that sounds good. the regular ones are like $2 at sears hardware. maybe i'll just keep snapping them. just put a new one in before i blew the driveshaft/trans. new trans in now, lets see if i can break it again.

on the topic of torque straps, has anyone had this problem: the torque strap gets hooked to an eyelet bolt used to secure the alternator to the bracket. i have broken this bolt 3 times now, snapping the eyelet part clean off of the rest of the bolt. is it possible i'm torque my strap too...

i'm not sure how close anybody is going to be able to tell you the weight, but it sounds like you'll be in the 3000lbs range if you kept stock frame rails up front. tire size is going to depend on what you do with the engine. a friend has a TTA clone with a 252 twin turbo engine, runs low...

the 'z06' of the 90's would be the zr-1 corvettes, with the LT-5 DOHC v8. easy low 12 sec cars, and i've heard rumors that a heads up comparison of a NEW 2002 z06, and a zr-1, the early 90's zr-1 is faster in a straight line.

my 86 gn is my daily, and as long as you don't go too far with modifying them, i think any turbo regal makes a great daily driver. only downside is that you MUST keep high octane gas in them (i only use 93). great gas milage, comforable, and fast. you simply CANNOT buy a new car that gives...

an 82 GN DID NOT have a bulge in the hood, but all other years did, even the 78-81 sport coupes. it really doesn't look like a 10cyl in there, but does seem like it could be an 82 GN. so who's gonna buy this toilet?

the problem with using VHT in a setup like that is that VHT trackbite is a coagulant (spl?). it will gum up, and pretty much clog everything you got. you are better off putting water in something like that, and just putting the bite on the ground.

sunoco is ALL i use in the gn. i'll put anything in the iroc that gets 5 mpg.

dhauser -- not trying to be an ******* here, but it seems a little high at 8500. e-mail me, i have some comments for ya.

the last one i went to (fall of 01), it was mostly GN vs mustang, but i think rules stipulate any buick and any ford. i may be there, but if i am, its on radials at 14psi of boost, no need to push the car for bracket racing.

firebird350, i've got an 86 gn, and live in levittown, right outside of NE philly, near the blvd. i'd love to go fishing sometime, nothing cooler than a pair of GNs layin it down.

UNGN, actually, the l98 is only two generations away. LT1 then LS1. an lt4 is just a variation on the LT1. you can technically 'bolt on' components from an lt4 to an lt1 and make it an lt4. is it possible you're thinking of the DOHC lt5 from the zr1 corvette?? if so, remember that was a...

what about dog-eared sunvisors?? i have a t-top car, but my visors are from a hardtop, and the corners are broken from being pushed against the headliner. again, I want to keep my FACTORY sticker, which means i need to reuse the fabric. not a problem, fabric is in good condition, but how do i...

locally, in my town, there are like 3 gns that i know of, and 2 ttas. one gn is owned by a guy with a 10 sec notchback stang, the gn is pretty stock, one is owned by a kid like 20-21, and another is a toilet (some guy with dreads). only had a chance to race one, and i smoked it.

Webby, I know kirban's makes a repro, but the repro doesnt' have the part number on it. Mark, is that the number for the factory sticker?? Time to visit the buick dealer again.......

i'd like to hear ideas for fixing worn visors. my sunvisors are worn and dog eared, but fabric is good, and I have the FACTORY fuel/oil sticker on the drivers side. even has the part #. can't lose the sticker.

so you're using the sy/ty heat exchanger setup, with a stock location intercooler?? what kinda of surface area does this i/c have in comparison to say a stock or 20 row stock loc i/c?? is there a duttweiler type neck to connect the turbo to the i/c?

azgn, i thought rich too, i just didn't have the balls to pull the fuel pressure at 22# boost. i brought the boost back down to like 17 and the fp back to normal. maybe next time

uderpsi, i too wonder bout using this. a friend of mine has a typhoon, and the air to water IC that is right before the throttle body seems to have a lot of potential. i know almost nothing about turbo trucks, but it seemed that the air to water ic was filled with coolant. what if this IC...

azgn, you mention that egts can go up from being rich b/c fuel in the manifolds are burning. a few times when i was playing around with 22psi of boost (100 octane of course), i had the fuel pressure way up (like 46-47psi, i usually run like 38), and my pass side manifold would be GLOWING red...
