I just got a quick look at the GN im looking at. unfortuneatly, the owner wasnt there, so i could just look at the body and such. body=great shape, at least for a NY car. didnt get a good look underneath. But now i have a couple questions on getting her up & running-
1- How much will a stock wastegate cost me, and where can i get one? or are there any good aftermarket ones that work well with stock? And lastly, my autoshop teacher brought up a point: How do you know that its going bad?
2-It needs an alternator(can it at least start so i can hear it run with a bad one?). All i can find online are remanufactured(autozone, napa), or $350 for a new one from Gbodyparts.com(I'll be getting interior trim form them anyway). Am i better off getting the more expensive new one?
and lastly, suspension: Im planning on getting this form Gbody parts too. the Bilstein shocks/struts are a given. But does anyone have experience with the prokit/drop springs? would I need Caster/Camber plates with these? or where can i get good stock springs if thats better?
And im hoping to get a GNX style dash from GNXdash.com while I'm at it. Any suggestions on styles?
Sorry for so many questions, my only real experience is on my dirt bikes.
