Is the Riv subframe the same as one from a GP or Regal?

I'm guessing it's not. Just noticed that the PS part of it is bashed in pretty good. Not sure why I didn't notice this sooner.... Oh well. In any case, it needs to be replaced. Do I need a Riv one or can I just go with one from a w-body?

I don't think they're the same. I seem to remember a GP cradle only having 4 cradle bolts instead of 6. Don't you have that Regal still? Get under it and have a look!

Duh... I'm an idiot. lol Scott

DOH!

I should have just said that the Regal was gone or something... lol

i would imagine that they would be mostly similar, especially on the inside because they all hold the same engine. the places youre going to want to look/measure is where it bolts to the rest of the frame.

No Shit Sherlock.

Do you realize that you just posted for the sake of posting, or do you honestly think that Rick is so stupid about what to look for on the undercarriage.?

Jeeeesh

Cut him some slack. He did forget that had a Regal sitting in his driveway.

No. He's talking about Tyler, not Rick with the Regal.

havin one of those days rick?
and by the way, it seems to me that YOU just posted for the sake of posting, at least my post was thread related and i wasnt being an asshole.

Here we go again. Sigh...

Well, to be fair, what are the odds that the G-body subframe is going to fit another body?
We can't even count on the door-handles or control-arms to interchange among 4 years of Rivi's that look identical...

Yes, I realize this. I can see Rick's Regal in his signature line. ('him' = Tyler, and 'he' = Rick)

I would have to agree with Eldo. Just check out the transmission interchange thread for example. Not much from other cars/platforms fits ours.

Absolutely amazing. How many people ask for your autograph on a daily basis. Must be overwhelming, Oh not for you, your ego demands that kind of attention.
Good By. Won't be seeing you any more. FAIL.
Congrat's only you and Shintzu have made it to this level.

wtf did i ever do or say to make anyone think i know everything? if i have input that i think may help i post it, if the OP has a problem with what i say i think theyre old enough to tell me im a dumbass. but it seems to be you that is always starting shit with me trying to defend the OP that doesnt even have a problem with what i said themselves.
what kind of drugs do you take?

and to rick (OP), not rDickw, i apologize if my post was "pointless" and i also apologize for rick PMSing all over your thread.

Well Tyler, you have to remember: you have original sin... You're not driving a Riviera.

Just look at the that Ilan has gotten by defecting (defecating?) from his Rivi to a Honda...

97 Park Ave is Tyler's car?

Figured some guys were giving him a rough time because he was rich.

lol, but at least its still a buick, and im NOT selling it. if i were selling it, it wouldnt be for a honda or anything like that. it would most likely be a buick and if not a regal it would be a riv, so im not sure what ricks deal is with the park ave.
