better late than never...

well, after a long hibernation, i have returned to the stomping grounds to find many a change has taken place! the MGNA appears to be no more, the president is now the VP with a Pontiac club, and I only saw 2 GN's and NO t-types all summer! Well, at least Nick is still Nick.

My 86 T-Type was back on the road this summer for the first time in a few years, and only 1 guy tried to buy it! Some retarded vette tried racing me (they never learn...) and my D/Side header has gotten louder, now it smells like exhaust in the car - Doh!). other than that, the rust started to get the Drivers side of the old girl, but she still runs like a champ, after all, it's a Buick!!

Hey Matt! Long time no hear or read. Hopefully you'll have the car out next year. We got to get a bunch of guys out to the track next year!

I8AV8 · 10-22-2007, 08:29 AM

I'm driving it for another week - then it goes back in the garage. I was tempted to take it to the track for the last race this year - i'll take it out next year for sure. did you run your car this year? any new cars in town?

I had some motor issues this year on the beater so I put the low milage one on the road. I met up with 3 new GN owners this year, two of them will be at the track next year. Hope our dollar goes higher!

I8AV8 · 10-23-2007, 08:12 AM

no kidding about the dollar! good to hear you had the lo-K car on the road. did you do any more mods to the 'fast' car since you were running down vipers at Gimli? Did the 3 new GN guys buy local cars or are they local cars with new owners? is Gary still around?

forzfed · 10-23-2007, 08:29 PM

The one GN owner bought Chris's old one and then went to Florida and bought a couple more. The other two bought their's from the States, one from Minnesota and not sure where the other one came from. I did a little bit to the car since the Viper beating.

Yikes! thats Girdle-riffic! that turbo looks bigger that the TE-44 that was on there before. do you still have the stock-location aftermarket intercooler or did you go front mount?

It's a little bit bigger then the 44. I still kept it on the smaller size, I like crazy fast spool! It has a fair size cam in it and doesn't sound like a V6 anymore. I kept the stock location one, gives it more of a stealth look.

Hey Nick - who did the machine work for that bottom end? Did you end up having any problems with with your 9/11 converter?

The short block was built in Texas. No problems what so ever with the 9/11.
