The email was received with shivers. I know I ain't been around...but this community means a lot to me. I remember the good ole days, the homegrown banter, it was fun! Most of us talked trash, entertaining to some and unneedlessly serious to others. Back in the day these boards were poppin' because of all of us. We were fans and we had fans, always something interesting enough to make people log in day after day. Now I just log in every couple/few years to say I'll never forget yall. Not because of the banter but because of the love and support the community showed me. To this day it's the most cherished time of my life. I've met people that whatever our differences I'd give them the shirt off my back till the day I die, no grudges in that department.

At one point this community spanned MySpace, t6p, ihadav8, turbobuick, turbobuicks and other sites.

Everyone moves on but how could we ever forget. I'm kinda sad right now. I want to thank everyone. Luv yall and good night!

Special shout out to Mark! Thanks man!

I have archived it, and scraped the site again today.

Save this link, you can also download the board as well.
http://archive.today/SzqKy

Sorry to hear it and thank you for keeping it up so long.

There are a few posts on here that were really helpful when I was rebuilding my front end, and doing other projects on the car.  Is there any way to archive the board's contents?  I'm sure other people could benefit too.  If there isn't an easy way to archive it, maybe we could manually copy a few threads to the other board?

Appreciate everything that you and the other folks here have done!

My advice is to screenshot the pages you want and save on your PC or phone. Once the board is shutdown the links you save will come up as a error. Another option is try a free program called  http://web.archive.org/     It's hit and miss but covers the history of any website.

General Buick Tech / Aftermarket oil cooler hoses and ends

« Last post by kjhansen on February 17 2025, 04:56:52 PM »

My ’87 TR has an aftermarket B&M oil cooler. The hose ends that attach to the oil filter adapter don’t match the stock hose ends and they leak. I can’t replace the hoses with stock hoses, as the aftermarket unit mounts in front of the radiator so the stock hoses are too short. Is there anywhere I can get the correct hose ends? Or long enough hoses that have the correct hose ends on them?
p.s. B&M apparently doesn’t make this kit anymore.

Hello heathens.

Due to an increase in hosting costs, I will be shutting down this message board no later than 02/25/2025.
Even though I sold my TR over 4 years ago, I liked having a little corner of the web for folks like us, and you.
It was fine when it cost me $5/mo, but the recent increase to $21/mo isn't feasible for me.
I created a FB group last year expecting this, and all are welcome to join if they care to. At this point, Steve and I will be admins - Jeremy if he chooses to.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/460792206682271
I've never made  FB group, and probably fucked it up, feel free to tell me so.

Wither way, it's been a decade+ long ride, it's time to sunset the site. I will retain the URL, but the board will be gone.

THanks!
Mark
