These cars still command a great deal of respect on the street.  Of course, there are still some who just don't understand how a V6 can produce such brutal performance.  There is no other car I know of that can go so fast for so little investment.

I get a lot of comments about this car.  Many people ask if it is a Grand National, which it is not.  Turbo Regals, whether a GN or not, all have the same drivetrain.  Actually, my car should have been a tad faster than a GN factory stock since it is not optioned out, hence it is several pounds lighter than a GN.  I get stopped all the time in parking lots by admiring people ... something that never happened with any other car I have owned.  That alone speaks volumes. 

The car is driven regularly and is not a garage queen.  I do not drive it in winter, but it gets very regular use in the summer time, as it should.  Cars were meant to be driven and this is my street machine.

This site contains many pictures of my car as well as other Turbo Regal related subject matter.  Please choose a category to the left to begin your journey.

I am a proud member of the GN/T-Type mailing list.  Visit www.gnttype.org today for all kinds of information on these fine automobiles.  There is no better source on the Net for all of your Turbo Regal needs!

The Buick recently entered the annual Springfest car show put on by Black Hawk County Street machines.  I took second place in Street machines 1983 to present class.  You can see some pictures from the show here.

The rear main seal has finally been replaced with a neoprene seal.  The old rope seal just wasn't cutting it anymore.  For good instructions, visit this link.

The MAF sensor finally failed, so I am installing a MAF Translator and an LT1 sensor.  GM has discontinued the stock Buick sensor, so this was the best route to go .  It flows better than the Buick unit, so you can't beat that.

The Buick is now in winter storage after another summer of virtually trouble free driving.  The TE-44 is currently out and is undergoing a rebuild to repair an oil seal.  Next in line is the leaky oil pan gasket.

Exhaust Pros installs my Hooker cat back exhaust system.  I am very happy with the results and the system doesn't have any exhaust drone at cruise, which is great.

Steve's Regal Visits Mechtronics and makes use of their DynoJet chassis dynamometer.  The results?  342 flywheel horsepower on only 15 psi of boost with just a Thrasher 92 street chip.  This is how the car is driven every day, so it is a true test of real street performance  The car was admittedly untuned and it was a very hot day, so once I get a handle on it with TurboLink, beware...
