New car as of o5-o7-o4! 1987 Buick Turbo Regal "T". Bought from my friend Brian at G BodyParts (www.gbodyparts.com)!!! See link to the left!!! I deal through him for most of my parts, plus he's helping me with my SFI, Turbo learning curve (I was a carb-kid)!!!
I'll have more pix soon. The car was bought stone-bone-STOCK except for KN filter, a meaner cam and a fresh radiator. Check out the few pix that I have.
Update (07/17/05):
Got on the major things that were starting to crap out AT 153K miles!!!! I'm not complaining!! Put on:
009s (42.5# injectors)
Limit Engineering TE44 turbo!!
Walbro 340 pump is installed!
Razor's PAC (Alcohol Injection)
Now let's just pray that my transmission holds...hahaha!! I'll post pics ASAP
Update (05/13/05):
Long time. Not much has been done, but summer is coming and I have a few go-fast and suspension plans for this 150K, 18 year old brick!!!
I did switch to vacuum brakes, which are A LOT more reliable than the previous PowerMaster setup.
Finally got my boost gauge in, A piller gauge holder just got shipped a few days ago.
Stay tuned... a 12 second, maybe 11, daily driver is in the works!!!
Update (12/23/04):
Had a couple of things I did/had done...
Hooker catback exhaust system... I like the stealthy silent system!!
Random Technologies High Flow Cat Converter!!! PASSED THE HECK OUT OF EMISSIONS!!!! I recommend it!
Hotwire kit for fuel pump
Walbro 340 pump (in my room, waiting for install)
LS1 mass air flow sensor (donor car: '99 z28)
Translator (for the maf)
For the winter I want to install the fuel pump, get some 255s out back, get 42.5 lb/hr injectors "009s" + chip for them, and get that front end body work done....
Update (1o/3o/o4):
Been a while, done a few things since last update!
3" MEASE DOWNPIPE AND TESTPIPE!!!!!!!! This bad boy spools up REAL quick and REAL LOUD!! And I'm only running half the boost that I did before we had it slapped on (MAD THANKS TO BWEAVY at GBODYPARTS)
Adjustable wastegate...controls boost, will tap the line and have on in-car soon!!
Boost Gauge (most likely putting that on tomorrow)
BLACK POWDER COATED T Wheels!!! LOOKS REAL NICE!!! Thanks go out to Gbodyparts again... yeah this is a Gbodyparts sponsered car!!
Got my scanmaster in there!
Stay tuned for injectors "009s" and ... dare I say... TURBO UPGRADE!!!
Got to do my body work now soon!! =D Next season I'll make a few passes, but I'm guessing I'm easily in the 13s now... NO questions asked! ;-)
Update (o9/o4/o4):
Red Armstrong's Spark Plug Wires!!! REAL NICE SET
other tune up stuff: CR43TS plugs...PCV valve...etc etc
Scanmaster is next along with a MINT set of stock T Wheels POWDER COATED!!! (like chrome)
