looks like its in good condition

Nice car. Any pictures of the interior?

Keep the old ones alive!

Welcome to the forums! 184,000 km is about 80,000 miles, so for a 21 year old car that's great! We can definitely help you here. Are you in France France, or Canada France?

Put some up! it looks clean...

bienvenue.
he's from Quebec. You can tell by 1) the architecture and 2) the license plate on the Grand Am

Welcome! Looks good. I used to know a fun trick you can play with the touch screen... (we used to have an '86)

I think you press 'heater' and 'off' from the main screen (it's been about 10 years since we had this car, the memory is a little fuzzy), and it takes you into vehicle service mode. From there you can see the raw output of every sensor the computer reads!

Welcome, Ti_Max
Your Riv looks very clean. I had a '90' (similar body) and always loved the comfy ride and great handling. It doesn't have the zip of the supercharged 3800, but it's still a Riviera and a very classy sport model

Ca fairait bien. Sounds more practical than having extra dials all over the place.

Nice! I love the interior for that gen riviera!

Welcome to the Forum
Nice looking '87

I have a question . Do you know how to reduce the gaz consuption because my car run around 20 or 21L / 100km ( around 10.9 MPG ) . I have see a couple of performance patch like that http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/Surge_Engineering/Performance_Parts/Performance_Chips/Surge_Performance_Chip/17558 . Is write save 1-4mpg....it's real or it's just an illusion ?? . I can save gaz with another stuff ? Thank's for your time.

IMO i dont think it would work but thats just me

Best ways to save gas =
1) engine in proper operating order (many times an old O2 sensor can be costing you gas). Tune-up, proper oil weight, etc
2) tires properly inflated and aligned
3) be easy on the gas pedal. It's a big V6 and will suck it down if you have a heavy foot.

We had an '86 Riv and usually got around 22-24mpg on the highway, 15-18mpg city.

i'd just do a good tune up...new o2 sensor , plugs , wires , fuel filter. air filter...it should improve a good deal and it can't hurt to do it all anyway. if i

and how come his comes with the cruise on the wheel and the late models dont? lame...

thanks for the information
