Previously listed this car last fall and the buyer back-out at the last minute. This car is in excellent condition, with only minor wear on interior and exterior as displayed in the pictures. I have performed a few engine and transmission mods., such as larger turbo, front-mount intercooler, 42lb. injectors, 3" stainless exhaust from turbo, back (single-shot). chrome pipes and covers under hood, and cold-air induction. This car has never been driven in the winter and much of its life spent in the garage being stored. It just received its every-spring service with full synthetic oil and is ready to go! The modifications that have been performed are more for show than for strip. I have NEVER raced this car during my 12 years of ownership. If racing is what you want, all the provisions are here to gain 450+ HP with a simple "tune". Multi-stage ECM Prom is installed that allows for a varying change in fuel/ignition/boost management. Original transmission was overhauled less than 3 years ago/300 miles, and a Coan 3200 stall converter (non lock-up) was installed. TE-63 turbo under hood that would allow for 20+ psi. of boost. Currently boosting to 16, additional frame to body mounts were installed as well as body bracing. The engine runs very strong and transmission shifts firm and crisp.
The body is near flawless with only minor scuffs and a few small "parking lot" dents. No body surface rust except for minor rust under drivers carpet/floor pan (see pics). T-tops and all glass are in excellent condition. Minor interior wear to drivers seat and door panel. Sun visors have been removed due to the steel parts being cracked, causing the visors to be loose and not staying in place (Included). Original wheels are in storage and are included with the sale, as well as any misc. original parts. The only know defects are fuel gauge that shows about 1/4 tank less that what it actually has, and clear-coat that was painted on the bumper guards (rear) that is peeling off, and a small dent on the drivers side roof that looks like a hail stone dent (caused by a tree branch that fell). The car was painted just before I purchased it from the dealership that took it in on trade from the original owner, for a new Jaguar. The windows were tinted during my ownership and look real nice.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
