Sweet Berreta, man. You don't see many left on the road that look that good even if it is pink. J/K Great score on the hood, I didn't think they made much for the Berreta's.

I thought about doing my exhaust the same way on my Z24. It turned out pretty dang sweet.

how often are you planning on driving this thing? every day in nice weather, or just more of a weekend car? just wondering.

lucky. i can only imagine how it must feel to have a minty clean, rust free, newly painted car. and a beast, at that. congrats on everything, it looks and sounds great.

p.s. get a new washer fluid cap!

double edit - don't you have a strut tower bar...?

[3400-95-Modified]

This is a nice weather/weekend and show and drag racing car only, it wont be driven too much... I have a 95 beretta I daily drive and I will soon be replacing that with something else.

yes I know I need washer fluid cap, and yes strut bar was off to do the wiring upgrade for the meantime.

ah, ok. just wondered. i didn't think you could fit that alt cooling duct on there with a strut bar? i have one of them but it just look slike it won't fit.... hmm. in for pics with the bar on

Did quite a few updates to my Garage Entry... Gives all of you a better idea as to how much work is in the car as a whole.

I'm glad I looked at this thread, it reminded me I need to do the big 3 on my GT before I fire it up next week.

[3400-95-Modified]

Yeah I wasn't planning on doing the big 3 but when I blew the fusible link at the drag way last year I had just put in a quick 12gauge wire to fix it for the day, and it was in there till now... I haven't driven it much but I guess the few times where I did it was enough to make the wire hot enough to melt the insulation in some spots... So I not only needed to replace that, but I needed to correctly fix the charging issue. I already had all the wire so it was a cheap fix. I now also have a connector on the battery post that I can easly add another large gague wire to if I wish to bring a main 12+ block inside the interior.

Man you really do have a sweet looking ride there good work

Well, things are going pretty good lately...

Nitrous 100% installed, but my nuts still need to grow a little before I test it... LOL, I mean come on, I took a 15.3 stock 3400 and put it in 13.818 realm... Now I have a car thats doing 13.9 now AND has a cam setup for nitrous... Jesus I'm gonna need a LONG dead straight to test this on and a fresh pair of undies for after.

A few pics of the install.










I may change out the 100 shot jets for a set of 75's for the first run...

Ben, the spacer with the nitrous fitting,(awesome option BTW) BUT that should be threaded like 1 or 2 more turns at the least... I had to go back and forth and get that sucker in there... When it first bottomed out, or got tight enough to work, it was about 1 1/2 turns shy of the fuel tube being flush with the inside bore, I didn't want to restrict any flow.

Grab a fogger nozzle if you can and do a test fit if you have that at your disposal so you can see what I mean.

Currently the purge is setup to do an X across the windshield from the corners of the cowl... it will look neat.

The other projects I have on deck right now are my brake upgrades... You J-body guys will appreciate this.

I'm doing the N-body F-body front setup, N-body knuckles, bearings, ball joints and outer CV's and F-body baskets, calipers, pads, and rotors...

And for the rear the Neon sport rear disc setup... Currently trying to source someone to machine my brackets... Anyone?? I'm not registered on J-body org but if someone is and they know of someone doing the brackets still PLEASE let me know. I have everything but those to complete it.

Parts pile. Add to that, two new Timken Bearings, two new Ball joints. Front calipers in the mail, hopefully, and then I just need to order rotors and pads... Any suggestions on brand?


A few pics of the car last week...
