Well this thread has become a real douche fest!


Apparently there is only 4 or 5 guys that know how to build & drive a Turbo Regal.  :rolleyes;
Mike is my hero

That is more pressure than I can handle.

First of all I am Canadian....

French Canadian by any chance?

Why would it matter to this discussion?  What if I was non-White - would that also make a difference to you too?

Mike. just as an aside to the 3 turbo;s you mentioned, they are all the same company now.

So it is a case of vendor bias and price fixing. Nice.


China T66 and a used cheapo Art Carr converter - $1000 all in.  You'll run 9s. I promise.

Have you run 9's ?? You make it sound so easy.

Evidently my sarcasm isn't coming through clearly enough, Dan.  It was a loose Fast and Furious reference.

NO I didn't.. You have to use  :player: :icon_fU: :chin: :cheers: :rofl:

Don't fret because most French Canadians don't read it well either - and that is face to face.

With our girls being in French school I am hoping to transcend that barrier by creating the most sarcastic Anglo-Francos in history.

What is Canada's most well known accomplishment?

As far as snowflakes? Hardly!

This appears to be a ploy to turn this board into toilet paper 6.com complete with pull my finger jokes.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

We've been duped!

Actually... I wasn't... I treated it like garbage.  God, I love having the super-power of female intuition!

Yes. that was back in 2007.. We did get it rebuilt a year or to ago. Had a lot of milege on it.  Yes we locked it. Have one in the Mazda/Buick to. Do lots driving an still cry I need a LU. Melissa's car has a PTC NLU in it now. I will say they have come a long way as far as drivability. Like I said turbos converters and everything else is changing all the time.  :cheers:
