Grand National time again?
Well, since I have a family now... I need something with more than two seats, $6k or less and automatic (for the wife).
That ruled out anything but domestics if I still wanted it to be fast. So, I'm on the hunt for another Grand National.
"FastX7" may just become a long-term (more than 6 months) project now. This is all still in negotiations with myself though. I can't really bring myself to not have the 7 around.
With the motor goin out... I have to decide whether to fix it or to get something else and curb it for a while.

Don't take this the wrong way but I think you need to stick to one project. I've seen some of my friends do the same thing...jump around from car to car and never make one of them fast.
You've gone what now...FD, GSR, t-type, FC, and now GN? Well whatever you decide to do, good luck.

I want to get my FC up and running again... but the motor/turbo combo I want to put in it will severly limited its streetability. That's if I go all out, if I just get a j-spec motor, then it'll be pretty much the same.

The GN is a beast and I loved the last one I had for all of 4 days that it lasted.

well you found out what can happen with detinaion and boost on a buick ..
If you find another dont kill it you must keep them in tune and no less than 93 octane and they prefer exxon fuel over any other brand around...I have tried them all
boy in richmond got one for sale with desent miles on it but its ttop ...if interested let me know I can link you to his for sale ad later
I done rear seal and timing chain in it not long ago
