Same thing goes for mods. If you have any writeups of how to perform mods (anything from building a CAI to dropping in a new engine) or instructions for common repairs (like installing new brake pads), add them to the thread. The more, the better!

As for specs, the 1992-1994 SE/SSE put out 170 HP @ 4800 rpm & 225 lb-ft @ 3200 rpm.

Obscure Bonneville-related facts are good too!

99BonnevilleSE: I have kappa 3 way 6x9s and a set of kappa 5.25 components in the doors


as for the ground effects kit, its pretty much a sse/ssei body kit that the SE'* don't get.

I have the component speakers setup in my car. it came from the factory 5.25 w/ a 3/4 inch tweeter. In 2 or 3 months ill be changing the front out for some 6 inch w/ 1 inch tweeters. Not sure what brand yet i was going to get jl'* but i cant find them cheap anymore. you do have to get adapters to make it go from 5.25 to 6 in

Yes, my car also came with stock front components. 99BonnevilleSE you might be able to get some door panels of a similar bonne and have factory space for components.

I love my kappas and plan on sticking with them. One thing I am going to do is get 2 sets of Kappa Perfect 6.5" components, mount them in the front and rear. I love my 6x9'* for bass, but the rear mounted, forward facing stock tweeters sounded awesome.

Currently, I am in the process of getting the garage rash removed from my bumpers. White scuff marks just don't look nice on red cars.

The body shop I use is also known across the state of Michigan for their fiberglass abilities. I'm thinking of some custom ground effects. I really want to replace the side moulding with something that has less moulding. If you look at the photoshop rendering of what I want my car to look like in my sig, you'll see what I mean. I also want some fender flares to accompany my wider rims when I get them. We'll see, its all up in the air right now.

I've had mine up to 115mph before I shutdown.

sounds like an engine swap to me, no boost gauge is dangerous. Was the engine the L67 like the GP'* have or the older SC v6 like the bonnevilles have? If it was a L67, they had better have the 4t65e transmission in there, otherwise, the normal bonneville tranny 4t60e would blow up very quickly.

It'* a 4T60E HD unit, and yes, SE'* could be had with supercharged engines, stock.

Skza,

I know it doesn't make any sense, but GM did offer the supercharged powertrain in certain model year SEs. Sometimes the package was known as the SLE, IIRC. Here'* one.

And the 4T60E-HD is just a beefed-up version of the 4T60E (for the supercharged 3800), like the 4T65E-HD is a beefed-up version of the normal 4T65E.
