newbie first post!

hello to all members of this great site.i know most of the members here are owners of classic olds my car is not a classic,but i think its pretty scarce.its a 1990 delta88royale 2dr with fe3 suspension package.bought the car in feb this year.car needed alot of work but i thought i was wortrh the effort.i used to own a 89lesabret-tpye,which is basiclly the same car except the t-tpye came with bucket seats floorcosole and a full gauge cluster.i was drawn to this car because of the body style.and also the reliablity of the now famous 3800v6 engine.car has currently 122k i drive almost every day.the car definitly needs paint but it rides great!new parts i installed,brakes,struts,tune-up,alt,batt,valvecovers,new a/c compressor,fule pump and regulator.i had a spare interior out of my old t-type which i installed.made a custom center console with armrest and speakers.also changed the headliner.

Welcome to CO. Don't know how I missed you post the other day, sorry. Always wondered how that Fe3 suspension felt, you notice any difference between your Olds and the LeSabre in ride feel? I own a '99 LeSabre as a daily driver and it also has the 3800, not a bad engine, it's not an Olds but not a bad engine...

thanks for the words of encouragement.hey oldsguy i think the ride between my olds and the t-type i used to own are very similar.the only difference i noticed is in the steering,the olds responce is better,were as the t-type was kind of vague but the suspension was tighter on the t.but i think that was because of the kyb struts.

Yeah, KYB struts would be pretty firm I bet.
