For Sale/Trade/Want To Buy / WTB - Tach
« on: April 28 2011, 10:57:58 PM »
Looking to purchase a used tach for my GN. 5" w/shift lite, either white or silver face.

My GN has a digital dash. The cluster does not dim down when you turn the headlights on, but it does work properly. Obviously it will need fixing at some point, but I've also never liked the look of it and prefer the analog cluster.

I got my hands on a pretty prestine analog cluster the other day. I emailed John Spina  @ Caspers and he tells me that I will need to change out the dash harness for the new cluster to operate (lights, etc.) correctly, and change my MAP sensor so that my boost and tach LED's work. I do have a complete interior harness from a hard top car in my selection of parts for sale. I didn't look at it closely, so I'm not sure if the dash harness unplugs from the bulkhead or not.

Am I opening up a can of worms here, or is this a common swap? I want everything to work correctly, and I'm not one to do a shitty conversion or repairs. Has anyone else ever done this kind of swap?

For Sale/Trade/Want To Buy / Set of brand new stock length pushrods
« on: April 21 2011, 08:28:31 PM »
Bought them from Full Throttle when I got my cam and lifters. Machine shop decided there 'rods were better and used them instead of mine (because they never got them, and I found them on the floorboard of my car yesterday  :rolleyes; ).

$72 + some shipping is what I paid for them. I'll sell them for $60 w/shipping.

IHADAV8 Playground / Speed dating... Has anyone tried it?
« on: April 15 2011, 10:21:12 PM »
Next month they have a speed dating event nearby for singles that are 21-32 years old. I'm thinking of checking it out, because my only experience with it is the scene from The 40 Year Old Virgin. I'm curious to see how it works, and my chauvanistic and superficial side wants to see the quality of chicks at these things.

I'm in one of those "Depends on the day of the week" relationships. A good buddy of mine has been single for awhile now, he works all hours because of his job, and since his last relationship went south he hasn't been playing the field like a 28 y/o guy should be. I'd like to get him out to a regulated event where he can meet some new girls and maybe hit it off with one of them. I figure a true friend would be there with you through something like this.

-Stock intercooler w/shroud.
I just repainted this about 2 weeks ago, along with the shroud. I purchased a Duttneck IC and have no use for this one. The shroud has one small crack/hole in it, driver quality but was on my driver show car. $150 shipped.

-200r4 CORE.
This is the core out of my GN. I need to check the tags, but I was told it is a BRF tranny. Comes with stock D5 t/converter. Trans was replaced due to the infamous 2-3 flare when shifting and no lockup in o/d. $350, shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. I would be willing to meet someone half way if they lived a reasonable distance from me, 53517. Keep in mind gas is $3.50/gal in WI...

-Pitbull ATR chip.
Its not out of the car yet, but I did receive my TT chip yesterday. Make offer.

I'm sure I've got more stuff lying around, but thats what comes to mind at this point.


ALL ITEMS ARE SUBJECT TO OFFERS

General Buick Tech / My GN needs a cam. Recommendations, manufacturers?
« on: January 06 2011, 05:58:22 PM »
What sounded like a sticky lifter turns out to be a flat lobe on the cam. My engine has about 6000 miles on it, and when it was built a Poston cam was installed. The cam I currently have I do not know the numbers on it, but it is two stages up from a stock grind. I don't mind it, but with my mods it doesn't really gain me anything either.

Here are my mods and what I am planning to add this spring. I'd like to get some input from the GN guru's here that have more experience with these turbo v6 cars since this is my first one.

Current Mods
-.030 rebuild
-cold air intake
-36# injectors
-ATR Pitbull chip
-Adjustable fuel psi regulator
-Fuel pump hotwire kit

Mods to come:
-Turbo Tweak chip
-3" Single Exhaust w/3" downpipe

As you can see, I have and what I'm going for is merely a bolt-on car. I want something that is quite driver friendly as I drive this car to work almost every nice day in the summer, heavily on the weekends, and to and from my girlfriend's house which is 40 miles away, so I don't want to take away any of the fuel economy either (I lose enough thru the gas pedal

For Sale/Trade/Want To Buy / Looking for some parts!!
« on: December 27 2010, 01:47:27 PM »
First thing I'm looking for is a set of wheel opening moldings, chrome or black.

