    Should I coat/rustproof floorpans?

    Tracing a leak from the cowl area and also replacing the rug. Obviously the water has caused some rust. The rust is only surface rust, but some parts are a little more surface than others. Everything is solid. Should I coat it with anything? POR15? Rustoleum? I'm a little hesitant to coat it...

    Smoke tested upper engine

    On my seemingly eternal struggle to find an oil/exhaust smell I put a smoke machine into my open breather tube. At first I had a small leak at a connection, I fixed that and now I noticed that I had a pretty substantial leak coming from the oil dipstick tube at the dipstick. I don't think that...

    Front End Screws-Anybody with a small junkyard lol

    I need one of the screws (out of the 3) that hold the side marker light in place. Tiny small ones. I also need the 2 screws that are on the radiator support that hold the X frame in place in front of the radiator and condenser.

    Who has the most OEM like Buick grill emblem?

    Looking to get a new emblem. Official NOS is non existant. Looks like Highway Stars made an emblem just like OEM but they have none left. Anyone knows who else makes an OEM type emblem? Did anyone install Gbody's emblem? How does it compare?

    Grand National "Buick" emblem

    Looking for the metal emblem, either OEM or the one Highway Stars had made, which is basically OEM. Not looking for the plastic one. The emblem with the "c" extending past the borders.

    Turbo oil leak?

    Tracking down oil leaks. Just finished my feed line leak. Looks like my return is leaking also and noticed this. Looks like it is caked on, not wet at all. This normal? Do turbos leak from there?

    Change over to Coil Overs?

    Anyone with experience with both. I have SPC lowering springs and a good shock. Just was wondering it was worth changing over. Have BFGoodrichs on it. But I do want the best possible handling. What are your thoughts? Also are any brand better? I heard the Viking/UMI ones have a better bracket...

    Aluminum turbo oil feed fitting

    So noticed a little leak from the oil feed fitting. Took it off. Wonder why. Looks pretty mashed up. Did someone cross thread this or just from heat/vibration? Had this on for years with no issue.

    E85 instead of 93

    Car exhaust smell is pretty bad. Looking to see if E85 is more exhaust friendly. Would putting one tank full of E85 in my 93 chipped GN do any harm? I wouldn't go into more than 2-3psi boost

    SEMA Build

    https://www.motortrend.com/events/1987-buick-grand-national-roadster-shop-build/ Do not forget to click on the build-325 pics. I really hate they did this to a real GN, not in love they didn't keep the V6 and for all intensive purposes it is not a GN anymore. That being said the wheels/tires...

    Magnetic oil plug

    So its been well over a year since last oil change. Maybe 2000 miles of driving, no racing. On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is this? And where is it coming from?

    Anyone have 3 piece/flat DSE Musclebar?

    My passenger side tire is rubbing my new Hellwig sway bar. Looks like the tire and slightly the rim also. Tire is 235 in the front and VERY lowered. Anyhow was looking for a pic of the 3 piece Musclebar by Detroit Speed. I don't need much clearance and it looks like the flat sides would work.

    IAC Issue

    Had no issues at all with the IAC or idle. Replaced the TPS sensor and now IAC is wigging out. Started car and turned off 3x so IAC could learn. Posting a video of Scanmaster. So my question is should I mess with the idle screw with IAC #'s so high or should I just do the ALDL hard reset? Or...
