Finally got my car back from mechanic. Claims to build race motors. After a year and a couple $k, my car barely runs. After replacing the headers he sold me, they were cracked and leaked, I find that at 3k rpm, my motor loses power, starts making hellacious metallic noises and generally makes me...

I am near a small burg called Paris, Tx. It's in the northeast corner. And Yes, I need to find someone that knows what they are doing. Dallas is 100 miles away, doable, but more rip-offs there than just about anywhere. Get car back from trans shop tomorrow. Supposedly works right now. We shall...

Yes, I did think of that and it looks good, no burn smell either.

I recently acquired an 85 GN. I had heard the name before, but that's all, nothing about the power/rarity. My buddy was all excited. He wanted to buy it but was low on bucks. He talked me into looking at it and well...sure, I might be able to turn the car for a few bucks. I kind of like the...
