I am thinking that i could use some kind of matte finish on mine, it looks cheap the way it is stock.

I have been DAILY DRIVING this car for a while now since the black car is unfinished, parts at the paint shop.


Some pictures took from driving car late summer night again, not quite centered since the driver and photographer was the same.

I've had few technical issues with the car, first the alternator cracked, after I had replaced the case (took one from the one that left me on the road @ 2009 in France)
Next day the radiator started leaking, so i had to replace that, took one from my parts car. I guess that was my own installation error since it had wiggled against the engine oil cooler and worn out.

And after taking these pictures I got a loud lifter noise, so that is next on the list, going to have to take look at that after the black car is back on the road.
Those failing Sealed Power lifters have like couple thousand miles on them...

Man that looks so mean.
Sealed Power was a good brand at one time. Not the best, but it's crazy to think they have gone down hill. It happenes too much these days.

Looking good. The lip looks perfect on it.

I changed 2 lifters from exhaust side of cyl #1.
I could not figure out which one was broken, the all feel little weird compared to stock ones, and if the issue renews, the stock lifters go back in.

Also upgraded cam gaskets to Viton since I've been having some leak issues with rubber ones.

Todo for next 3 months is only swap in new drive belt and design a bump steer fix kit, and get it made in machinery. Not starting anything new for next summer. (other plans for money, and the black car also seems to cause trouble all the time)

Plan for next summer is to tune up the computer and drive.. Would need new tires for track use, let's see what happens :)

That's a Beretta for you, if you don't give them enough time they act up. Oh man I'm in trouble.

Now this is the first time I see this car and man it just stood out. This car should be in the Beretta calendar. Very nice Beretta. Now that is how I would like mine to look.
