Did Gary call it quits and/or is his son still there off of Arlington Hts rd??
My cousin just got a ton of work done there mid last year but have not talked to him about it.
Mrs. Loyd how are you, I used to get the newsletter for a couple of years and need to know how to get back into the club. Please PM me with info on dues etc. This year will be the first in many that my GN will be back on the roads of IL.

When I first purchased my GN, I took it to Street Performance and asked him to look it over. He replaced half the sensors on the car including the coil pack and ign. module. The car was running fine when I took it to him. He charged me $1000.00. When I objected, he walked away saying when I paid, I would get my car back. I paid and chalked it up to experience.
Because of that, I learned to do my own work. Learning took time, and I drove a few people crazy with stupid questions, but now I do all of my own work. To me, a large part of the pleasure of owning a TR is working on it. I have a heated, two car garage and lots of tools. I have helped many of our Buick brothers, and would be happy to help anyone who asked. Just my .02. :smile:

The wisdom of experienced man is something you can't buy. Or is it?

Okay, I lied. I haven't finished installing the LC1, so I haven't started tuning yet. I have the XD-1 gauge installed and the bung welded in, but I haven't wired the LC1 under the dash. What turbo and heads did you buy?

70 gtq and some TA haeders. Also have some HR mounts and some billet pullys. Got plenty to do, just need some time.
In order to get no knock, I have to shoot for 10.5 to 1 with alky and 93.
Well, I am not so sure, I was told that he moved to or close to Rockford and bought a place with a big barn or something. I think he will be working on Turbo Buicks out his new place. Around early December he called me and said that he was moving and had some goodies for me for a good price but I never got a chance to go check it out.
