If I can chime in and give my two cents, I will. What I found was that tinkering was really fun when I had lots of time to do it. I don't now.I have never lost my desire for speed, though. Turn key is a really nice thing and there are plenty of cars out there that are, and for not a ton of money. Cu...

So what you are telling me is that I should spend my first $500 on him & not on anything else? I may have to follow that lead. The car needs tires before I can do any more of that speed stuff... I am in limbo & liquidating assests as quick as I can to support my habit!!

Little known Buick GS secret.....use frozen goose meat to cool down supercharger shaft so as to micronically shrink it to accept a 400 degree ( very hot ) pulley. ( good in theory, but didn't do anything ). BFH was the most important tool.

The boost looks correct & I am sure he is enjoying the speed. The project description sounds correct, although he forgot to mention we also incorporated the use of a sawzall as well & his car now weighs more by the exact weight of a 3/8" drive 13 mm shallow well 12 pt craftsman socket!!

Mr Basement.... My regal also had that problem with the driver's side window. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy a dorman window assembly. I went through 3 of them before I finally had a factory one installed. Dorman was JUNK!! I finally drew the last straw when I had to drive home from Carlisle in a misty...

They sound mint, they are light & they are supposed to flow 32% better than the stock ones. Win / win situation. I thought about aftermarkets, but did not want to listen to drone with the top down. ( Wife actually likes this car, need to keep it that way!! ) Also, to fast87, trevor is in the gra...

The guy on the floor in those photos is really Don Garlits!! Hopefully, the addition of these pipes & some air intake work will keep me in front of the smoker. Best et last year 13.62 @ 103. We'll see..... By the way, thanks for "the pucks" Walt (WXO), they worked sweet!!

I think anyone who works on a s/c buick must lay on the motor. I am nearly 6 foot & cuddling my motor was required. That's ok, my car & i have that type of relationship. We're tight!! You know, injection is nice, but..........
