Wes got a new ride!!!

[louiegz]

I had some girls come up to me, and say "wow wes your car is really nice"... never got that in the Q! One girl actually made it a point to come by a SECOND time and say it again

What's wrong with these chicks in Indiana. They perfer the Buick over the Q? Dumb chicks, but they are usually the best kind. Hope the car gets you laid.

[rydwhite]

Hahaha, wouldn't that be something. A Buick getting someone laid. Well maybe it helps the old men with the old ladies, but I've never heard of it helping anyone younger than 65.

You're a trailblazer Wes.

[Jesda]

Bah! Midwest teenage girls wouldnt know a luxury import sedan if it ran them over and left an Infiniti belt buckle logo stamped on their foreheads. The only brands they recognize are "Mustang," "Civic," "Corvette," and "Grand Cherokee"

Friend of mine once had a 1988 Cavalier Z24 and noted that the spark system looked identical in your photos. Parts should be practically free!

[louiegz]

To get ofthe subject. Jesda, I've been having a very bad day. How bout sending a hug my way?

[Jesda]

This one's for you man, TDM-tyte! (Thai Domestic Market)



I was also just on the Buick site (curiousity struck) and noticed the LaCrosse replaced the Regal but theyre still carrying on the Century? Odd... I thought they were dumping both the Regal and Century for the LaCrosse. And you can still configure a 2004 Regal if you click on "Build Your Buick" but on the main page it doesnt show it.

I myself have had more compliments in my cougar than my 240sx. Chicks like that it looks like a "chick car." I just like it's comfortablility and how smooth it rides.

[Altiman94]

I have some aviator glasses around here somewhere. I lost them somewhere and can't seem to find htem. Guess I will have to go buy a new pair.

[elwesso]

I guess it must not be the car, its just the ladies have to find an excuse to come and talk to me!!!!!

When we are at the buick dealer (pre- Q death), they said the century is their biggest seller... THe lesabre and the regal dont do so well... Most people that might get the regal would probably get the grandprix, and those who might look into the lesabre would probably just go for the century!

This was actually one of the first times I parked in the front row of the parking lot...

[Jesda]

Really... I thought the LeSabre was the #1 selling full-size car in America (according to Buick print ads)? Then perhaps it is, but full size cars aren't selling too well. There's not much to choose from that price range really: the Chrysler 300 Touring, Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, and the Park Avenue. Does the Toyota Avalon count?

[Mr1der]

too bad it's not an April Fool's joke

enjoy your torque steer.

you get a free senior citizen's discout with it atleast?

[elwesso]

Really, torque steer isnt that bad..... Its evident but its not that bad at all.....

[1992Q45A]

The beginings of a fanboy, already present

Not evident? You have NO power

Try driving your grandpa car hard, you'll feel the underengineering

[elwesso]

Aww does ryan need a hug too!!!



HEY!!! WHO'S CAR RUNS BETTER NOW!!!!!!!

[1992Q45A]

You bashed on my car first chief. Just like you take any chance you can to mention the 94+s performance over the 90-93..

You antaganize, I react

yay!

[pito11213]

You guys need help not hugs

Hey wes get some black dark tint and some 18's and that ride will be sweet.

[Altiman94]

haha wes you look 12 dude. No wonder girls talk to you. You have those "boyish" good looks.

[MiniMan]

Man, I leave the family here at NICO for a couple days and look what you go and do Wes! Ahhh... can't blame you really. The Q wasn't exactly the perfect car for me either!

Glad to hear it's a new car and IMO, it looks AWESOME. Congrats on the purchase, though I hope you keep close to all the Infiniti General crew!

You're settled in a Buick now, I'm settled in a Bimmer... whatever makes you happy Wes, I say giver!

[Jesda]

Corey:

What kind of BMW?

[MiniMan]

It's an older (83) 533i that's undergoing an engine and transmission swap ASAP. The engine going into it is a turbo from an '84 745i (euro, 6 psi and 252hp stock) and the transmission is a good 'ole getrag (should be good for 400-500rwhp). I'm shooting for near 400rwhp with just a modified wastegate,ECU and custom mandrel bent exhaust! Ohhh god I love boost! Nothing like a 12 second car for under $4k CAD!

Corey

[Altiman94]

Pics of said project??

[1992Q45A]

Corey,

That's an awesome project. There was a 735i turbo for sale a few months ago for a couple grand. Looked like a really nice car

[MiniMan]

Altiman94, here's one exterior pic of my project 533i for you. She's got 280k miles on her and she didn't run when I got her. This is the car I fixed up, then drove 1500 miles home from Vegas in. The body is rust free as it was a desert car all it's life... the rest of the car needed some work though (minus the interior). Perfect for a project like this.

Technically the 745i's engine is a 3.5L, but BMW called the car a 745i as (with the turbo) 4.5L is it's equivalent N/A replacement size.

The first video is of a built M106 in an M5, the second video is of a turbo M3. Thought you guys might enjoy:

Wow what a sleeper.......!!!

[Mr1der]

haha so true

that'll be funny to see videos of...

[MiniMan]

Haha, no kidding Wes! Plus you get to say you're going to college have 2 BMW's and a Q45 :P .

So what if two of the three don't run!

Anywho, sorry for jackin your thread...

Corey

[louiegz]

Wes man, your Regal has more mods than the Q.

[louiegz]

Wes, here's some more interesting info.

[elwesso]

Thanks Lou for the stellar info!!!!!

Im still not going to rule out if I can find a stellar and still under warranty deal on a GS... A 12 second buick with seat heaters, I can dig it!!

Realy? 12sec 1/4 mile? I have to call you on that one. Your saying that a GS Regal is faster than my 330i? Road & Track has my car at 0-60 at 6.1 & 1/4 mile at 14.7 @96.3mph. A Dodge Viper does it in 12.2 @ 119.6mph. You don't think the GS is faster than a Viper, right? If I had to guess how fast the GS is, I'd say 0-60 in 7 and 1/4 mile in 15.5 @ 90mph. That's more realistic. Not many cars do 12sec 1/4 mile.

[1992Q45A]

Wes is a fanboy

His Q45 was a second faster then RSI's who spent more then the value of Wes's Sludged up Q.

So why not a buick that would be his to?

XJR will run 12s boosted out, get real on the GS
