    A++ Built6spdMCSS

    Bought some lightly used rear springs from Built6spdMCSS. He worked with me when we had hangups, communicated very well, and sent a well packed box. Everything you could ask for. Now I just hope the springs are a good match to my modified front setup, but that's on me this spring!

    An Interesting Option For External Slaves

    My manual swap has kicked into high gear, and while trying to find information on pilot bearings I came across something intriguing from the Jeep world. https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/clutch/kit-hcr3/ Thanks to Jeep using various engines over the years, there seems to be a pre-fab option...

    SickSpeedMonte/PTP Clutch Pedal. F-Body vs Universal opinions

    I would like to use a Pro Touring Products clutch pedal kit, but I don't know which I should buy. Based on community experience, what's the better option? Desires: Good function and won't leave me up a creek without a paddle if I need a new master cylinder. F-body style concerns: Pushrod is...

    If I had to start over...

    For starters, if anyone recognizes me, the only new developments on my project are an ebay T5 shifter and blue smoke out of my passenger side tailpipe. No garage yet. Saving money for a house yet wanting more than ever to hotrod, I thought of all the money I’ve spent on my clean slate bone...

    Mechanical or Hydraulic? (vote)

    I can’t decide! I’m doing a manual transmission swap and I can’t decide between a hydraulic throw out or a factory type mechanical setup. I would prefer to do an external slave cylinder style but that seems like it will take some skilled fabrication out of good metal. This is a Buick V8, a...

    BUICK The Final Objective (Mission Accomplished, 7/23)

    Hello, all. Been signed out for a while. I'm mostly making a thread here to keep my plans straight and receive any advice or help that may pop up. I'm making a new thread because I've been gone long enough to get my build thread locked. To get you up to speed, I have a 1987 Regal with a 1976...

    REGAL Project: "Blue Jay"

    To explain the name (using wikipedia): The blue jay is a "passerine" bird in the family "Corvidae," (which includes crows and ravens, [insert GN/GNX reference here],) native to North America. The blue jay is a noisy, bold, and aggressive passerine. It is a moderately slow flier (roughly 32–40...

    Effects of Dislike/Disagree?

    I suppose this is directed toward GP403 and the mod staff: Does leaving a "dislike" or "disagree" on a post leave any sort of negative effect? Are there any ramifications concerning the recipient's statistical reputation? I mean I wouldn't mind clicking one of those two just to save some time...

    Wanna help me build a 12 bolt rear?

    So I'm trying to help my dad get the ball rolling on his long-stagnant '65 Biscayne (Impala (B body)) and I was asked to work on getting a rear end built. I have some (of his) 12 bolt 4-link housings to work with and a girdle cover to use. They're open-diff rears that need rebuilt. I only need...

    24 inch Tires??

    Does anyone have pictures of a G body or similarly sized vehicle with 24"/25" tall tires? I'm tire browsing for summer and noticed that 225/50/R16 has some good aggressive tire options, but according to a tire calculator those come out to 24 7/8" overall height. I try to hover around 26" overall...

    Short-term 4-speed: Worth the effort?

    Ever since the early days of my "Buick Regal GTB" build thread (which has long since been deleted) I've always day dreamed of using a manual transmission. The plan was always to use a 5-speed or better, but some other aspect of the car always came first. Paint, suspension, engine swap, rear...

    Burgundy GBF Sticker??

    Has this happened to anyone else?? Before you ask: No, it is not the blood of my enemies. Maybe the sun did it? I expected it to fade, but this is strange. ha. Is the forum still having these made?

    EDIT: Question about lug knurl size.

    ---------New Edit------------------- I'm finally getting around to ordering parts. I'm looking for 12mm / 1.5 pitch studs, but I'm very confused as to what would be the correct knurl size. The more I look the more I see numbers from .501 up to around .580, and it's different every time I find a...

    What Are The Stock A-arm Dimensions??

    Like the clumsy rookie I am, I did the tall upper ball joint conversion without getting a shorter upper A-arm. Now I have way too many camber shims and I'm stuck with nearly positive camber. I'm looking at the much-talked-about Speedway tubular uppers as a replacement which are 8" and 8.5" for...

    I Need Sound System Suggestions!

    Hello all. It's been quite a while since I've posted but I've got a decent income again and I'd like to start playing with my car again here and there. I've decided that I'd like to deck-out the sound system. :banana: It's one of the few things on my Regal that I've not messed with. It still has...

    ...So now what?

    Sometime during the last 2 runs (hopefully during the last one) of an autocross last weekend, my harmonic balancer came apart and it is now junk. The engine, other than swapping it, is the one part of my car I haven't messed with yet. I have limited knowledge of engine building and I'm not 100%...

    Massive Power Steering Fluid Loss

    I have an issue with losing a LOT of power steering fluid when I autocross. I think it may be coming from the vent in the cap, unless it's one of the lines "failing" at high RPMs which I can't observe. It gets all over the driver's side wheel well. Has anyone else had this problem?
