1987 Buick Grand National for **SOLD** Runs and drives well, cold A/C, fast, user-tunable, super clean, gets tons of looks and comments Located in Cedar Park/Austin, TX I have had this car for 13 years and bought it because I wanted a fast, tunable car. I used it as my daily driver for about...

Up for sale is a brand new Alky Control kit that includes the GM 3-BAR map sensor you need for the kit. I bought it directly from Alky Control but have since decided to part with my GN. I mounted the pump, coolant catch can, and alky tank to the car and it was installed for a while but never...

I really need this stuff gone! - 1 transmission is partially disassembled, all parts accounted for and verified to be BRF - $175 GOOD BRF VALVE BODY - 1 transmission is missing one of the bosses on the bellhousing, but had no problems in my 11 second car. still assembled, verified as a real...

Anybody have the part number for these? I searched forever and couldn't find it. I need the O-rings that go into the back of the compressor for the A/C lines. I have a generic A/C (green) O-ring kit but it doesn't contain any large enough for the compressor outlet... thank you! -Brett

I have two complete BRF cores for sale and many other parts: - 1 transmission is partially disassembled, all parts accounted for and verified to be BRF - $300 - 1 transmission is missing one of the bosses on the bellhousing, but had no problems in my 11 second car. still assembled, verified...

I'm looking for a 3" or 3 1/2" downpipe to replace my old school 2.5" pipe with stock elbow. SS is cool but not necessary. Would prefer it have an O2 bung so I don't have to get it modified, but that's not a deal killer. Thanks! -Brett

All, I'm having a bit of trouble with the transmission in my car and would love some suggestions on what to look for. The transmission is a used BRF, "40K since rebuild", has a shift kit, and is running a smaller ~9.5" non lock up TC. I've put about 300 miles on it since I installed it in my...

I have a barely used (5K miles) authentic Art Carr 9" 16930 non lockup stall that I've had sitting (with fluid) for a few years that I no-longer need. $350 + shipping. Please add 3% if using paypal. Pictures soon to come Thanks for looking! -Brett

I failed the two speed idle test here in texas because my hydrocarbons are too high at idle. Can I realistically get these lower at idle without a cat? See my sig for car setup. Since I have the ability to tune via the translator Gen2 i'd like to try that before adding a cat since that...

If I have a MAF translator gen 2 and can increase timing as much as I want for specific RPM ranges, do I still need an 'alky chip' to fully take advantage of running alcohol? I've read the very nice and detailed thread about tuning for alcy with a translator/extreme chip setup, but from a...

How hard is it to pass the 'visual' part of the inspection here now? Car was in storage for a while and now that I have it running well I'm anxious to get it past the last hurdle - inspection. I know I need a cat to pass the sniffer, I'm working on that... But what about stuff like valve cover...

I just got my car running after it sat for 5 years (detailed in another thread) and was able to make some turbo link runs with it. Attached is a spreadsheet from one of them. During these runs I was driving around my neighborhood and up on a street with a higher speed limit. I didn't stay in...

It's sure been a long time since I messed with this thing... about 5 years or more from the best of my memory. Seeing all of the pieces of the engine in the trunk where I left them, some of the small items still grouped together in a vinyl glove (my goofy but successful attempt at organizing)...

Check out this estimate I got today to redo the 75K heads on my GN. Seems kinda high to me, but maybe I'm just used to shop prices from being a mechanic? What do you all think?

Looking for one of these. Please let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks -Brett

The Texas summer is just months away and I'm getting my car back on the road after a long time in storage and with a few upgrades :) I'm debating upgrading to alky or getting a larger intercooler... In your opinion what would give the best bang for the buck with my setup: Stock block...

I didn't see anything about these here through searching, are the backspacing and offset of these wheels correct for our cars? Jegs (and I'm sure others) have these for ~230 each. Part No. Size Offset Backside Bolt Circle 605M7861C 17x8 0 4 1/2 5x4 3/4 American...

Howdy! Been a while since I posted.... I'm in need of a local austin machine shop to flatten, or possibly just check, some heads. Can anyone recommend a good shop? It's really time to get my car out of storage :) Thanks in advance -Brett

Can anyone recomend one? It's been years since I had any engine work done... Finally getting the project car up and running again... or at least trying to :) ... or if you know of any used champion ported irons that would be cool too. -Brett

Looking for a good one to build my stocker up :) I'm located in Austin but would drive it to DFW or Houston to get it done right. thanks -Brett
