15 Reattas altogether, which really turned some heads. My car was the only ‘88 and got a lot of attention as I had left the windows down so people could poke their heads in to marvel at the touchscreen setup.

Reatta Reunion Charlotte Autofair 2022

Looks like there was a really good turn out.

I happened to see that one in the files when I was adding the attachment. The guy that built that car is Lawrence Conley and it is called "Tweaked". He was big in the Buick Turbo V6 world for many years. He eventually went to the dark side with Chebby's 🤨 The car ran in the 7's at 175+. Let's just say it is a Buick V6, a Stage 2, 274 cu in, the engine that ran in Nascar once upon a time. It ran one very large turbocharger on alcohol.

Talked with Ryan about the best way to delete EGR and he confirmed to simply turn all the activation percentages down to zero and remove the warning flags so no check engine light. I think my initial chip is ready to burn but haven’t done so yet. Fingers crossed 🤞that transferring the information to my old notebook will go smoothly. All the old cables and connections for the chip burning is made for serial style ports on my old notebook but I am using a newer version of TunerPro on a much newer laptop which is capable of running the engine directly by connecting to the chip slot. USB stick to transfer data. Borrowed a homemade pressure rig from a friend to try pre lubing the engine. Applied about 35psi and pumped the oil in through the oil pressure sender port. Not visible is the oil filter on the back side of the pressure tank. Ironically the filter is the same one as used on our cars. Hand cranked the engine over while watching for oil flow to the rocker arms, which finally was visible after the first two quarts were loaded. Still kind of a messy operation but I am happy I opted to do it.

You have a better governor than we have in TN. He gets 9.50 here. Got to make up for no income tax someway. 🙂
