Last photo is the best, the other is not bad(road sign kills it). Next time pull up the sign then shoot. Nah..some just have one bolt at the bottom.
Hey where is the dent?

Dent? Front passenger fender on the front tip.
Was playing around with PS today and did this and thought "That looks wicked!". Not for the calendar obviously, but thought I'd share.

Re: 1992 Quasar Beretta GTZ - New Pics 09-18-11
Little update. I tracked down a water leak (at the fresh air vent under the cowl) and after three attempts sealed it up completely. Washed and waxed the car today and not a drop inside! WIN!
I also had to replace my ECM E-PROM as it was shorted causing a persistent Code 43 (which was because the KSC resides on the chip and the chip was faulty). "New" chip has been fine and I've had ZERO codes now.
Today I did a quick 3K inspection on the top end rebuild and re-checked torque on cam tower bolts, water pump to housing bolts,etc,etc.
*If you're wondering why the bolt check after 3k on a top end rebuild , then either you've never owned a Quad or just don't know that the term "good vibrations" is synonymous with Quads,lol*
I also re-taped the OPSU threads , as I noticed it was dripping a tad. Those things are a REAL pita on the Quad.
Also put a new exhaust manifold gasket in her today too. Old one was leaking a bit. No problem there either.
And finally, she got her "last good detail before winter" detail.
A few quick pics below. I love the reflective qualities of this color. Note the gravel reflection in the lower panels.

Re: 1992 Quasar Beretta GTZ - New Pics 09-18-11
So why did you decide to put this up for sale? I see it's up on CL. Got a new project in line or somethin? Just curious.

I must say this Mike......... I hate you
If I ever look for another Beretta, which would be a toy car, it would be a GTZ again. I loved my old GTZ. Unfortunately the GTZ market here is almost zip! I love the Quasar on blue. Such a sharp color

Mike hasn't been active on here since he got a 1 week ban. I guess he took that a little bit more personal. Just thought I would let you know so your not waiting for a reply.
Re: 1992 Quasar Beretta GTZ - New Pics 09-18-11
Well, he has been visiting however, the last time was the 16th of Feb.
He'll be back.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Yeah I'm not surprised that he's been visiting, I guess he just doesn't feel like contributing since he got in trouble.
Re: 1992 Quasar Beretta GTZ - New Pics 09-18-11
More likely he was just fed up dealing with some of us on here. Can't help but feel partly responsible myself. We didn't always see eye-to-eye, but I didn't hate him or anything.

Re: 1992 Quasar Beretta GTZ - New Pics 09-18-11
I'm still kickin' and check the board now and then. Quasar is doing well, did a lot of driveway time until recently due to several big ass snow storms that dropped over 3 feet on us that stayed for over a month thanks to sub zero temps. Just recently started driving her again when all cleared up. Did a brand new tensioner wheel as the old one's pressed in bearing was shot causing me to eat belts of late. That solved that problem along with another brand new Serp belt. This time I should be good to go for awhile. Damn tensioners.....
So, yup, still alive and around a bit.
I was banned,lol? News to me. I just stopped coming around for awhile.
Thanks for the comps John, long time no see bro.
