From Cavalier to...
Wednesday, August 15, 2007 5:00 PM
It has been a while since I posted on here, and especially after th orange car was killed by the minivan. So after an unemplyed stint here is the 2004 Buick Regal GS.

When the car came home (just a week after the cavy got in the accident):

First mod was a suspension upgrade with a kit that GM puts on the Police Impala:


Then an upgrade to F-body front brakes:


Then once I got a new job I went crazy on go fast parts, and took only one pic of the uninstalled parts, and that was the new 1.9:1 rockers:


Other upgrades include headers, u-bend delete, resonator delete, EGR delete, dual cat back exhaust, smaller pulley, fenderwell intake, and HP tuners (with some help fromt a guy ion NY):



Other mods include tinted talis and windows:


New tires, cleaned up wheels and some other subtle mods:


thought I would share, comments welcome.

The 2004 came with no strut tower bars and no performance shift, so I am added everything, front and rear braces with custom "Don Rome" brackets to mount them.

Awesome.

Bigger rims, non-chrome would cap that car off nicely IMO.

yes the f-body 12" 2 piston calipers fit with most of the stock 16's for the regal and the g/p

they wont fit the lace/mesh wheels


the 00-05 monte and impala , and the intrigue came with 12" single piston calipers , and they are a bracket swap for the g/p , uses the stock caliper
