yeah really... how do people find these things and why do they bring them back?

 

They run a search, look at threads and forget they're old so they post. I've done it once or twice.

 

did this happen yet

 

it not that old go to 3go, there are threads brought up from 5 years ago. Mostly from 2000-2001

 

Yeah, race already. Let's hope the GN guy doesn't take this time to mount an intercooler while the GTA is down... Is that a common mod for the hot-air cars? (I would think so, but is it feasible?)

 

an intercooler mod is doable for a hotair GN, however, while there used to be vendors making intercooler add on kits for hotair Buicks, they all have since discontinued them. ive searched the classifieds on most of the Buick boards for used kits and theyre pretty hard to come by. i think im just going to keep it hotair for awhile... its funny to pop the hood and watch people look at the engine like "WTF? this isnt a GN motor"

unfortunately it hasnt. the GN is back on the road and being tuned. however, i have since sold the GTA to someone who wanted it for parts. he has lost interest in his project car and is going to give me the GTA back for free. this will be the third time ive gotten rid of this car, only to have it fall back into my hands again... so this time im going to fix it up and well see what it can do against this mostly stock hotair GN

if the cars ever do race each other (or race independantly at the track) ill make a new post with the results

 

a little OT but over here in europe everyone who takes a look at my engine-bay is stunning and saying wheter "oh just a v6" hmm, never knew they made a v6 trans am!"

hehe

 

tpivette, do you not want the GTA? What's wrong with it? Is it decent condtion? What's up?

theres nothing really major wrong with the car, it just needs alot of little things. all the previous times i owned it, i didnt think id have the time (with all the other cars i wrench on) to take care of another project, so i would get rid of the car. but somehow it would always end up back in my possession, so i guess i was meant to bring it back to life

im projecting that before the track season ends this year ill have it up and running good and hopefully have a few timeslips too

 

Oh ok cool. Well good luck on the rebuild/restoration!
