1991 Cutlass Supreme sedan



most of you know all about this car.  a quick rundown:

$1750 FIRM.  this car is FAR from stock of course but is very dependable IMO despite the high miles.  current mods:

- Turbocharged 'LH0' engine using TGP parts in summer of 2005.  new Melling HV oil pump and timing chain set installed along with new gaskets and seals everywhere.  runs GREAT!  i've used Mobil-1 10w30 ONLY.

- Getrag 282 5-speed swap done back in 2002, shifts smoothly, no funny noises etc.  clutch replaced (LUK) in 2005 when i turbocharged the engine.  GM Syncromesh fluid always stays clean.  transmission does leak a litle bit, which is a typical problem for the Getrag 282s.  it's leaking from between where the bellhousing bolts to the transmission itself.  the case isn't cracked or anything.

- custom KAZ MotorSports dyno tuned chip using WB02

- rebuilt turbo crossover pipe with SS flex bellows by M&S Productions

- K&N cone filter directly on compressor inlet

- M&M Racing manual boost controller

- TurboXS RFL BOV on lower pipe

- ATPTurbo SS T-bolt clamps for all intercooler pipe connections including the air filter

- ATPTurbo silicone oil drain hose

- A-pillar pod with Autometer Phantom series mechanical boost gauge and narrowband A/F gauge

- deleted EGR and installed a Turbos Unleashed vacuum distribution block in its place

- test pipe in place of cat

- now has fake dual outlet exhaust from my old Turbo STE

- deleted all underhood AC (to make room for FMIC which i never got to)

- Magnecor KV85 spark plug wires


i will include with the car (not installed):

- 34mm front sway bar from a Z34

- 22mm rear Addco bar with all installation parts/hardware

- extra shifter and set of shifter cables

- set of '94 3100 1.6 rockers

- an extra TGP intercooler and TGP intercooler fan

- GM W-body front strut installation tool

- a good running TGP 'LG5' engine (so long as you pick it up!).  this engine does not have any turbo specific parts left on it besides the oil-to-water cooler and the oil pan.  it came out of my old Turbo STE and ran great when i pulled it out.  i've been keeping it in the corner of my gararge just in case something happened to the current engine i could simply unbolt the turbo parts from it then bolt them onto the LG5 & drop it back in the car and go.

new parts since last summer:

- turbo has been replaced (used stocker but in great shape, NO shaft play, NO smoke etc)

- new K&N air filter (RU-1770)

- new 245/50 Kumho ECSTA 711 tires installed last month (maybe 300 miles on them)

- new KYB GR-2 struts all around

- new KYB strut mounts all around

- '96 11.25" front brake upgraded with new rotors and Raybestos PG Plus semi-metallic pads

- '94+ upgraded rear brakes a few years ago BUT the rotors (11") were just replaced along with new Raybestos PG Plus semi-metallic pads

- new AFCO Racing rear coilover sleeves and adjuster nuts

- new GM balljoints (greaseable)

- not new, but it now has dual outlet exhaust from my old Turbo STE

- KAZ MotorSports dyno tuned EEPROM

took these pics a few days ago:

*note: i have never once waxed or claybarred the paint since i've owned it and i'm sure that would make the car look MUCH better.

i just bought a new Walbro 255 HP fuel pump today and it will be going in when it gets here along with a new fuel filter of course.  i have an extra set of 'BYP' side skirting to replace the warped/ripped 'BYP' side skirting that is on the car right now.  i'll be replacing that when i do the fuel pump.  i'll also get pics of the underside of the car while i'm at it showing that it is bone dry/clean.

this car has NO rust, no hail damage, and TONS of new parts since summer 2006.  it's 5 times more fun to drive than the Regal GS but half the price :)

problems:

- HIGH miles (around 240,000-250,000) but i've owned this car since April of 2000 with 111,xxx miles and have always taken very good care of it.

- windshield has an 18" long crack way over on the left side.  it's not in my view so i never bothered to replace it.

- gas gauge is inaccurate.  it will stay on 'full' forever and then run out of gas when the gauge reads 1/4 of a tank.  i will try to address this problem when i replace the fuel pump.

- rear driver's side window only rolls up 98% of the way.  i haven't noticed much wind noise, and the only time water gets in is when i'm at the car wash.  the window was smashed out a few years ago and i suspect a chunk of broken glass is stuck in the regulator or something.  i also lost the door handle trim but that's easy to find at a salvage yard for $5 (see pics).

- has HUD but dashpad is warped badly

- carpet is worn/dirty in front

- has a small dent on front fender, the paint pretty much sucks on the front bumper and has a small rip in it, some paint flaking off on the rear driver's side door, two small door dings on passenger side rear door and a paint chip about the size of a half dollar, some fading on the rear bumper etc.  all of this can be seen in the pics.

