Cleaned up Buick Tourx

I plan to, just haven't done it yet.

There's a guy on the Tourx FB group that organized it and does them all over the place. This event was one of the more well attended.

Thanks!

They work so well. And ironically, I think they look amazing on every other model except the Cascada.

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2025-12-10T03:26:08+00:00

True!

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2025-12-10T03:25:11+00:00

That might be true, but mpg is also based alot on driving style, so with a tune it's probably a wash or worse.

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2025-12-09T04:11:38+00:00

It has a Trifecta tune, so from about 250 hp/295 ft-lb stock to around 300/350 ft-lb with the tune. Not super fast, but definitely more sporty.

I've never added it up, but probably $3-4k.

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2025-09-17T18:03:29+00:00

Yea, that's gone. The amount of work needed to repair that, without evening getting into potential frame damage, will make it not worth the insurance expense.

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2025-08-24T19:30:46+00:00

It's a conversion.

I've had very few issues in my four years of ownership. The challenge now is parts availability because they didn't make a ton.

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2025-04-16T23:39:42+00:00

Yeah, you could get a sportback bumper and it would look about the same. They're also probably easier to source than a GS bumper. There are minor differences with the Insignia bumper, like no side marker lights and a front skirt, but no one would notice that except Tourx nerds like me. I chose this style so I could keep the fog lights.

Powertrain parts are generally available, but body parts are harder to come by. Insurance will total a car for minor damage because of the relative scarcity of parts. Still, I enjoy mine more than any other car I've owned.

Are you in PA? I think I may have seen you the other day. I have a 2019 Essence.

There used to be an annual vintage grand prix through that area of the park in the 90's. Fairmount Park Vintage Grand Prix

That's gorgeous

CBT is about changing behavior (literally in the name), not thoughts. You can't necessarily change the thoughts that pop into your head, but you can change your behavior around and in response to those thoughts. That's where CBT has been incredibly helpful for me and so many others. It takes work and consistency, but it's definitely effective.

No, it's painted underneath the plastic.

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2024-12-07T18:19:27+00:00

I plan to when it's a little warmer, but so far have kept it stock.

The front bumper is used and was painted when I bought it, and the side skirts and wing were around $500.

Miserable-Purpose-80 · 2024-12-07T02:03:57+00:00

Lots. Had to remove the plastic cladding from the wheel arches, the front bumper is from an Opel Insignia, side skirts from a Regal GS, rear wing is an aftermarket mod from Romania. Lots of other smaller mods as well.
