    Turbo heat shield 'J' bracket

    I have a shield that came with the car in a box, but I don't have the bracket and hardware to attach it. Does anyone have one laying around that they would part with? Thanks!

    PL files after rebuild

    Just got the motor back in and did a couple of log files last night. The first is from a cold start and the second is after it was up to normal temps and 15 lbs of boost. I just wanted to throw these out there and see if anyone notices anything alarming. Thanks.

    Engine install Midwest

    Hey guys, I've got someone to install my motor back in my car, but right now he's smashed for other work. He said his feelings wouldn't be hurt if I wanted to go elsewhere, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Does anyone know a place within reasonable trailering distance from central Iowa that...

    Engine rebuild - recommendations (cam, etc)

    After having my car for a year I decided to blow up the motor so I could rebuild it. Well, that’s what I tell myself. This has forced me to learn a whole lot more about these cars. It’s something I should have been doing all along, so this’ll be my expensive lesson! Anyway, I’ve got a...

    Rear end rebuild

    I'm going in Tuesday to have my rear end rebuilt. The limited slip is not locking in so in effect I'm driving a peg-legger. Hoepfully it just needs a clutch kit. Are there any issues to look out for or performance parts I should be looking at? Thanks!

    Is this where to install a boost sensor?

    I just bought this car a little over a week ago. I was taking my neighbor out for a ride and suddenly my boost gauge wasn't working. We got back and discovered that it had popped out of the location it was installed. My question is, is this where the boost sensor should be installed? The...

    Precious R12

    If anyone has a stash of this I could use a can or two to refresh my AC. I just bought my '86 and that's the only thing that wasn't working (of course) after sitting all winter.

    Central Iowa GN newbie

    I just got my ’86 GN delivered to my place Saturday afternoon. So far I’m very pleased. The thing is about as immaculate as you can get for being around this many years. It’s got 77,000 miles on it. The best part is the fun pedal you push on gently with your right foot!!! Here’s a list of...

    Hey guys. Just got my '86 GN delivered on Saturday. I've been wanting one of these since I drove a new one back in '87. She's a beauty and plenty quick with all the mods done already. Mike Ankeny, IA