- i installed new KYB jounce bumper/boots but unfortunately they are not compatible with the amount of drop the Intrax springs provide.  the front of the car literally sits on the jounce bumpers right now, resulting in a bouncy ride in town (not noticeable on the highway).  they are also preventing the front of the car from sitting as low as it should.  some cheap Monroe jounce bumpers and boots will fix the problem, and can be installed easily through the top with the GM W-body strut tool that will be included for this purpose.

- sets code 32 when driving on the highway.  this is because i delteted EGR and forgot to have Kenny turn off the EGR function in the chip when i had the car tuned.  it's not hurting anything at all, but the SES light is kind of annoying.  it never comes on during city driving; only when i'm driving on the highway for over 10 miles or so.

any questions just ask.  i'm willing to deliver either car within 700 miles so long as the buyer pays my gas on the way out and a bus ticket home.  if i deliver the Cutlass i obviously can't bring the extra 'LG5' with so if you want that you'll need to come and pick it up.

any questions don't hesitate to ask.

thanks

hell i'd be willing to deliver to the east or west coast if necessary, so long as the buyer pays gas and bus ticket home of course.

i pulled the gas tank out of the Cutlass yesterday and no rust anywhere. i'm going to pressure wash the underside of the car while the tank is out and then take pics but unfortunately i probably can't get to that until Sunday. the temps here aren't going to get above freezing until then :icon_confused: hopefully the Walbro pump shows up tomarrow so i can get the tank ready beforehand. i'll be painting it with POR-15 (black) and replacing all fuel line O-rings and rubber hoses.

i found a Bonneville in Denver i am very interested in.  anyone that can send me a cashier's check for $1750 this week gets the Turbo 5-speed Cutlass.  i can help with delivery depending on the location etc.

the only reason i'm knocking $500 off the price is because i really want this car.  this Bonneville isn't going to be available long since it's being advertised locally for a good price, so if you're interested in my Turbo Cutty now is your chance!   seriously interested persons ONLY.  this is pretty much a one week deal and after that i think i'm going to have to face the fact that i'm stuck with the car unless i give it away :icon_neutral:  however i won't go below $1750 because i have soooo much more invested in it than that.  besides, i really love the car.  i just want something new/different....

anyone?  ~ 255whp & 360wtq for $1750...all in a decent looking car with tons of new parts/upgrades and no rust or hail damage :)

sale pending...

I hope for you Josh that it was not one of the FIVE people who told me they were interested in mine who fell through or just stopped correspondence with me! :icon_rolleyes: And people wonder why I do not get heavily involved with making performance parts for the LG5. 90% of the people who jump up and down that they want what you are offering are no where to be found when the product is ready! :icon_evil:

i really don't think it is, but i'll PM you and ask anyway.  so far i'm awaiting deposit ("should be within the next day or so") and then we are meeting up in Denver to finalize the deal on February 9th or 10th.

good luck with the sale, allthough it will be sad to see it go

yes it will, but after owning/modifying the same car for 7 years it's just time for something new.  i'm actually planning on turning around and buying another car the same day i sell the Turbo Cutlass - another "project car" if you will :)  it's meant to replace the Turbo Cutlass.  meanwhile the Regal GS is likely going to be staying with me as my daily driver.  i've gotten zero interest and besides i really like it and it serves its purpose very well so i might as well keep it.

great, now the "buyer" says it's going to be 3-4 more days before the deposit can be sent via paypal  :icon_confused:  :icon_rolleyes:

anyone with $1750 - the car is still available.  however, if the '94 Bonneville SSE i'm looking at sells in the meantime i'm not going to go lower that $2000 otherwise i'll just keep the car.  so if you want a ~ 255whp/360wtq Intercooled Turbo 3.1/Getrag 282 5-speed car that runs GREAT, has NO rust, NO hail damage, TONS of NEW parts and suspension/brake upgrades, NEW tires, etc NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!

i can deliver so long as buyer pays gas money and my way home.  the new Walbro 255 HP arrived today and will be installed on Monday (wayy too cold to do it until then).  i already have the fuel tank out so the job is already half done.  it should only take me an hour or two to have it all back in and running.

Where are you at? I didnt see it in any of the posts...

oh sorry, i thought i had my location posted in my profile.  i'm in Gillette, WY.  up in the NW corner of the state on I-90.

I know this is going to sound like a repeat, but I am interested, unfortunetly, I couldnt buy it. Missouri law stipulates that a motor can be replaced by only a newer motor, and only if the same motor was available for that year. So I couldnt even pass the clean air program here. But damn thats tempting for when I move to colorado in 08. But where to put it until then....
