Thread: Gtx has a turbo!! lol

Got it for around the same price as the one you are looking at.




Tossed a correct color bumper cover on it.


And a part or two

yeah this is my first big tear down so I want to go slow as possible I'm not trying to rush anything, and I just got the last of my gaskets and posts in the mail yesterday, when i have done it once i will be able to go through a little faster next time lol and I think the guy said it was a 98

It's definately a 98 if it's got a 25th emblem on it. See...cause Regals were started 25 years before 98

does that make it like the équivalent to a special edition Grand Prix Or 40th anniversary grand prix

truth is they are all pretty much the same, (regal to regal) minus the supercharger and the cloth interiors the ls got.

there is the GTX regal that slp put out, seen one of them, nice cars.

I've had 2-3 different LS with leather, come to think of it.. I don't believe Regal comes cloth. Century is cloth only. The reality is ... all the options were pretty standard. So on a regal, options would be
Dual auto climate vs Dual manual climate
Sunroof or not
Wheels, Brushed, Chrome and I think you could order steels with caps
GS charged vs LS not charged
Body on the GS was almost always two tone, LS was almost always single. You could order the two or single. Largely though, if you see a two tone, it's GS.
There was a spoiler add on that dealers sold, it was not a option that could be ordered TMK.
Autotinting exterior mirrors were an option. All exteriors are heated, but the autotinting was an option.
I believe you could also order the DIC in the LS, GS came standard with it.
The controls for dic/etc always had a blank button, there was not a feature for it.
Perf/not shifter. Depended on year IIRC. Might have been optionable

It has a sunroof and leather seats im guessing they are heated ill make it supercharged with a 3.4 set up, and yeah I saw that when I got the floor mats its called something different I thought

Its a gsx by slp might try and make a clone lol

first on the list is spoiler, badges, and maybe find a hood if they make them lol this is to much fun

Back on topic....


Get done with your build


Screw that regal talk you speak of

I got stuck at work a little longer, but yeah is the cam bolts torque 90?

74lbft first time Then for the last torque 90lbft

Oh ok thank you I have to do a few things for my grandparents then its off to build

Just curious since I know you scrapped your other GP you have something else to drive meanwhile while the builds going on?

yeah I get to drive a 2004 Saturn Ion with 23000 miles on it or a 2001 s10 pickup with 77000 miles on it, so I'm not really carless

My bad 02 s10

Ughhhh Saturns!!


No wonder your taking your time with the build

I hate the things im trying to get it done I miss my car

Who you telling lol it's been a good 2 years since I've really driven mine...guess I need to get motivated again.

Pffft Dan you were slow. I pulled the motor Friday and was waiting on a fuel rail until Sat to have it running. Could have driven it on Friday afternoon.

Where's ScottyDoggs.. he's got a funny story about working fast on cars.

I had to build my motor though and had to swap parts from the pulled motor.
