1990 TGP

Install race seats [brackets in the mail].

Install new steering wheel [wheel in my room].

Fix brakes [going to mechanic on Monday].

Have hood scoop installed [soon], and MAYBE a new paint job.

[Heza]

build up a L67 and 4t65e through the winter and install before summer next year.

[mihela816]

96 front brakes, intrax springs, kyb rear struts, GMPP trailing arms

[terryk2003]

GMPP trailing arms, GM STB (both in the mail), get my 5.25 components for the doors & an amp & new HU mount, install factory RKE system, then whatever other lil things i can come up with

 

...then find a L67 to swap in next summer!

[DiscoStudd]

Well, seeing as I'll have a garage as of 6/1, I'll finally be going to town on the Regal:

-Install the KYB struts, mounts, and boots that I've had since February.

-Replace the rear brake pads & rotors.

-I'll be re-painting and installing a factory W-Body rear sway bar (need to find a "nutsert" kit for cheap first.)

-Install the Grand Prix gauge cluster I have with a ProCarParts "Reverse OTTO" overlay (complete with a modified Cutty headlight switch pod housing the controls for the OTTO overlay.)

-If I can scrape enough money together this summer, I'll be mounting some skins on my 17" Eagle 192 wheels and mounting them on the car as well.

 

Next year (hopefully) :

-Birchmount rear leaf spring and Intrax front coils

-If I don't scrape enough money together to repaint the Regal, I'll at least get the hood and decklid repainted 'cause the paint is peeling something fierce on both...

 

Next winter (Fall '06-Spring '07) :

L67 swap, baybee!

[dsgrntld187]

This summer's plans for my car are as follows and in that order.

 

Do something about my brakes---- 96-up swap or figure something else out

Make the car run like a top

5 speed swap

[Guest TurboSedan]

as far as my Cutlass goes....

 

- replace the heads and top end on my 3.1 Turbo now that i have the heads fixed and timing chain replaced. right now it's just a matter of buying a bunch of gaskets and getting to work on it.

 

- get new balljoints installed on my '96 strut/knuckle assemblies, install my new Intrax springs, and then install it all in the car. then of course buy 11.25" rotors and new pads.

 

- try to somehow get my Addco bar to work :?

 

that's about it for the Cutty for this year

[Euro]

New

-front brakes

-balljoints/tie rod ends/alignment

-Power steering pump

 

---Sell it and buy either a 97+ Grand Prix GT/GTP or 97+ Buick Regal GS/GSE**seriously this time***

That's likely all I plan on doing to this thing, just making it look good cause I don't wanna spend any real money into it.

[Guest TurboSedan]

Some other exhaust mod's that's not mentioned

 

would those other "exhaust mods" by any chance have anything to do with a turbine, downpipe & wastegate?

If you wanna give me the gas money to run something higher than 93 octane, sure thing. I would love to turbo my 10.5:1 compression engine, still something I may do.

[MonteCarloChick]

Nothing..

 

I'm mainly going to be helping the hubby with his car. Yay for grease monkey work

:shock: yeah i don't think your current pistons & 93 octane would fly with boost!
