This is our wonderful Buick Roadmaster.

Chevysnbuicks's 1995 Buick Roadmaster

Runs nice and fast. Gets 17 mpg usually in town, but more like 23 or 24 on the highway. Not too bad for a 5.7 litre V-8. It's a 1995 model. It has the standard to buicks Grand Touring Suspension, plus the standard Concert Sound 2 Speaker system.

As far as modifications go, it is bone stock. No cold air intake, No exaust systems, no mods to the fuel intake, except the in-tank fuel pump (it had to be replaced, so why not get the top of the line one?) We would very much like to get rid of the big ressonance chamber on the air intake. It would sound better...

If I actually get this car to drive, I'll be doing many mods to it. For one, I will get the wood grain deleted, we hate it. Also, I'll get it painted a different color than "Dark Green Grey Metallic." Probably two tone black and white like an impala. I'll also get some different rims, I might convert it to an Impala SS wagon, I've seen it done, and they look sweet. I'll also get the stance I want for it, slightly lowered. *Evil grin* Of course, I'll do whatever I can to get better performance from it. Cold air intake, exaust system, probably a better cam, fuel injection system, intake manifold, computer, the works. Right now it's probably around 275hp peak with around 290 Ft. Lbs. of peak torque stock. Anywho, after doing mods, it won't get driven as much by me as the little nissan stanza we have that I'll be fixing and driving so I can wreck it and not worry about replacing my buick (nissans are disposable, Buick Roadmasters aren't.)

Might get fixed up. I'll replace the stearing wheel, get a nice radio in it, maybe Satilite radio, and I'll make some sort of adapter for my Creative MP3 jukebox. I'll fix any wiring problems that there are (like the passenger side window switch doesn't work, it must be rolled down using the driver's controls) Maybe fix the power seats, the passenger side's motor is very weak, and the driver side's lumbar support doesn't work... In the very back, I'll get rid of all the rust on the seatbelt connectors, plus redo the carpet back there.

That's it for now.

Ok, I'll keep all that in mind. I just want to squeeze as much power out of the LT1 as possible on 93 octane. Programming the PCM is definatly close to the top of the list of mods for it. Btw, thanks for the specs on it, I didn't know for sure, it has more torque than I thought it did... he he. Thanks for all advice, I'll come in handy when we have permission (from mother...) and money to spend on it.

Hello.

I like your wagon.

By the way, DGGM is an Impala SS color. There was Black, Dark Green Gray Metallic, and Dark Cherry Metallic. That's it for the Impala SS colors.

I also like the wood on the B-Body wagons. That's part of what makes 'em cool. The perfect sleeper. It's up to your personal preference though. I've seen some DGGM woody wagons with 20's and lowered, with tinted windows, and they look great!

As far as mods go, your in-tank fuel pump is stock. That's how GM built them.

Stock, your car has 260hp and 330lbs/ft of torque.

There are literally tons of mods you can do, but before you do any of them, do a lot of reading, before you make any mistakes. The ISSCA Forum (impalassforum.com) and the NAISSO Forum are great places for the info that you need. From your list of mods that you want to do, I can see that you better do a bit more research. For example, the intake manifold. There is nothing you can do to it other than port it for a 58mm throttle body, that you won't need. Also, the fuel injection system. The only mod you'll need, maybe, is larger injectors. Again, that's if you go with a big cam, or other power adders like a blower, turbos, or nitrous. But there are tons of things you need to do first. Programming your PCM is something to look at. Check pcmforless.com. Bryan Herter can help you make your Roadmaster a Road Monster!!!

Just trying to save you some time, money, and headaches. I've been there, and done it myself :) I started buying the wrong parts when I got my RM. Had to re-do a few things.

Looks like you have a great wagon to start with. Good luck to you on your project. Keep your site up to date with your mods.
