Re: My 97 Lesabre Project

Nice I can definitely use that info. Gotta do the coolant elbows now, the o ring one the intake manifold side has gone bad and is shooting out like old faithful. They where replaced but with the OEM plastic ones. I'm going to get the dorman metal ones and OEM rings. Went to the junkyard and found a ...

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project

Aired out I am 21.9 inches ground to fender for the front, and 22.3 ground to fender on the rear this is with a 205/70r15 tire mind you. I'm hoping with the ...

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project

I'm trying to go for a 9.5-10 wide at the very least on the rear. I need to dig out my wheel fitment tool also, I need to find either a replacement for the vacuum lines or custom make some I was looking into my high idle issue. I have found the lines have become very brittle and have started to leak.

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project

So a few updates, the company that made the custom bags has gone out of business. :sad:

I have done more work to the Buick, I have retucked the wiring, changed out the top mounts and have adjusted the rear brackets and readjusted the exhaust to sit a bit higher and I am about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch ...

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project

SO this past weekend I 90% completed the suspension. :beerchug: I still need to do some wire tucking and sorting but the system is fully functional and working. I need to get different wheels and tires to go lower and modify the exhaust to not hit the ground when laying out. She looks so good. For ...

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project

Update: I have ordered my Management system along with a tank and compressor. I am looking for some custom rear shocks and may look into 2004 rear Impreza coil overs and just remove the springs. Still undecided about wheel selection. Car is put away for the winter and I probably wont make any ...

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project
