    Brake pedal not returning

    so this isn't the standard issue of a pedal not returning after pressing it. Car is an '86 T-type with converted vacuum boost. Up until about a year ago the brakes were great. Things went south due to mice chewing things, I took it to a local mechanic (I live in the mountains) and they ended...

    Kitsap CO and surrounding areas

    Nice weather is here and there are some local get togethers. Would like it if some other Turbo Buicks could show up! Or we could all get together for cars and coffee if anyone is interested.

    Buick trunk emblem

    Got this today from a vendor that doesn't have them listed as discontinued or anything. I think the font might be SLIGHTLY different...but for $22 I think it looks great! Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

    Swapping Radiator

    So I would do a search for this, but every time I try it says there is an error... So here is my question to the general population. Is there anything I should know before getting into a swap? I'm looking and it looks like unbolt/bolt back in. Pitfalls? Thanks.

    Window guides

    So I am replacing the plastic pin guide on the drivers side window and to do so I took out the two pieces of metal with the soft felt that the glass rides on. Now I'm wondering if they are supposed to go back on a specific way. Are the two pieces interchangeable? Or are there differences...

    Pumpkin Carving

    So I took the wife and kids to a farm out here in WA state that had some fall activities. Hay ride and maze, corn maze, pumpkin patch, and a few other things. Kids and wife picked out pumpkins and I figured I would give carving one a shot instead of just doing a traditional Jack-o-lantern...

    True Story Bro

    For awhile now I have had an alcohol injection kit for my Buick sitting around. I've tried several times to install it per the instructions and something has gone wrong each time. Well, today I finally got it to work properly (though NOT via the instructions) and I was very happy. The boys...

    headliner

    Does the listing for the hard top headliner NEED the extra parts for the dome light, or can I re-use the ones currently in my car? Also, the listing says that you only need new REAR headliner clips to re-install. Do you sell those individually or only as the group of front and rear? Thanks

    Suspension and steering rebuild for beginners!!!

    I’ll start this off with a big shout out to TB.com member CharlieF1. He has been a HUGE help both through email and on the phone. I can tell you I would not have been able to do this without his help. Almost a month ago I started a thread about replacing my front suspension, steering...

    2008 Buick Lacrosse Super

    I've got a buddy who is thinking about getting one of these cars and was asking me if I know anything about them (apparently owing a T-type means I know all things Buick...lol)... Does anyone have any experience with these cars? After reading the reviews I can understand why he is trying to...
