    Front End Bolts - Fenders/Header Panel/Radiator Support

    Does anyone know where to get all new bolts for the entire front end sheetmetal? I don't want to have fresh paint everwhere and have 33year old bolts and clips. Does anyone make a kit with all of the bolts and retainer nuts you need to put the whole front end back together?

    VintageAir G-Body Kit

    I have my 86 pulled completely apart and was originally just going to go full AC delete and blank it over. Anyone do the Vintage Air kit available through Nick/GNS? Not having air or heat will limit driving the car a little I am sure so I am reconsidering the decision. Any thoughts gentleman?

    Aluminum Wheel Wells

    I swear I saw somebody made preformed inner wheel wells for our cars but after a pretty extensive search I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know who makes them? They look like this:

    Cleaning the Frame

    I am in the process of putting a Detroit Speed Suspension on my 87 GN and I figured I should clean up the exposed parts of the frame a little bit and POR-15 it. The area under the upper A arm cleaned up pretty good with some brakecleen but the rest of it has something else on it. Not sure what...

    Take it to the primer or bare metal

    86 GN is in for a full paint. Body is in very good shape with almost no rust. The questions is take it down to bare metal or can we stop at the primer. I have heard that if the primer was baked on and is in good shape it is better to stop there. What do you guys think?

    Casper's XFI to gn converter-does the red led ever go out?

    Mine seems to be on all the time. I am getting ready to bury it in the stock ECM enclosure and want to make sure it makes sense before I do it. Is it a power drain?

    Shameless Plug for Cal Hartline / FAST USB Driver

    Shameless plug for Cal. Fired up the 87 GN after buying the FAST XFI 2.0 from him almost a year ago and walked through the initial tweaks with him. Car runs great. Idle, off idle and driveability are awesome, the car has literally never been this friendly to drive. Biggest issue was getting...

    New Car to keep the GNs company

    Good Car Week this week. New TA motor from Nick Micale arrived on Wednesday and today I bought a 2007 Corvette Z06 today with 2600 miles! First corvette and a good addition to the collection. Certainly not as fast as the 86GN, maybe not even as quick as the M3 but cool nonetheless. Pics when...

    Drag Shocks

    Does anyone run drag shocks on the street? My 86 is primarily a street car that makes an occasional track pass. Are there any downsides to running Competition Engineering Drag shocks on all 4 corners on the street?

    ECM Upgrade - What is current thinking?

    Guys, it has been a while. I have an 86GN that is converted over to XFI (courtesy of Bill Andersen) so I have been out of the "stock" or near stock spectrum for a while. I just bought a 87GN that is almost stock (Red's 93 chip) and has not been driven since 2003. What is the current thinking...

    Anderson Performance

    Just got my car back from Bill's shop from my XFI/83# injector install. Immaculate install, very good service. You guys can not believe how much better these cars run with the XFI. I have had it for 4 hours and it is a winner. Couple tweaks and my 21 year old car, starts, runs and idles...
