Roberts 89 GT/U build 3400/3500 WOT-Parts

[3400-95-Modified]

Can I work on my own car... LOL!

I have all of my un-installed Stage 2 parts for the legacy sitting in its own trunk waiting for me to have time to blast and coat them... I have so much work backing up its not even funny. Nothing against Robert or this build but I will be glad to have it done. We both know its taken way longer than we anticipated and I'm sure a bit more epxensive than Robert anticipated as well, but the outcome is worth it!

Oh Robert, I found the other Z51 swaybar bracket stuff... All I'm missing now is the outer bushing brackets, which can come from any pre 95 beretta sway bar install. So if you want that I can throw it in the trunk for now and maybe we can install it come spring time when you want to do struts and the dyno tune with wideband and such.

although i'm not a chrome fan those rims do actually look good on your car. the header coating looks good and i like the V-band setup. still gotta pull my headers to put the v-bands on.

nice work Jon, i should send you my car. engine hasn't been apart since it went together back in 08, and the transmission well that's a bomb waiting to explode.

I hope to see the box for the jackshaft when I get home tonight and I'll be installing it tomorrow night and then doing some more road tuning.

I hope to have the car this weekend= - )
Yeah jon does amazing things to berettas!!!

[unchained01]

Very nice work Jon!!

[3400-95-Modified]

A lot of work Sat and Sunday

Clutchmaster install





Woody told me this is how the throw out bearing goes... LOL












Installed the old jack shaft for the mean time so I could get some tuning done... Its either that or Robert would have to wait two extra weeks to get the car back since I'm out of town the weekend of the 10th. He hopes to pick the car up this weekend if I can get the tune down.

Video I made sucks ass... I'll get one tomorrow when its outside and not echoing in my garage. I'm going to take it to work.

But here are some pics to hold you over.

Thinking you might have the beretta finished after thanksgiving.It looks beautiful man im very happy.You really did an awesome job!!!

Here ya go motor technically all done minus clutch assy.

Got the right AC delete bracket on there so now you don't have to lug around a dead A/C compressor









Just gotta clean up the bracket and paint it before going in for good.



You have me brazing stuff to make it right! Had to buy a small brazing torch, its been coming out good though.

Put the TB bracket on the lower side of the main heater core pipe vs the top, clears the headers and is now also supported properly.



The little torch I got works quite well.





Brazed the other bracket on the lower hose so your using the press in type but I rotated it so it points closer to the core lines on the firewall so I can use stock lines instead of those crazy ones that were on there.

Sorry I missed this question before... I had to clearance the scraper on three of the rod areas, nothing too major though, did that and all was well, the rest was fine.



The wife does want her garage bay back soon... LOL and I need to do SOMETHING to my car this year. We can revisit some more in the spring/summer time when garage space isn't at a premium.

Yeah i understand i want to put the car away for winter myself.

3400-95-modified, that is some of the cleanest work I had ever seen. That engine is sexy...can't wait to hear her lope then open up her might and fury.

This really is inspiring me to pull my block, get it tanked and spray a nice engine enamel. But I'll have to wait until I do the wot-tech turbocam swap.

How was it to get the crank scraper positioned correctly? Any trimming or filing required?

Im sure my car will be done very soon.Then you can clean everything before winter
Or we can keep doing stuff to the car.And i'll keep paying you.lol
