Description

I bought this car from the second owner in 2003 with 67,000 miles on it, before doing most of these mods myself (rear axle and transmission were professionally rebuilt by well-known GN specialists). I had it in storage for nearly 10 years, and I recently moved into the city and I just don't have the time or space to keep it anymore.
The car was built for 11's, but I never picked a turbo and injectors. The trans has a higher-stall converter, and the suspension is stiffer than most GNs, and handles like it's on rails.
Suspension & Chassis:
- Polyurethane body, control arm, and sway bar bushings
- S10 springs up front
- Bilstein shocks all around
- 12" brakes in front on B-body spindles, custom control arms, F-body 1LE 12" rotors (maintain original bolt pattern), aluminum drums in rear
- Hyrdroboost delete with vacuum brakes and B-body master and slave cylinders
- Line-lock
- Aluminum body braces in key areas (front frame, and trunk behind seat)
- Boxed control arms to eliminate wheel hop
- Eaton Positrac installed and all rear axle bearings and seals replaced less than 4,000 miles ago
- Battery relocated to trunk for better weight distribution, with dummy battery under hood
- Rear air spring airbags
- Larger F-Body hollow front sway bar
- 17" wheels with Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires, about 4 years and 1000 miles ago
Engine:
- Terry Houston 3" Downpipe
- Flowmaster dual exhaust with mandrel bent 2.5" from the Y-pipe
- PTE larger stock location intercooler
- Valve springs and timing chain just replaced
- Upgraded Walboro fuel pump with voltage boost at WOT
- K&N filter
Interior:
- Rare climate control, which actually works (but doesn't blow cold as it's still an R12 system)- A-Pillar boost gauge
- JVC Head unit
- 6x9 3-way speakers installed without cutting up the interior
- DirectScan scan tool- Headliner replaced- Seats are flawless except one small black spot on passenger seat
Transmission:
- Performance rebuild by Janis Transmission in Akron, Ohio less than 2000 miles ago (one of the top 200-4R builders in the country, the build was $2,400 without the torque converter, shifts are super firm)
- 9/11 lock-up stall converter with 3200 stall (a bit high for the stock turbo, prepped for a larger turbo I never ended up buying)
- Additional trans cooler
- Driveshaft loop
All the original parts are included, and the wheels, except the front brakes and spindles, which are the same as any G-body or S10, readily available if for some crazy reason you love brake fade and want to go back to 10" brakes. I still have the PowerMaster brakes if you are suicidal and want to put them back on. Whatever Turbo Buick you do buy, do not keep the PowerMaster brakes, or you will die.
