Hello to everyone here and especially those turbo buick owners in the chicago area.
Finally got around to buying my dream car after a long 18 year wait. It is a silver turbo t limited with 15K orginal miles. It 1987 for me all over again!
Imagine my dismay when I drive out to Melrose Park to have Pete Barton of ANS Performance work on my car and he tells me that he has closed up shop and will not be working on any more turbo buicks. Timing is everything I guess!
The car needs its first tune up. The only thing has ever been changed on it are the plug wires. Also the car failed the Illinois smog and emissions test.......... X@!X@X!
Does anyone have or know of a suitable replacement for ANS performance in the chicago area? Any contact info would be greatly appreciatted
Hell I even drive a little bit out of state to find someone who I can trust with my car and who knows what they are doing.
Does anyone have any experience (positive or negative) with Gary Oswald of Street Perfromance in Elk Grove or Richard Slawinski of Precision Engine and Machine in Sleepy Hollow?
Also looking to upgrade the brake system to a high performance one so any mechanics that could do that as well would be appreciatted. Man..... why did they make the brakes so ****ty on these cars?
People can send me a private message if they wish or respond via this public board.
Looking forward to meeting some of you guys at several car shows and events when the weather gets a little warmer in the Windy City!
Thanks!
Dan
