Re: Not a beretta but NICE 1995 Monte z34!!

I wonder if it is one of those uber-rare 5-speed models, with the Getrag 284? Personally, I would rather find a clean Lumina Z-34 with the 3.4 TDC, but that is a very well-kept car. My ex girl friend bought a 2000-something 3100 Lumina, and even that wasn't a bad car, despite its' obvious limitation...

Re: beretta z26 vs probe gt (not racing,perse)

I'd go for the probe GT. you can snag one with a v6/5spd combo and has a mazda derived dohc v6 for a better revving engine. It also has better handling capabilities with a fully independent rear suspension setup. Parts are interchangeable with a mazda mx-6 and the pop up headlights are directly fro...

Re: Possible Northstar V8

:deadhorse: Pthbthbpthba! (That is the sound of me biting my tongue.) Okay, until I get it back together and back on the road, I really can't say too much. But, as the current owner of the only N* Beretta I've ever seen, I can say a little... The car is a teal Indy, original 5-speed digital car. Whe...

Re: Like a bad penny...

Thanks, it's good to be here.

No, I'm not in Ohio, or there would have been two 'Fests I could have made it to... I moved to the West-end of the country.

Re: Wanted: GTZ or Z-26 Quad

whats your location??? and arent you the guy that built the 3800sc multi-outlet exhaust car??? Upper (way upper) North-West right now. Ohio is too far for me, or I'd be knocking on the door of that guy from ebay with the yellow Indy for $375 that didn't sell a week or two ago... And yes, that is me...

Re: Like a bad penny...

Thanks for the welocome, it really does feel like coming home, although after the parents moved to another house, the original yard is now a parking-lot in front of a mini-mall, and Aunt Sally has moved in to the guest bed-room... But yeah, it's like coming home! :D I've been reviewing the situation...

Also on the tensioner... an open-end wrench works great, since GM cast the end of the arm nice and square. Doh! I just can't remember off the top of my head what size -3/4", 7/8"? I think the 3/4" (19mm) works... I've also had to do it by brute-force while sitting on top of the engine...

Wanted: GTZ or Z-26 Quad

Okay, so like the title says, I'm in the market for a GTZ or Z-26 Quad-4 car. I am in the North-West part of the US, and can travel a little for the right car. I can even take a Canadian model, if someone can guide me through the customs process. Here is what the ideal candidate would be: 1990 or 19...

Like a bad penny...

Hi all, I almost wanted to put this in the 'off topic' index, because it is about me saying 'hi', and I am for sure a little 'off', topic or otherwise. I didn't see an 'introduction' index on the board, so I'll start here. I was on the old BStuff site for some time, and when it crashed, I didn't fee...
