Went out on a long test run through the neighborhood backroads and man what a car! I had to put some 1x4s down at the end of the driveway to keep from scraping the road. Also had a near panic moment coming across some new speed bumps. I recall seeing the lowered cars hit the bumps diagonally and that seemed to work just fine. To much traffic on the main roads and even on the backroads to get into the pedal though, plus the no tag thing...7 points -
LS4 swap begins

A little more clean up has been done. I need to order another round of terminals to crimp one of the fan plugs, and some others for the right electrical buss (fuse box), as well as the PCM terminals. I also need to either modify the throttle and cruise cables or get different ones, as they are overall too long (not a big deal), but more importantly, the throttle end is too short to attach properly. Also also, I'm debating retaining the EVAP function. I know I don't have to, but it doesn't hurt to have and helps to avoid having transient gas fumes venting all the time. Thoughts?7 points -
New (returning former) member with a new to me 1st gen survivor
primergray and 5 others reacted to Black92GS for a topic
Like the title says, I am a new member now, but I was a fairly regular member here around 15-20 years ago. My screen name at that time was Regal_GS_1989. I originally owned an 89 Regal GS coupe, a 92 Cutlass International Coupe, and finally a 2000 Regal Sedan. Life got busy, I stopped posting regularly, and the 2000 was sold off about 10 years ago for something newer and more family friendly. Time has marched on, and I am now in a position where I have the time and resources to be able to own a “weekend” vehicle. As luck, or possibly fate would have it, this beauty quite literally fell into my lap at the perfect moment… A 92 Regal GS Coupe. Black, Grey leather interior, low milage, One owner, garage kept its entire life, ordered new with every option box checked off…save for the sunroof. It’s truly worthy of the term survivor, and it’s exactly how I would have ordered one myself back in the day. Gotta say…it feels sort of strange to be back here posting again about a 1st gen coupe…but I can get used to that I am also surprised at how many screen names I still recognize as well!6 points -

Alright here she is, the 1989 Pontiac "2000 Le" from Trenton. For some reason that was what the auction lot labeled it as. I had a 3rd party inspector check it out and run the VIN prior to bidding. It was a one owner car from NJ until it went to the auction lot, a slight front end collision a few years ago that set its title into the salvage category. That had to have been repaired out of pocket and when the car was repainted as theres obvious overspray and some peeling around trim. Theres some slight scratches here and there as one would expect but over all it looks amazing for how old it is. 1st pic on the truck when it arrived, It didnt start at first so we pushed it off the trailer and into the driveway, the brakes worked great and the valence only suffered a little. It seemed to have a lot of odd electrical problems and wouldnt crank at all. Thinking it was the aftermarket alarm I went to pull the battery out so I could unplug the damn horn and saw it was from 2011. A new battery had the engine fired right up and I drove it around the block a few times then topped the tank off at the ethanol free place. ...TBC6 points -

NEW PURCHASE - 1994 Cutlass Supreme Convertible
rich_e777 and 5 others reacted to bluecalais79 for a topic
Over the weekend I did a down and back to central Florida to pick up a white 1994 Cutlass Supreme convertible I saw on Auto Trader. Pictures are forthcoming as I put the car right into storage for a few months until the weather turns. It has just under 60,000 miles and has the infamous 3.4 motor. It's got some issues but what old car doesn't. Someone got some crappy oily/sappy goo on the hood I will have to work at to get off. The weather-stripping around the tiny rear window is not staying on it so I'd better not drive this car in the rain until I fix that. The motor has a slight miss when idling and I'll guess being driven 100 miles in the last 10 (!) years might have something to do with that. I have new spark plugs and new spark plug wires on the way, it could use a good tune-up. The white top is filthy, I just ordered a kit to hopefully address that. The interior in this car is absolutely MINT and it's burgandy, really sharp. It has an aftermarket radio which gets the boot as soon as I locate a correct CD player so I can get those steering wheel controls working again. All in all I think this is going to be a great car once the above is addressed. NO rot underneath and no funny smells anywhere leads me to believe this car was always garage kept. Even the trailing arms have no rot. We'll see........6 points -
LS4 swap begins
92Lumi and 5 others reacted to carkhz316 for a topic
This is actually after I've consolidated all the LS4 and Z34 wiring. There are no extra wires left in this picture. It really looks worse than it is. Theres really only a few main bundles to sort through, otherwise the rest are categorized based on component/ sensor, etc. with labels at the PCM end so I can keep track of everything. The foreground bundle is the original Z34 front end harness that has the battery cable, ground cable(s), fan wiring, and any accessories on the drivers side of the engine bay, so it'll be returned back to the bottom of the radiator support. I had to take it apart to rid it of the old 4T65 wiring and some other bits.6 points -
