Let me get this straight. They took out the 4.6L, put in a 5.0L and a carb? I fail to see that they could make cheaper power with buying a new engine and stuff. Let alone nothing ever working in the dash again.

I imagine he would still need to learn how to interface the remaining chunks of the ECU that you need for poo poo like power windows, the radio, and the ignition immobilizer with the carburetor - which strikes me as a lot harder than picking up "Fuel Maps for Dummies" and just getting over the fact that it's no longer 1965. I'm trying to talk Slung Blade into buying this for his highway commute:

This thing is closer to Eau Claire than it is Wausau. Was going to offer to take more pictures of it and possibly a test drive since I'm headed up that way in a week but it's too drat far from my destination.

Up to this point I was thinking it looked like a Fox body Mustang had a retarded child with an Integra, but now that you point it out, yeah... exactly. Honestly, the whole front end makes me feel like what's happening on the back end isn't all that bad. Sort of like how getting your toe smashed isn't that bad if you have a terrible toothache.

Mighty Horse posted:If it was anything like my '84 I used to have, about 70MPH. What is all this ridiculous hate? My first car was a 1988 Buick Skylark Limited and it was awesome. I liked the way the car looked, the digital dashboard was awesome, and the car was very comfortable. The Quad-4 engine was peppy as heck, and I had that car up to 116mph before what I assume was the electronic governor kicked in. I loved that car.

Buicks in general are considered boring cars for old people, and the Skylark, being the cheapest low-end Buick at the time, is considered to be a car for nerds and people old before their time. And frankly, the Skylarks were pretty fugly cars in the '80s. If you were a cool kid and wanted something similar in the GM line, you would have gotten something like a Quad4 Grand Am, instead of the Buick. Although it was the same car, the ribbed plastic cladding and lack of chrome made the Grand Am less of an old man's car. Also, I'm guessing you didn't own that Skylark for a very long time, because over the long run, the Quad4 had a reputation for being troublesome.

The 80's were a nightmare for GM. The N-body is just one of their examples of "excellence". That decade tainted many on the products that they offered, they were simply not good cars. At all. People didn't stop buying their cars for no reason. They are just pulling out of that horrible time now. Perception is a powerful thing.

"Rolling body" sounds to me like "stripped bucket of bolts" and who knows what's going on with the rest of the package. It sounds like this guy bought everything for way more than he should have, tore the car apart to prep for the swap and then realized it would never, ever be completed. I'd stay far away.

Toyota used to do it here too but stopped(The Cressida, Supra, and Celica All had unique badges) when that stupid sombrero-hat thing came into use in 1991. Nissan, Mazda, and Toyota just used to have stylized versions of their names on they that they offered, or unique badges for the high-end models. The new symbols that replaced the old lettering are either really ugly(Mazda, Toyota) or do not work very well on a car(Nissan). I know it was to build "brand-identity" or something but what could be more recognizable than the company name? KlementGottwald fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Aug 31, 2010 |
