Nice!

What size rotors are those?

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

tones2SS 09-28-2011 05:48 PM

That looks killer Blake. I suggest posting what you had posted here over at; http://www.turbobuicks.com/forums
I have to tell my buddy who owns a "modded" '87 Grand National about these parts for sure!:thumbsup:

Sieg 09-28-2011 06:28 PM

Not your average grocery-getter. :unibrow:

Still love those GN's, I remember installing one of the first Hypertech chips in a friends car and being very impressed with that little V6. Now you've completed the package. Good work! :thumbsup:

mild2wild 09-28-2011 06:41 PM

Looks awesome, Blake! Love the diamond cut on the black Forgelines!

Vegas69 09-28-2011 06:53 PM

The 80's was tough on cars but a Grand National is one car I wouldn't kick out of the garage.:thumbsup:

Blake Foster 09-28-2011 06:58 PM

yea I agree I have Always wanted one, this one was a total stocker other than a downpipe, exhaust and a chip when i got it, not planning on doing anthing to the motor except to make it run well, i added a boost controler 43 lb injectors and a turbo tweek chip, THAT's ALL I'M DOING :_paranoid :_paranoid
but the suspension is now done and we can put all the parts into production. some already are but not all of them.

CRCRFT78 09-28-2011 07:28 PM

Will this be offered in kit form and for sale seperately? What's the pricing looking like?

Blake Foster 09-28-2011 10:23 PM

Yes to both.
pricing has not been finalized but will be in line with all our other packages. it will depend on what parts you would like as well as what options and or upgrades.

olds87 09-29-2011 10:14 AM

Hi Blake. Do your upper and lower control arms allow bigger tires up front? What the back spacing on wheels? Looking to put 18x9 on all 4 corners.

frojoe 09-29-2011 10:29 AM

Damn that looks good... always love that generation of G-body... now if only I could see that stance/wheels on a black Monte Carlo SS :cheers:

Thanks for answering my question. Are you going to have this car at SEMA?
Is there any plans of building a T-56 crossmember for g-body cars?

Blake Foster 09-29-2011 07:56 PM

LOL i don't think the car will go to sema but thanks for thinking it is WORTHY :thumbsup: can't say i have ever seen a GN at SEMA,

olds87 09-29-2011 08:49 PM

Is there any chance of making t56 trans crossmember down the road?

Blake Foster 09-30-2011 09:17 AM

Have thought about it. but there are alot of other things on the list infront of that. sorry

If you do make it down the road. I know you be first ones, that I know of. Thanks for your responding back.

Can you share picture of rear suspension on car, with us?

fesler 09-30-2011 10:49 AM

That looks really good and I am sure its a blast to drive.

Blake Foster 09-30-2011 03:23 PM

It's 154% ( thats just an estimate) improvement over the original stuff thats for sure.

That may be an understatement! :D

I can only imagine the difference is close to night and day.

Blake Foster 10-01-2011 04:12 PM

yea night and day would probably be a better description.

Great looking car Blake. Finally someone has backed up that great motor with a first rate suspension and brake package. :thumbsup:

Now maybe chop that top 1.5" :unibrow:

CRCRFT78 10-01-2011 05:48 PM

Can you post up more pics of the suspension setup? I love the wheel/tire combo also. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Blake Foster 10-02-2011 09:33 AM

olds87 10-08-2011 12:02 AM

Pictures of suspension next week?

Blake Foster 10-08-2011 11:42 AM

working on it, really busy, will do my best this week end to get something for you

olds87 10-08-2011 05:34 PM

I understand. You one of the busiest people in this industry.

Would your rear upper and lower control arms work okay with Ebiach springs? I got all of my front suspension from SC&C already.

Blake Foster 10-09-2011 10:32 AM

Yes for sure, you will also need the ProTouring adjustable sway bar as the factory one will no longer attach to the lower trailing arms.

Blake Foster 10-11-2011 09:30 PM

Sorry the pics are not Catalog quality.
here are a couple of the rear. the package includes the Trailing arms with Articulink joints, delrin busoings adjustable uppers and lowers with adjustment for antisquat and instant center. the coilovers are Ridetechs this set are the non adjustable ones that we are testing out. Protouring adjustable sway bar as well.

http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/...odyarms002.jpg

And some of the front. this package uses the Speedtech new Tubular arms AFX Spindles, and ridetech coilovers, as well we have done a front chassis/steering box brace. The new Protouring hiclearance sway bar.

Any Questions let me know

FastCat431 11-12-2011 10:41 AM

Love this car and definitely considering these parts for my WE4 Turbo Regal.

instro84 11-12-2011 08:00 PM

Blake how would that triangle brace fit with a stretch intercooler? i have the DSE one and they interfere with the ic.

Blake Foster 11-13-2011 09:28 AM

i will guess that it will also not fit, there are so many different combos you can really only make them for the original set up, A buddy of mine also has a GN with an aftermarket intercooler and our chassis brace won't fit his,
you would probably have to have one cusom made.

NBM-WU8 11-17-2011 08:52 PM

When might we see prices released on the GBody pieces? May be interested in some pieces in the near future for our MCSS.

Blake Foster 11-18-2011 09:26 AM

Next week

NBM-WU8 01-11-2012 10:57 PM

Any price releases on these parts yet?

Blake Foster 01-12-2012 09:32 AM

The parts that are available to sell are priced on the site.
if you would like any additional info feel free to call.
