Recently acquired '98 GS

Nothing fancy or special. First two images are the ones I saved from the CL ad. Had to get something up so Scottydoggs would know this Regal does in fact exist.

Couple engine bay shots after replacing the very old, ragged K&N that was on at least 3 different cars over the years. Don't mind the IAT sensor, hooked it back up when I was finished adjusting everything.

Mods: 3.5/3.2, SSIC, plog, 3" catless DP, '99+ TB, 4" HAI, and powrtuned (along with all the little supporting crap i'm not going to list as mods). Swapped the seats from my parts '97 GTP, ones that came with the car were jacked. Eventually going to swap out all the door panels, and sun visors (damn GTP ones not interchangeable). Like that this thing is completely non-threatening, nobody would expect it to have any balls at all. Not liking the fact there's some ABS crap in the passenger firewall area by the strut tower, don't even think I can put a '99+ coolant bottle there. SVS/ABS/Trac/Brake lights are on, haven't bothered troubleshooting it much. I'll eventually pull the m/c and module off my GTP and stick it on, since they're the same, doesn't bother me enough to do right away, though. My attention is on the wife's '98 SE for now, need to finish cleaning the engine bay, re-gasket the 60k L36 and drop it in.

Picked this thing up for $1400 off CL, put maybe $500 into it so far. New front wheel bearings, pads/rotors all the way around, all new motor mounts (full poly uppers, solid lower engine/trans), LIM gaskets, trans fluid/filter, tie rod ends, plugs/wires, and a couple oil changes. Currently in the process of removing the dexshat from the cooling system, its an ongoing battle. The tint is fairly new, also had a cheapy paint job done on it not long before I bought it. Just the basic stuff any 166k mile wbody would need (suspension/handling will be next).

Plan was just to make it a nice running daily driver, had the mods sitting around so said screw it, they might as well get used. Runs really good, liking it so far overall, and really enjoy the sleeper aspect of it. People are fairly familiar with GTP's nowadays, Regals look like Century's, so fewer people know what it is.

Almost forgot the most important mod:

Should be good for 12's with that bad boy on there!

nice regal. that color grows on me every time i see it.

that window trim under the HP adding sticker. it comes off real easy then you can cut, scrape, sand, that old plastic off and re paint them. i had to do mine, people were getting cut up left and right on them.

and you need some tint on them tail lights.

Yeah I'm gonna get to those eventually, was searching ebay looking for a set to no avail. Probably end up pulling and refinishing like you said. I have a GP dual exhaust I could toss on eventually, too, don't wanna f the rear bumper up doing it, and that might make it stand out a little more than I'd like. What's the limit on the regal catback? I know it's less than the gp's, not sure how much less though.