Condition doesn't matter as long as I don't pay top dollar for junk. My GN doesn't have any w/h moldings and I want to add them. Problem is my rear wheel lips are rolled to accomodate a wider tire if the mood strikes, and I'm not sure how well the moldings will work, therefore cheaper the better. If they aren't black, I have the ability to paint them.

Next is a good, used, working hood mounted fuel psi gauge.

I'm not picky about the manufacturer, as long as it comes with the hose to hook on the fuel rail and the hood mounting bracket.  


Please post or PM if you have something available, thanks.

IHADAV8 Playground / NFL Fans? Bowl Pics?
« on: December 19 2010, 09:02:28 PM »
Growing up in the era of Favre, he has been an idol and is the one player that hooked me on Football at a young age. I followed the home team (Green Bay) for years, until that frankenstein looking fuck Ted Thompson became GM and Mike McCarthy was hired as coach. I followed the Jets Mediocre season in '08, mainly out of spite. And just when I was getting sick of Favre's drama, he showed up on the depth chart of another favorite team - Minnesota.

Last year was a pass away (no pun intended) from Minnesota seeing a 'Bowl game. When Brett returned for one last season this year, I was cautiously optimistic, though I was afraid the season would fare just as it has.

As far as my pic's for the Bowl go, Pats and Falcons. I think these will be two teams that will be real hard to beat in the playoffs. Too early to pick a winner, but I'll pick the contenders. I don't see GB or the Jets going anywhere. The Steelers may make the playoffs, but they can't go all the way. Expansion teams... Don't make me laugh!!!


Pats and Falcons. Jerry Jones will have the best seat in the house.

IHADAV8 Playground / Pretty sure I got roophie'd last night
« on: December 18 2010, 09:32:32 PM »
Let me start my saying my bunghole was not violated whatsoever :rofl;

A buddy and I went out to have a few beers. Its been a long and stressful week, so I was looking to get out of the house for a couple hours. I told him "I got to work at 8a, so we can't be out late." Famous last words... We end up stopping at this bar about 20 miles from home. We picked it only because 1. it had a Huber beer sign, 2. Huber used to be made in a nearby town, and 3. when we walked by I could hear 'Heaven's on fire' by KISS playing from inside (Insert TSM Girls' wet panties here  :D ). About 32.698547 seconds into this dive, my friend gets a man-date almost immediately. Some drunk rube who wanted to brag about how he has the best home made wine in the county and how's he's been a roofer for the last 25 years... We slammed those beers and GTFO as fast as we could. We cruise over to Huber town as there are quite a few good bars to check out. At our next venture, we run into a friends sister and cousins, so we proceed to party with these cougars all night. After a few drinks, these old hen's are wanting to head outside of town to a local dance club.

Now back in my old mans day, this place was called the White Elephant. Its where everybody hung out in the late 60's and early 70's. The place hasn't been remodeled since Nixon was president, either. In present time, its under new ownership, and the scene has drastically changed. Back in the day, you negotiated a race in the parking lot. Now you negotiate drug deals if you into that shit. The place is full of white trash, gangbangers, origina gangsta's, pimps, ho's, skeezers, skip scaps, and scallywags. The music was good, and the beer was cold. Lots of young, tight, well-built female bodies throughout also.

Now this is where shit gets weird. After my first beer at this dive, I started to feel funny. Yes, I had drank quite a few beers before this one, but I've never experienced what I felt last night while drunk. I started to see double, then all of the music turned into a blur... My buddy was talking to me and he sounded like the school teacher on Charlie Brown... I sat down in a chair and the whole room began to spin. I asked the bartender for a water, and when I went to pick it up I couldn't make my hand grab the glass, so I spilled it all over the floor and my pants. She gave me another one, and I drank that. I had about two more waters and my head began to clear up. While coming back to reality, and I verified this with my friend today, there was a group of girls who were sucking on each others boobies. Apparently, and I don't remember this, I said to one of these chicks, "I'll have what she's having!" and I did. Dude got a pic of me sucking on some young girls pierced titty in the bar. As soon as he sends it to me, I will post it up.

By bar time, I was alert and (felt) sober as a stone.  I got home and crawled into bed at 3:45a, got up at 6:30a to go to work, and was glad I was home by two to screw off on the internet and go to bed. It was by far a very weird night. I'm sure someone dropped something in by beer when I set it down to go burn up the dance floor. There was a lot of shady looking people in there, and I wouldn't put it past someone to try to slip me something and steal my wallet or my anal virginity.


I think I'll stay home tonight. Got to work again tomorrow :sad;
