have. I know I've had a Jay Carter variable timing chip in the past. And I used a MAF translator -- think I have a chip designed to work with it. Right now, I am looking at two chips. 1...

Cam bearing seized. Now I have a choice - new block, or machine it for a roller cam. Are there other options? Current block is stock, bored 0.040 over. Machined for RCJ girdle. A new block will have to have all that machine work done to it. Can it be machined for roller bearing cam? I...

Recently my turbo went out. It was the stock turbo, and the impeller broke off. Dumped oil out the exhaust. And my cam seized. No other damage to the engine. The cam was a roller one size bigger than stock. I bought it from Full Throttle, and that's what I asked for when I ordered it. I think...

I wrote this back in 2001. :eek: I never saved myself a copy, but if I do a search I can find some car forum I posted it on in 2001. :p If you've never seen it, enjoy! UNEASY RICER (sung to the tune of UNEASY RIDER by the Charlie Daniels Band) I was taking a ride out to Burger King...

A couple years ago I swapped out my stock digital dash in my '87 GN for a GNX-style one from Performance Instruments (Tom Houser). I lost my VSS in the swap, so I've been riding around with a paper clip to keep the converter locked. Visited the strip 4 or 5 times and raced it with the paper...

...would be nice.

How do our vendors expect us to effectively use these intercooler hoses that they're all selling? They're too short! Is there a vendor selling intercooler hoses that are all at least 1" longer?

Well, the ticking I've been hearing since Friday night isn't due to the rockers. It's an exhaust leak - sounds like from the driver's side. I suspect a cracked header. Now I have a philosophy that goes like this: whenever a stock part breaks, UPGRADE it. So maybe it's time to buy a nice...

I'm considering investing in a set of drag radials. I've had the Nittos before, and they worked well. What do you recommend? And why? These will be going to stock rims. I'm looking at size 275 50/15. Nittos performed well on wet roads. What about the BFGs? Thanks.

Mods are in my sig. Now I'm looking for some new rocker arms, and I'd like to hear you recommendations. Thanks.

Any of you ever had a problem with a broken seat in your G-body? It's a power seat, and it works. But something broke a while ago, and now the seat "rocks", as if one of the legs were shortened a bit. A friend of mine is a service manager and a Buick dealer, and I took it there to have him...

I don't see it on their site any longer. Some of you may remember they had a reproduction GNX rear suspension for ~ $2k. Is anybody making a GNX style rear suspension? Who makes decent suspension components? I'm not looking to turn my car into a cornering beast. But I would like to...

A while ago I bought an analog gauge cluster from a member who had a business making/selling them (he is no longer doing it). The gauges are all Autometer Phantom series. Two problems: 1. No VSS. The person I bought it from says he included it. But I gave everything to the shop...

Last week, my car overheated. I was cruising along, minding my own business, and I looked down and noticed the water temp gauge pegged to the right. :eek: I click the scanmaster over to CLT and see 286 and rising. I'm on the highway, south of Memphis, in a construction zone. Nowhere...

Overheated engine last week. At best, both head gaskets shot. At worst, cracked block. Don't know yet. But I'm assuming the worst. What are my options? I know TA Performance has AL block for $4k. Anybody still making iron blocks? If not, I guess a FE engine will have to be used/rebuilt.

I need a driver-side T-top for an 87 GN. Preferably locking. However, if you have only a pair you'll sell, I'll buy them both.

Who's got them? Or which vendor sells them? Thanks.

Those are the cars I lined up against at the drag strip yesterday evening. I don't know if drag strip races can be considered "kills" here, but what the hell. First up, the Calloway Camaro. Supercharged, 572 HP. :eek: I thought I'd get smoked. But the guy can't drive. I holeshotted...

My '87 GN's water pump developed a leak, I ran out of water and the car overheated. A couple valves seized in the heads (one in each I think), and the cam was wiped. Instead of fixing them, I bought a set of Champions and a bigger cam. (Whenever something breaks, it's my excuse to "upgrade...
