Hi, I have a set of TRW VL73 lifters that Lawrence Conley sent me back in the early nineties for my old GN. I never used them. Does anyone know if they are good lifters, equivalent to GM's lifters? Worth using to quieten down my 206/206 cam and Comp Cam lifters? Thanks in advance...

Hi, I just bought one of the TA Performance oil pump wear plates. The plate has a short slot milled in it. Is this supposed to be on the gear side, or the cover side? Also, the gasket between the plate and the front cover is 0.006 thick. Is this okay, or do I need a thicker gasket? And...

Hi, This may seem like a daft question, but my 87 T here in Scotland has been converted to vacuum brakes. I just found some (just a little ammount) brake fluid under the plastic reservoir near the front rubber seal between reservois and master cylinder. Some weeks ago I popped the cap...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what turbo that TA49 is based on? I need to change the seals (leaking a bit of oil) and was wondering if there was a kit that I could order for seals and bearings for the centre section, and whther such a kit would be for a 'common' Garrett turbo. Plus, just how...

Hi, I was just wanting to ask some opinions here. My car, an 87 Turbo T in Scotland, has an old Kenne Bell 'ram air' set up on it. The scoop is mounted centrally under the front number plate and then quite large diameter ducting runs across and up and ends in the 'air box' set up with the...

Hi, The steering wheel on my 87 T is slightly out of alignment. I thought it would be easy enough to pop it off and refit it a spline over, but you can't because of the horn switch. Is there another way of doing it, or does it require altering the tie rods and equal ammount underneath...

Hi, Not quite sure what this part is called but it is the rubber skirt that sits at the lower part of the door and is held on to the door by the four lower trim clips. The driver's side one I have is missing. Any help appreciated. Also, the part would need to be posted to Scotland...

Hi, Maybe a weird request for Florida subscribers, but I have just had my 87 T delivered to Scotland. It came from Higginbotham Buick-GMC in 451 N Hwy 17-92, Casselberry, Florida. I can't find it on the internet, so I assume it has gone out of business. But, to be anal, can anyone...

Hi, Is it generally accepted that the GM lifters are the best for a flat tappet cam? If so, can someone tell me what the part number is please? My recently arrived car has a 206/206 cam in it and it is really noisy from the lifters. I have yet to lift the rocker covers for a look and...

Hi, Just got my new car here in Scotland (87 T). Have some overheating issues (annoying since the car came from Florida). I have flushed the radiator vigorously. Not much crap came out but 3/4 filling it shows water flowing through the upper core. I suspect the water pump may be a bit...

Hi, Can anyone tell me where the engine number can be found on the LC2 engine? And, if it is the orginal engine, is it similar to the VIN? Thamks in advance. Sandy

Hi, I am still waiting for my T to arrive in the UK, but before it arrives I was wanting to work out how to convert the rear lights to a legal system for here (we need an amber rear indicator). I have a spare set of rear lenses from when I had my GN to experiment with, and I have a service...

These are photos I took at GS Nats through the nineties. Apologies if they have been seen before. All the best from Scotland

Hi, I have a white 87 T with grey interior. It is currently in Florida and could do with a new headliner. Several companies advertise two greys, an Ox Gray and a Medium Dark Gray. Cananyone tell me which is th ecorrect shade for a grye interior 87 T please, so I can order it up ...

Hi, I said hello over on the GNTType forum so I thought I would say hello here as well. Bought my 87 GN in 1990 and sold it in 2003. Raced it a lot, over 600 runs, just needed new valve springs. Ran a best of 12.72 at 109mph on retreads after a 400 mile trip to the track, then a 400...
