    Center cap for 85 GN

    Yeah, I did the ebay search..... wow! I guess it is good that I only need one right now. I found a set of wheels locally with two center caps with them, maybe it would be worth it to buy the wheels and caps then sell the wheels.

    Center cap for 85 GN

    I am wanting to buy one center cap for my 85 Grand National. It is the black plastic cap with the tri-shield buick logo in the center. It is the cap for the aluminum wheels. I have looked for one on e-bay and aftermarket, if anyone has one, or has any ideas where I can get one, please let me...

    mild mods for hot air car (ideas?)

    Yeah, I understand the whole money pit thing! I guess that is why I am trying to draw a line in the sand so to speak, and try to determine what modifications these hot air cars need in order to get the most power yet not break the bank. Yeah, too late now, I already own the car! It will be...

    mild mods for hot air car (ideas?)

    Thanks for the information! I suppose from searching through this website that when making modifications to these cars that it ends up being a situation where one thing leads to another, and before you know it, there is a lot of money tied up in trying to make the car go faster. I have done a...

    mild mods for hot air car (ideas?)

    So I guess that I can assume that using a stock turbo and adding the chip and injectors will do nothing to help the performance of my car. Is it far fetched to assume that the new fuel pump and hot wire along with the adjustable wastgate and fuel pressure regulator will make a dramatic...

    mild mods for hot air car (ideas?)

    Guys, The GN that I bought is all stock with the exception of a k and n air filter. There are so many modifications that can be done to these cars that it is hard for me to determine what changes are truly necessary for me to do. My goal is to have a good running, dependable car that won't...

    Turbo heat damaging hood pad.

    Thanks for the information guys, looks like I need to scan through some pictures on this site to try to see what that shield looks like so I can make something similar to go on my hood. If anyone has a picture handy, would you post it here so i can see it? Thanks.

    Turbo heat damaging hood pad.

    Did the 85 Grand National come with some type of turbo shield to keep excessive heat from damaging the hood pad? My turbo has no shield, and the hood pad has some damage right above the turbo area. Maybe this is normal, but not sure. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to put on the hood...

    Chevy Detroit Diesels

    If you buy a 95-99 gm diesel, you will at some point in time have to replace the injector pump and/or the pump mounted driver (the electronic throttle control on the pump). The injector pump runs around $1500, and the pump mounted driver runs about $400. It is not a question of if you will...
