Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

Keepin on keepin on. Got the wiring 100% finished. Now the key turns the car on & off and all the gauges work. I even fixed the trunk popper that needed to be in "park". haha https://youtu.be/iWSmuRs3MpE Found some nice little surprises. Being a 96 actually simplified some of the wirin...

Re: OBDI.5 to OBDII Engine bay harness fixes

Jay has been tuning OBD1.5, but I know he was still interested in this swap.

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

It lives again! Got the DIY stainless fuel tank done. Fits nicely and leaves a decent trunk with 17gal capacity. It's 14g 304SS and on the heavy side, using the factory fuel pump module with a Walbro 255HP. I don't love that the filler is inside the trunk, but I couldn't come up with a better way to...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

Rear suspension completely finished! Had my buddy laser some brackets to relocate the lower control arms and panhard bar at the lower ride height. Converted LCAs to rod ends on one side and welded more bracing on the torque arm. Also bent some 3/4" plates to strengthen the driveshaft tunnel str...

I thought all the LTZ had them...maybe I'm wrong.

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

Thanks man. The style strut bar I made definitely wouldn't clear the coil packs or the brakes in the stock application.

New plasma video coming soon. I'm almost done with it.

Re: Factory GTZ style seats in a Corsica(ish)?

Yup, the LTZ Corsica had the GTZ-style seats, so it doesn't surprise me there was a Canadian equivalent. They are slightly different than Beretta seats, because they don't lean forward for rear seat access like Berettas do. They do bolt right in though. I know there have been a couple Corsicas with ...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

Guess I forgot to post my "rear subframe" video. Worked out pretty nice as some new rear structure to be able to clearance the unibody for lower ride height and move the coilover mounts up to keep my full shock travel. It's also going to be a nice solid mount for the fuel tank but that wil...

Oh and you can also see I got the truck cruise control box mounted, just like I did with my 91. Plugs right into the Beretta harness. Gotta love GM!

Re: Back to Berettas after 15+ years

Yeah, there's just something about Berettas...they feel like "home" to me. But...I'm on #4 with only a 3 month gap in ownership over a 20-yr period. :lol: I haven't street driven a Beretta in over a year, though, and it's really weird. I miss it.

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

Got the coilovers done and the video up. https://youtu.be/et8G4sg5xGA Alex cut some plates on his plasma table from a PDF I designed in Adobe Illustrator (poor man's CAD). haha. I moved the pivot back for more caster and isolated with rubber so the NVH should be fine. Using 200lb springs instead of ...

Re: LS1/t56 swap

The Delorean DMC-12 initially had the fuel-filler in the 'trunk' (which was of course up front, since the Delorean was a mid-engine car), and the whole lid had to be opened-up to fill the tank. Shortly into production though, they 'updated' the 'trunk lid' with a gas-flap door in the edge. So that ...
