    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    Not actual to my Regal, but I moved and have been cleaning out and prepping my garage at new house. I started with some new LED lights(not done) and then I sanded the floor, fixed the cracks and the resanded floor. After that I epoxy coated the floor and very happy with results. Still have...

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    Redid my rear taillight lenses. The ones I had someone do were too dark so the lights were hard to see. I redid this set myself so I could make sure I still had good visible lights. Also started replacing front headlights with projector bulbs with Halos. Driver side original, passenger...

    Regal Headlight Bezels

    I am trying to find the proper screw inserts for the header panel so I can properly attach the headlight bezels. I can find ones that fit, but none of them have a deep enough body to fully get through the header panel so that when the screw goes in it is secure. Does anyone know where to...

    The tree rodents need to die

    How the heck a squirrel do that? I have ejected a T-top at 80mph on the highway because I forgot to latch it and it bounced. Only messed up the trim edge.

    Buick Encore vs. Chevy Trax

    I can comment on this. I own a 2013 Encore so a few years old now. I looked at both the Encore and the Trax. To me the Trax just looked, felt, and drove cheap, quick frankly I hated it... The Buick just looks nicer inside and out and drove much smoother. I went with the leather interior...

    Why Is GBF So Laid Back?

    Well, the one set of rules that is enforced on GBF and I have not seen anywhere else is the "stick to topic", "no personal BS against posters" "No politics". I also believe that because G-bodies are not a mainstream car genre it attracts those of us that are more into cars for the fun and...

    Side exit exhaust - FINISHED

    That is why I made my side exit also. Hated the look of round rear exit pipes and purchased ovals that looked good were crazy priced. Then add the headache of going over my independent rear and side exit just made sense and I liked the look on my car. Yours turned out looking nice, good...

    Old School 350 EFI Conversion

    I have had great success with my F.A.S.T. Ez-EFI ver1 (Now EZ-Fuel) and I just upgraded to the XFI Street ECU. This system has been extremely reliable, economical, and great improvement over the carb. I went this route because I already had spent money on my igniotion system when I had a...

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    With the new one I am able to custom edit the fuel curve and adds more variables to the fuel trim. Also allows me to store and load different tunes for the engine if I want to. Also adds Datalogging of the ECU monitored inputs / outputs. Has adaptive learn like tyhe original, but it allows...

    Craftsman ratchets?

    I guess my experience w/ USA Craftsman is different in that I have had very limited issues with the rachets. In 30 years I have probably only broken 2 3/8" rachets, 1 1/2" rachets and 1 1/4" rachet. I will not buy any of the China crap Craftsman and very saddened that Sears went into the...

    Maybe amp problem? Battery arcs.

    Are you using a capacitor on you amp? If so it will arc on initial connection, but it should not be so excessive that it melts the threads. If you are it is probably an issue that needs looked at. If you are not running a large capacitor in the system you have a major issue.

    Efi in the aftermarket

    I will chime in. I converted mine to F.A.S.T. EFI system. My car runs better, faster, more reliably, and better fuel economy. Absolutely no downside to the swap. I had the benefit that I started w/ a Turbo Regal so I already had an EFI Tank and pump. I had already swapped in a 383 SBC...

    How much time do you think we have left?

    With today"s technology and IMO any of the foreseeable technology automated cars will not work in the varying weather and other environmental or animal intrusions on the roads in rural areas. In the city all these variables are controllable and for the most part programmable into the cars...
