Whats the first thing you did to your grand national

[87witttops]

Beside the normal maintenance we all did when we got our gn's. What was the first real mod anyone did. First thing I had to do was exhaust. Get some rumble going.

Chip, fuel pump hotwire/fuel pump, AFPR, cold intake, race gas, and a threadded stock wastegate rod. This is what I would do to any TR I just bought. I should have done a scanmaster right away too but my buddy had one I borrowed at first.

 

[Fachie Motion]

K&N air filter , 160 thermostat, and hollowed out cat. All at the same time.

^^^this. The car went 12.400@107 like this. The Scanmaster wasn't even a sperm in his fathers testicles yet. I used a multimeter to read O2 voltage.

 

[Turbo boy]

Drove the car off the lot brand new in 1987, stopped at a gas station about a block away from the dealership and put in a Hypertech Stage III chip I had picked up beforehand.

[turbojd]

K&N air filter, 160 stat, and a hypertech chip were the first mods done back in 91.

 

[broke]

Vacum brake conversion then a scanmaster

 

[blackgn1]

Fuel Pump. Hot wire kit. Then a total engine rebuild.

 

[kidglok]

first thing i did was replace the headgaskets

 

[deezdad]

The wild 1 that i am i did body bushings and frame braces.

 

[Tmizunocherry]

Jumped the fan relay cause the fan wouldn't kick on when driving it home for the first time. Oh and i had to use some small vice grips to connect the ceramic switch to the fan wire where the previous owner would unplug and plug in that connector to the fan and he pulled on it one too many times. GEEZ!

 

[BGNeXtreem]

Got a bad ass set of wheels from Boyd coddington wheels

Good ol hyper techs

 

[INEEDAGN]

Good ol hyper techs

I still have one! Not being used of course, in OE box. Not worth anything so I figure it'll be a neat vintage speed part in another 20 years....

Compressed the fuel pressure regulator, threaded wastegate rod, gutted the convertor, ran a switch to ground the cooling fan, blocked off coolant to throttle-body, Hypertech Stage III, General 245/60/15 (softest radial of the time), 104 Octane boost
and proceeded to kill all the Mustangs in my area. Also subscribed to anything in print about Turbo Regals. Seriously, the 104 made a difference in my car. Then I learned about Toluene as an additive! God bless ATR!

 

[The Darkside]

Red armstrong 93 chip, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, 9" K&N air filter & 3 " single shot exhaust......First time on a 1/4 mile track it went 13.03 @ 103 with a 2.oo+ 60ft on some regular old street tires
