Real Fiero Tech

Cadillac Eldorado "Touring Coupe". This is the 300+ HP N* engine, base models cam with 200ish... Every option possible, Bose sound system, 12 disc changer, cassette, factory security system (gettin a good aftermarket alarm wednesday). Already got th system in it running 0 gauge pushin about 1800W rms... completely flawless car! Gotta love those old people that dont drive in the snow/rain!!










Windows are gettin tinted in a couple weeks and this spring it will be gettin 22"s (may be 20"s)

98?

Looks nice. I like eldorados better than any other cadillac (well, aside from the XLR). Only thing I don't like are the heavy doors. But 2 > 4.

Dude I love it

'99

Damn, that is CLEAN!

I'd say no to the 20s or 22s, that's going to make you look really black. I'd go with a nice set of 18s, maybe black or gunmetal in color.

Naw, gotta put the vogue's and white-walls on there man!

That N* does not look like an 01. It looks like a 99 or older, check your door ane make sure the year.

The 2000+ N* does not have sparkplug wires (that I'm aware of)

Yeah if that's a 2001, someone did an engine swap.

Yep, '99 or older engine.

Did you get served? Old dude who doesn't drive in winter dupe you on model year?

Does it matter? Weren't they all 300hp? Either way, you got a really clean car!

Book on '01 with X miles is higher than book on '99 with X miles.

The Y2K's will make full power on 87 octane, the older engines require 91.

Yeah, regardless of what year it is, it's a super fine ride. One might even call it a pimp wagon.

Sweet!
My grandfather has a '99 just like that, but in white. I drove it a few weeks ago; they actually handle real nice. Stays flatter than a Fiero when it turns.. active suspension with air bags I think?

I think the '99's are too old to have magneto-rheological shocks.

Fieros just suck. At least the early ones. My Formula isn't too bad with Koni dampers and rod end lateral links in the rear.

He told me it does... but whatever it has, body roll is not it!

Very nice ride. Can I offer some advice. I seriously damaged my hearing by listening to my various systems over the years I was in high school. I honestly have to listen to the TV at levels higher than most everyone else wants to watch it at. I loved my systems, but If I could go back, Id ditch them in exchange for better hearing, and Im only fucking 24 year old.

Actually, my Dad just picked up a police package '94 Caprice that's the same way. It has huge sway bars and stays really flat... but it's still a boat.

I think the 99 has the variable-damping magnetic shocks; they're $900 each on rockauto.com and have a connector on 'em.
Even the old Achieva SCX in the early 90's had magnetorheological shocks, so I'd be surprised if the CVRSS Caddy of the late 90's didn't..

Don't you know Cadillacs are for grandmas?

Buicks are for grandmas. :la:

You sure about that?
