[86 GN DDR]

Just a couple things I've done..GN1 3 inch exhaust. Exhaust cutout with electric dump. The system sounds awesome. RJC billet horn ring looks awesome.

Welcome!

That little turn down on the dump pipe is cool.

Where did you get it, if you don't mind my asking?

After accumulating parts this last year, I finally had time to put them to use. I just recently added Kirbans lower steering GM shaft. S10 wheel cylinder upgrade with long shoes. New 1 piece speedocable. I don't ever want to repeat that one again. I am currently having a Transgo shift kit and new driven and drive gear replaced. I currently have no MPH signal. Hopefully it's not the VSS. Last but not least, I am adding SSBC dual piston calipers and Summit drilled and slotted rotors. Santa came early this year and is bringing Stage 2 UMI handling kit. Now if I can just get the gauge cluster lights to come on. Thanks for everyone's knowledge and input into my project. This forum is one of the last of the mochians in GN knowledge.

Nice! Looking good! I did the VSS in my car too. Just bought a used one from the board. Not too bad to install. Went ahead & changed the speedo cable too while I was at it.

Keep up the good work!

Looks to be going good so far. Hope to have it all together soon. I've been dying to drive it around.

What spring rates did you get from UMI, and post ride impressions when you can.

2 inch drop front spring at 600lb and 1 inch drop rear spring at 130lb

Thanks for the info. 600# seems really stiff, but then again I have ATR performance springs w/ bilsteins and still have a little bit of float.

UMI front sway bar. UMI upper and lower A arms with 2 inch drop spring and new shock. It's coming together slowly but surely.

Bates 2016
Updates include:
Fresh 109 rebuild with new 208/208 cam and AC by Turbolou Czarnota.
New 200 4r built trans by Art Carr.
The car drove and handled amazingly.
Driving home in 100 degree temp in the desert, the GN averaged 180 degrees with the AC on and dual spal fans that kept her cool. I can't wait for next year. It's been a LONG road to just get the GN to this point. Thank you to everyone on the board for sharing their knowledge and expertise to make my dream car a reality.

Looking good. Crazy question.... is there some sort of red strap or frame tie that runs across the middle of the car?? What am I seeing there?

Pretty sure that is the front sway bar you are talking about.

No it's not unless your front sway bar runs under your mufflers because it is visible in both pictures.

DOH!!!!! You are right!

Now that I look closely, WTF is that thing, anyway?
