I was thinking about this the other day... 1. 1983 Buick Riviera XX Convertible Twin-Turbo (One of the Indy 500 pace cars; only 2 exist) 2. 1987 Buick GNX 3. 1985 Buick Riviera Convertible w/ Turbo (own it)

Okay... Thanks guys. I just wanted to see if any Riv owner has had success with the kit. :)

:confused: Come on guys, 157 views and nobody can answer my question? Surely there's a Turbo Riv owner in here somewhere that has tried this... Please help! Thanks!

Thanks guys, but my question still remains: Will it work on a Turbo Riviera?? Thanks for your help!

Hello Brad, I know the kit works well on a GN... I was wondering if anyone has tried to put it on a Turbo Riviera and if it works well and/or if there were any complications/modifications that needed to be made, etc. Thanks!

Hello Hot Air Brothers, I was thinking about getting one of Hueffman's Hot Air/Cold Air kits for my Riviera. Has anybody tried this? How well does it work? Thanks for your help!

Welcome, Brother! Thanks for the compliments! I am indeed looking for the heavy duty stuff especially going from a 3.15 to a 3.36 final drive. Let me know how that intercooler project of yours goes, 'cause, I too, have interest in doing the same... Thanks!

Eric, I did a little research on the '85 W15 and came up with this: http://members.tripod.com/~tishdish/index-15.html It looks nicer than the XX's! I've been looking exclusively for an XX to use the veneer for years, now at least I can also look for the two-tone '85's. Thanks for the...

Ah yes, the Riviera XX. Nice cars. Are you doing any work on the interior, cause I believe the XX's had genuine woodgrain appointments and leather/suade seats. Very posh. I've thought about doing something similar to that with my convertible. I think they were the first cars ever to offer a...

I'd like to extend an olive branch to all owners of '84-5 Riviera T-Types and Convertible Turbos. We elite brothers are so few. If you own one of these rare Rivs, then please sound off here so that we may easily contact each other with questions, comments, praise, etc. I just bought another...

I am currently looking for a Cat-Back Performance Exhaust System for my 1985 Turbocharged Riviera Convertible. Can any of ya'll give me some suggestions? Thanks for your help!

The emblem you are referring to was produced for the '84-5 Riviera T-Type's. They were located on the fenders below the Riviera script and another on the glove compartment. These are really hard to find as there were only around 2,300 Riv T's produced for '84-5. Do you have some? I'm looking...

Everything is stock on her right now but I'm eager to put some mods... where should I begin??? Thanks!

Re: Turbo Riviera Convertible Yeah, that's my pride and joy on CARDOMAIN... I really need to put some updated photos... I've since changed the protective bodyside moldings to white and chromed the side view mirrors... but about those fender logos, I added them, I figured it's essentially a...

HAS ANYONE EVER CONVERTED TO AN INTERCOOLER USING THE TURBO MOTION CONVERSION KIT. IF SO, HOW WAS THE OUTCOME AND WHERE CAN YOU FIND THESE KITS? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

I'm trying to figure out which of these Cold Air Systems to put into my 1985 Riviera Turbo Convertible. Any input from the experts would be greatly appreciated! Check out the links below: http://www.buickgn.com/hotairbigmouthkits.htm...

Is the Turbocharged 3.8L V6 engine in my 1985 Riviera T-Type identical to 1985 Regal GN's as far as finding performance parts are concerned? Any help with this matter would be GREATLY appreciated as it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find anything for Riv's! Thanks! RagTopRiv clamothe@bellsouth.net
