Yea, thats why I am looking for a little help. Definately got bad vibes from these guys, but I figured that the only way you can get a diamond is going into the coal mine. The T-Type he has is an 1985 with an 89 TTA motor with "35k" but noone knows for sure, of course. T-Tops, A/C, PW, P. Antenna, and thats about it. Radio isn't working, a little surface rust on the car, etc. and it has been sitting for 3 months, and he has had it for 6 months. The engine has a hard idle to it. Almost sounds like a cracked motor mount. The spark plugs are old and the gas is old, and he guy is telling me that the fella that sold it to him told him it needs a new fuel pressure regulator and wires to run a higher setting on the thumbwheel chip. It has cold air intake, maybe 3", 3.5" MAF (not sure), 3" downpipe, stock intercooler(looks like a TTA intercooler though, so thats good) blue tops, trans was rebuild for "street" and it shifts hard. Now, the big thing, the turbo is not stock I don't think. Guy tried to say it was a "76, or 66, something" but admittedly he didnt know. I know its Garrett and thats bout all I could tell, but I really doubt it was anywhere near that big. The car ran real strong, breaking traction all over the place, the car started rough, smoking some and with a shakey idle, but after we ran it around a bit it was burning clean and idling alot better. Made sense when he told me it had been sitting for 3 months. The turbo is in the right spot. It's def. an LC2 motor. The guy that was taking me around with it ran it when he first got it, saying that it would murder anytihng he had on his lot other than his viper, and he actually was somewhat knowledgeable, going off of what the first owner had told him I'm sure. And i would definately plan a nice fat tune job by a pro, maybe Cal Hartline over here in Brevard county. Are there any good Buick guys in Orlando, as far as shops go? He is asking 5975 by the way. Thanks for all of yalls help....I am hoping to go out sometime this week.
