    My name is Ian. I bought this Grand Prix almost a year ago for cheap with a rod knock (blown intakes go figure). I also own a 421 powered 95 Impala and my true baby that needs rings my 89 sentra...got 39mpg last time I drove her. I work at Fine Tune Auto in Lansing. Basically what I have done to the car was pull the motor to assess damage and ended up getting a rebuildable core from KB Cores in Kankakee, IL. Machine work would have cost more then the $100 the entire engine cost me. So did all polishing and boring myself, engine looked to have low miles and cylinders were well within spec of stock bore, reused lifters like a A**hole! Went with all new parts and some bolt on parts but I NEED TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE STOCK!! Almost went with top swap but looked outside and saw my..."slightly" modified Impala and just want something nice that doesnt live on jackstands. And its gone well...done speakers, tint, tires, lights and VERY soon to be my springs/springs. My front ones are shot and give me a terrible drive on the highways. Looking to do a 1.5 drop with KYB's...I already have mounts, pogo washers and trying to figure out where I get the mount spacers from or just make them myself. So here she is in order of bought to now...and here is a link to my Youtube so you can see the BeaSSt 427 Stroker Impala SS The BeaSSt spray - YouTube

    Lol these tires are beastly. The day i bought them we had rain, sleet, to frozen roads to snow and they laughed at them all the way. And they are 80k tires which i find hard to believe. They are loud as hell but i like em so far. The falkens i had on before that i took off and threw through discount tires window and made them give me my money back. I cant complain
