Default Project GSiX It's all Buick

Ok so after 13 years of sitting around watching everyone else have their fun it was time to find some room in the shop and get started.

Original introduction can be found here:
https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=19183

I have been collecting parts and building this in my mind for years. My son is almost driving age and this is an incentive to get of the video games and work and drive/race a real car. Don't think I have lost my mind, this is my car he can build his own.

Plan is to get this on the road minus the paint and body work and get all the bugs worked out and then blow it apart and make it nice. Mostly plan to AutoX but won't back down to take it anywhere and open it up.

GSiX comes from combining GSX and the Turbo 6 the dot the i will be the turbo six logo.

The plan:
Buick Turbo 6 from Grand national
FAST engine controller
Switch pitch 400
Updated suspension and braking
Updated interior with some GN parts
Drive the crap out of it!






engine set in for fittment, BGC intake, ATR stainless headers, 67 turbo, powerstroke intercooler

]
must not weigh the same as the weak straight 6 it replaced nose bleed high in front


This might help, CPP c5 spindles, SPC upper arms,hotchkis front drop springs, C5 brakes






that's looking better
