Took the new White Limited I got from Brian at Gbodyparts.com this morning for a spin:biggrin::cool:

I forgot how cool it was to ride in a bone stock car that pulls like a train plus drives and rides like a cadi, I LOVE IT:D:cool::biggrin:
 
Where are the pics!!!!! You cant post about a Limited without showing some pics of it!!!:tongue:

i was thinking the same thing. THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT PICS ;)

CONGRATS ON THE NEW PURCHASE
 
That's what I love about my almost stock GN, as a TR I can drive it instead of always wrenching $$$ on it.
 
Not cleaned up or anything, just a couple of quick cell phone snaps;)

Very nice. One reason I won't go to crazy with my car (besides the limited funds) is the more you get away from them being stock the less fun they are to drive on the street. Another thing I noticed especially when my bro had his GN is the minute you change the wheels from stock to something like Weld ProStars, Draglites, etc. the car does not ride like a Caddy anymore.

Don't mean to disagree but hitting 20+ PSI on alchy, a nice open dump and good tune while rolling on some 18" CCW's or Simmons wheels seems pretty fun to me.:biggrin:
 
I hear ya Shane.....I have a white limited I bought from kirban in 1994 for a great price, got it with 61k, has 67k on it now and runs great and and quick. I think we sometimes forget how nice a pure stocker is, I love my Limited:biggrin:
 
I took this nice gentleman from Queens for a ride with his new setup I put together for him.
His car cam in making 238RWHP and left making 545 RWHP.
The smile he had on his face when we got sideways at 40 MPH was priceless.:D

This was a low miler and drove like stock.

Very nice car Shane
 
Very cool car, I agree on the stock TB just keep it running like a top and enjoy it! There are lots of factory rides now putting out some HP and would leave the Buick standing there. I also enjoy my car at 28psi but also remember driving a stock car with the stock GN 15s and pump gas quiet exhaust , a/c pumping, with cruise on.was very cool.;Miss that.Maybe I am just getting old?

Nothing wrong with 20+lbs of boost, I run about the same when I'm in the mood to have a little fun on 100 octane. Can't comment on the 18" wheels cause I personally wouldn't put them on one of these cars but that's just me. Your mileage might vary.;):cool: I've been in enough of these cars from varying degrees with different combos to know which I like more for a fun daily driver and which one is more of a weekend warrior/track car. I'm sure I'll be called a dinosaur for this, but one of the best turbos you can have for these cars in terms of fun factor in my opinion based on real world experience is the TE34 with the old school Garrett .63 exhaust housing. With a stock D5 converter it is hard to beat IMO.
 
I got a few other TR's in just about level of performance so I think this one is going to get a good spring cleaning and a hot wire kit... It is just so nice I hate to change much about the car...

I am going back to Brian's to find another driver I think;) He has an 87 v8 car that has been switched to a V6 so I would have no reservations about getting nasty with it;)

Thanks for all the compliments! This is my first limited and I must say I REALLY enjoy it:cool:
