You are correct, I just called Tirerack and it is 5x100. Oh well, back to plan #1.
-
Question: Was the 1991 Buick Skylark front wheel drive? Tirerack has a wider selection of wheels for the model.
-
The wheel I ordered from tirerack has a 40mm offset, I should be fine. I was worried there for a second with those wider tires(225x60/16). I had dreams of those young cats with the tires sticking out a foot or more from the fender.
-
I just ordered one 225x60 tire(dB) with a 16x7.5 wheel from Tirerack. If it fits I will order the other three. My original wheels were chromed, I guess they go in the closet.
-
I see I called you Barry sorry!
-
Barney I hope I spelled your name correctly last night; tirerack has a lot of nice GM (front-drive) wheels, but limited for the Reatta. What year does the interchange end or is it any 5x115 bolt pattern?<BR>thanks in advance

The thing that holds down the resale price are: miles and body condition. Your seems like a low mileage car. I recently puchased a 89 from a friend he needed a van due to a new family member. He started at $3000 for a blue coupe with 112K, original paint. I saw a red/tan '91 in the Autotrader with lower mileage for $2600. He said red was not the best looking color, then I discovered '91 had a different steering wheel/dash. I liked the 88/89 look; he lowered the price for a quick sale to $2300. But, the driver window motor and both headlight motors needed replacing $500. I still need to sink a couple thousand more into her. My engine runs strong however.<BR>The used car market is slow since the dealers announced zero new car financing; people are not stupid.<BR>If you can I would keep it, in another 2 or 3 years it will probably bring $10,000.<BR>That's not a bad investment.<BR>Maybe you have a new family member.

Thanks I will give it a shot in the a.m. I have been lucky since it has not rained much over the pass two months, but all of that is changing now.
-
Okay, Barry same question to you.
-
Thanks, Trofeo my manual has not arrived yet;where do I start snaking the wire from?How do I gain access, I looked at the sunroof with the top open and didn't see any drainage holes or place to run a wire.
-
Fastguy was that clunking problem solved?<BR>I hear a similar problem coming from my passenger rear, near the wheel well. Mainly at highway speeds and when I put on the brakes.
-
Great my sunroof leaks after a rain, soon as I drive off water pours at the ashtray from above. Only for a couple of seconds.<BR>Not good!!
-
I've only had my 89' coupe for a month, my only set of wheels; my Lexus SC400 coupe was coming off lease so said it was time for a change. The Reatta feels more like a real car that the Lexus; but I don't like a car making all kind of strange noises and water pouring down from the sunroof trim; so I still have some work to do here. <BR>The SC400 was the only car I ever owned and I have owned many that didn't have not one mechanial problem in three years of ownership. However, I was never happy with the way the engine sounded, even after Borla exhaust or the handling until I had it lowered. I did love the Nakamichi sound system.<BR>I feel lucky to have owned a Porsche while I lived in Germany, the land of the autobahn.<BR>More support is what we need!
-
Thanks for the speedy reply!<BR>I hope I don't have as much trouble finding the source as you did.
-
The AC/Delco site lists two spark wire sets for a 1989 one with a Magnavox ignition module and one with a Delco module. <BR>How do I tell which one I need?
-
Your numbers look good, but the tool <stole it> posted comes up with different figures.
-
Thanks, but that was not the homepage, I found it.<BR>What type of struts do you have on your auto.<BR>I don't know whether to go with the Monroe or the Road Response silver which come in two different types for the front, plus the Reactek for the front. Do I need the mounting kits too??
-
Padgett good choice in tire I just read the reviews at Tirerack. I will probably go with Yokohama DB's which are cheaper than your.
-
2seater recheck your numbers.

Will the radio handle 2 ohm speakers all around??

I think will start with a nice port and polish head job, here in Atlanta $750 walk-in. I don't want to change the compression or cam. I enjoy being able to purchase regular.<BR>I like my engine it starts first turn of the key. 113K miles, the transmission makes funny sounds occasionally.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.newcovenant.com/firebird/howthingswork.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.newcovenant.com/firebird/howthingswork.htm</A>

I had a long wait in a office lounge today,and the November auto mag on the table was a buyers guide and a pretty good one at that.......all the new Buicks sedans had 3800 V-6s and they all had a minimum 200 horses, and some had a lot more. <BR>HELLO...where are the Reatta engine upgrade parts at. <BR>200 sounds like the magic number to me.<BR>The love for a car starts and ends with the engine.<BR>Is swapping out motors the answer?

The website <A HREF="http://www.rockauto.com" TARGET=_blank>www.rockauto.com</A> has a excellent layout for Reatta parts, especially for beginners.<BR>Under suspension where is a host of struts available. Does someone known the difference in the types? Sorry if a typo I couldn't cut and paste.<BR>1.Monroe Frt Sensa Trac 58.26<BR>2.Monroe Rear Sensa Trac 68.99<BR>3.AC Delco Frt Road Response Sil 54.69<BR>4.AC Delco Rear Road Response 54.69<BR>5.Monroe Rear Limited 71965 66.59<BR>6.Monroe Frt Monro-Matic Plus 46.89<BR>7.AC Delco Frt Reactek Gas-Cush 76.62<BR>8.AC Delco Frt Road Response 352 54.69<BR> <A HREF="http://www.rockauto.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.rockauto.com/</A>
