    Suspension and brake Recipes!

    Here are all of the links from this sticky corrected and working. I know that many were already corrected, but I thought it would be nice to have them all together.

    ATR 3" DP with Stock Headers?

    I assume short answers hide hard truths. As difficult as it was to get the stuff off that fits, I shudder to think about installing parts that need more convincing. It doesn't have to move far. We had a plumbing issue above the garage, and workers will have to get access to the area where...

    ATR 3" DP with Stock Headers?

    Will stock headers work with a 3" ATR downpipe? I have a 3" ATR downpipe (with external wastegate) on my car and ATR headers currently off of the car. The headers are cracked all over the place and the guy who is welding them is worried about messing them up. The car needs to move, and my...

    Just had my GN Stolen

    Just want to say as someone who has personally bothered the original poster at work about this car, that it isn't uncommon for someone to wander into his office and ask about his Buick. It is parked in a very open area on a busy street and whoever stole it is a brazen idiot. As grumpy as many...

    GN Owner-New to Little Rock

    Hi, I just moved to North Little Rock from Texas. I have bumped into two other GN owners and was told there are others around. Curious if there are any Little Rock area Turbo Buick owners around that might see this. I would love to join a club if one exists and get some people together if not...

    How many active Texas members do we have?

    I recently moved from Arlington to Austin. Any GN owners in or around the city?

    Sorry. Thought this was an old Texas members roll call. Deleted my comment. Write it off as a bump.

    Intercooler hose (loud) pop?

    The boost is addictive. My car is plenty quick @ 13 psi. I should probably just leave it alone, but I can't. Now that spools so quick, it is like a whole different car. I have to know what 18 psi is like. I am guessing it will be the same only faster :D I think it is the hose connected to the...

    Turbo suggestions for a 4.1 L street car?

    I have a TE-60 on my 4.1 It came on the car, so I don't know any other setup. It works well on the street. With a manual boost controller it spools real quick (felt a little laggy before that.) I never go to the drag strip, but I imagine it would do fine with the right tires. With good...

    Intercooler hose (loud) pop?

    I just got a Turbonetics manual boost controller. I have only turned the knob up three clicks and am hitting 15+ psi. My TT chip is good for 18 psi. It is 64 degrees outside and humid. I eased on the throttle up to full boost (WAY faster now) and had no problem. When I mashed it hard getting...

    4.3 from a 291?

    When I bought my car it was sold as having been bored out to a 4.3L. I figured that the owner was just mistaken (he wasn't the type to lie) and I call it a 4.1 It does have a 4.1 291 block. I have decent records on the car. The motor has been rebuilt twice. Once when it was installed to...

    scanmaster or power logger?

    That's what I thought. I can't afford both right now, so I should probably start with the scanmaster. A couple of guys from the local Buick club have been helping me out. One of them (former owner of a 9 sec GN) said that once I get the car setup how I want it (at this point that means...

    scanmaster or power logger?

    I was looking at buying a scanmaster but I noticed that the power logger isn't much more. Would it make sense to just go for the power logger? I have a laptop. I use it for day to day stuff so I couldn't leave it in the car, but it isn't my daily driver. My car will probably never run faster...

    Is this how you cut your driver side rear filler? I was planning to remove all the white part...

    Is this how you cut your driver side rear filler? I was planning to remove all the white part and then use fiberglass to on the backside to "glue" the gap closed. Thanks for your tip on the flange. it went great, but now I really see what you mean about this cut. It may need to taper more...

    FG Bumper Filler help

    Nevermind... I would buy the set direct from Danko for $10 cheaper than I paid. They would have to be in better shape.

    FG Bumper Filler help

    I don't know that it makes a difference where you buy them from. I have talked with a few people who have used the Danko fillers. None of them got them from gbodyparts, and they all had similar issues. You may find that they have fewer scratches in the gel-coat, but they will all need to be...

    FG Bumper Filler help

    I removed the flange that connects the filler to the fender, cut away excess material and then reattached the flange with fiberglass using polyester resin. (Thanks, whitehot84 for that tip!) It went smoothly. After it cured, the reattached flange was rock solid, and because of the location...

    FG Bumper Filler help

    I think there was a gap from the factory, so just cutting them with clean edges with no overlap would be acceptable (they are like this on a VERY nice local turbo T) Some folks use a T shaped piece of weather stripping in the gap to make it look more tidy. I have never seen photos, but I would...
