Recent shots of the Riv

Black with tan interior. 130,000 miles but very decent mechanical condition. Will take a little reconditioning on the cosmetic side but I always liked doing that kind of thing.

Now for pics. Don't mind the Regal, it's filthy right now :









Did Rivs get a CD changer in the console? I think this has one but I can't get the CD player to work (E20 message).

Geez! Those are some huge pics!


But congrats on the purchase! Looks like a clean enough ride from what i can tell.

Nice riv dude and some huge pics, made it hard to send a reply to your thread lol. I can't wait to start shopping for mine, I just need a job first

AA will not be happy about these pictures lol. I would go to imageshack.us and re host them since they allow you to change the size with each upload.

ummm holy shit.... those pics are like 3 feet by 3 feet...

Not any more!

Took only 10 secs to change the size of those images. For info on how to post pics at appropriate size, see link:

In fact, there are lots of sticky threads in the Board News forum that all new members should take a few minutes to read.

Nice looking Riv, btw.

What year is it? That'll tell whether or not there's a CD changer.

You obviously have a CD Player in your head unit otherwise you wouldn't be getting a code.
Further down the console, in front of the cup holders, those slots are just for storage of CD's. It's not a changer unfortunately.
I don't know what the code's are for the CD player, maybe someone else here knows why the player won't work and what that code means, Sorry.

The E20 means take out CD and randomly wipe off and re-insert, at least thats how i always solve it

Congrats! wut you got planned for this one?

When I bought mine I got the same E20 code. Its an error code. Does the head unit say that a tape or CD is in the Head Unit? Thats what mine said and it would not play any CD. I just replaced it with a JY unit for now.

On a different note, nice car. That Black on Tan color combo goes very well together.

This body style still looks great after 9 years too. I was looking at a new CTS today and it really wasn't any better looking than the Riv. All we need is a way to tighten up the wheel arches around the tires.

Awesome! I would drive either one of them!

Thanks for the compliments! I'm excited. Don't have much planned for this car aside from maybe an intake and just cleaning the heck out of everything so that it looks really nice. There are two small dents in the PS door that I'd like to get popped out.

Sorry for posting such big pics. My hard drive finally crapped out on me shortly after I hosted those pics on imageshack. Saw how big they were and then the PC went poof.... lol. Thanks AA for rehosting!!!!

That sucks....but Riv > computer.

Congrats on the purchase! Looks great.

so is this gonna be the year round dd and the regal gettin retired to a track car/weekend cruiser?

I think so. At least for now. Riv needs a little paintwork before I'll be really happy about its appearance.

The Regal needs both bumpers repainted. For now it'll rest happily under its cover for the remaining winter.

Nice!
You aren't the only one to think at first that those trays above the console were part of a CD changer.
I thought the same thing when I bought mine, and was told by another member he did too at first.
My CD player gives the same code. In fact, it is so finicky about what CD it will play, I am not even going to bother trying to play another CD until I can replace the unit with an aftermarket one.

congrats nice riv!

Does anyone have a list of meanings
for the error codes for the stereo radio
system? My tape is jammed and I've
seen a E13 a lot.......

Made a few subtle changes in its appearance. I'll let you guys find them.

did you black out the grill and chrome trim?
you had the tinted headlights before right?
did you pull of the "supercharged" script too?

Wow the black grill trim looks awesome!

I dig it, esecially the headlights
IMO, you should black out the window chrome too though so its all consistant
