    ahahaha. okay the one kid told me the turbo job cost him 2000. now his friend is telling me the kid spent 3000-6000... thats a heck of price difference. and the he messed up by saying buicks suck. i sent him PROOF of everything i said. :Smarty:

    and im now just telling him he has a better car. i just want me and my buick to be left the heck alone. i had someone pass me on a fourlane yesterday, the DRIVER did a 180 in his seat(3 times) to look at MY CAR. and its dirty:laugh: . i bet he hasnt ever had someone do that to his little rice bucket. Aren't Buicks just FANTASTIC ? :pp

    Chase, you've got all summer to work on your car.

    There are lots of things you can do without spending too much cash, and just ask if you need more advice.

    Make sure you take time for the ladies and more importantly you guy freinds though because your only yopung once!

    Take care and have fun!

    Like we said, he was full of it. There may be hope for him yet since he fessed up.

    BTW, when kicking around the web for fast 240sx's, I found one that is a daily driver and does the 1/4 in 9.22 seconds. Then I saw the same car in an import mag. For the money he spent turbocharging the KA24 and building up the car, I could probably have restored both my Buicks. It's still impressive though.
    PS, check out the car he lines up against. :beers2:

    They work for their dad since they were 11, they make the highest grades in class 90% of the time... and the hope that they find a car like this cheap, when their dad is looking for them a car... Dad actually wanted to get me a Chevelle. but he didnt keep up with them since he sold his in about 76 i think. so and he didnt realize how much the prices were. but when he found this car that had been taken care of so well, almost all original , and reasonablly priced, we couldnt pass it up... :bglasses:

    I told you, dude. Guys like that run rampant around Abilene, TX. There was a guy in my auto tech class that told me he put a V8 in his '92 chevy cavalier:pp , though no one ever saw hide nor tail of the car. He insisted that it would beat my Big 'ol Buick, though. I doubt he even had a car. Anyway, check out this video on YouTube. Typical ricer guy, lying his A$$ off. A mustang GT-R??????????

    Take Care,

    There is a GTR actually but this isn't one of them. They were purpose built race cars. They came with full race trim including sanctioned roll cage. Not cheap. Basically built to buy and slap some numbers on it.

    I like the Reilly's GT-R sticker! LOL!

    hmm... now he is bragging about beat a stock tiburon ...wow... some guys you just cant help i guess...:Dou:

    BUT on the otherhand... I think I might have found someone that can help me do an engine swap...but what about the stock trans, will a 455 bolt right on to mine, or do i need to the th400?(i believe thats what its called).
    I'm going to buy a 455 soon, but i do believe im going to tinker around on it alittle before.Is there a way to tell if a junkyard engine is good or not? or should i continue my saving my 455 fund, and buy a 100% rebuilt one. so many choices, its unbelievible.
