INTRO Seeking refuge from Facebook

[ASlowV6]

Eventually I’ll start a build thread on the Malibu. At this point there aren’t many bolts that have gone unturned.

Until recently I also had a ‘98 Volvo V70 which was an absolutely excellent car, but my wife now DDs a CRV, so the Volvo didn’t see much action over the last few months.

Welcome! Build thread on the Bu, please!

And the Roady...

Mattstrike would love the 'Bu. Although I see he hasn't been on since December '22.

So R Ryebread or bs009 tell him to get his butt in on this.

 

[Ryebread]

That's an interesting collection, but that wagon though, shewww buddy

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Yes ! Welcome to the garage.
More of the Malibu please

 

[bs009]

Welcome!

Now TCG has 2 3800 powered G-body's running Terminator X's
I'm sure I've seen your twincharged Malibu on Fbook, but never really saw a lot of the details on it, definitely will be interested in seeing more!

 

[ASlowV6]

bs009 are you the other? I thought there was some dude with either a GP or Regal as well.

Yup! That's me! My G-body Grand Prix's build thread is in the link in my signature

I'm gonna go out in a limb and say that most of the cool 3800s are here on tcg. There's a few that aren't, but I would guarantee they've at least been here at some point looking for ideas.

 

[ASlowV6]

bs009 that’s awesome! I remember running across that car before. I’m sure it has to be a blast with the T56. I was going to put an AR5 in mine, but couldn’t seem to find a clutch that had any proof of holding up while handling the amount of torque I’m able to make, so I just went with the 4l80e.

 

[Mattstrike]

Since my last L67 swap, I've been spending a lot of time just driving them lol

 

[v6buicks]

He lives!

 

[Mattstrike]

I'm actually gearing up for some shennanigans with my Olds Trofeo next:

I have a series 1 L67 and 4T60HD for it. Nothing special by 3800 standards, but it's the way this car should have come from GM.

 

[v6buicks]

Hey come back

 

[sktchy]

I agree. Although from FB looks like he's been living life with the wife and maybe not been messing with this piece of art so much lately.

 

[v6buicks]

but TCG IS life

 

[sktchy]

but TCG IS life

Idk if I'd go that far but most of you guys are pretty cool

 

[ASlowV6]

I figured I’d start a proper thread when I have anything new to report! I’ve been chipping away at little stuff here and there when I have time. Unfortunately time is hard to come by this time of year. On the plus side, I did find time this weekend to go blast a few Bambis.

 

[GTPpower]

Nice. I came home empty-handed this year.
