This is also good because when i put in #80 injectors i definitely want to give as much info and impactful parts installed as possible. Maybe get a new converter...

    FEW MORE PARTS

    Thanks. I would call this “stage 1”, The underside. The upper shows well, but has some rusty panels, dents scratches. It’s a project where my family and I do what we can with our skill set and tools. The rest will have to go to a pro. September is the big month. Hopefully.

I think this time I want to try pro touring. Clean, tight underside, lowered stance. 18” wheels.. but, I will not...

    Looking for a belt tensioner

    Ya I’ve had the car for three weeks now. I’ve done some “tune-up/maintence” work. I’m sure this won’t be the last broken thing I find. Lol I’m composing a list of things to get.

    What Inspired You to Buy Your Turbo Buick ??

    In '87 I was 12 years. My brother was looking to buy his first new car. He gravitated to a Monte Carlo SS. I was hoping he'd buy it. Parents said no. He got a brand new '88 Cavalier Z24. I always gravitated to g-bodies. My uncle's & friends dad's cutless's. Fast forward to 1991-1992. I learned...

Why not just use a suspension lowering kit? Do you use the original...
