Bought a new 1
Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 11:06 pm
Bought a new beretta, 95 Z with manual swap and 3400 in it.
So I didn't do any of the installations on this car, but a couple things don't work. Lets see if I can get the answers I need .
Question # 1. Speedo doesn't work, but tac does. I'm guessing that he didn't wire up the speedo correctly, anyone have diagrams or pictures from when they did their swaps? He says it's a getrag 282. Also might help, looks like he has had the cluster out, now has a white face and that aluminum bezel that you can buy off ebay.
Question # 2. Just haven't spent more than 5 mins with the car, but would appear that the battery isn't charging. Does anything have to be re-wired when doing a 3400 swap? That way I just have to look for a splice instead of diaging other stuff .
And last question #3. What are your guys ideas about all I should do to make it stick to the ground better. Spins clear though 3rd. What tires do you guys use (does anyone change their rim size to get cheaper tires, and have a better selection)? What about suspension wise, been asking around and of course poly everything/kybs (the car has erebuni springs in it and the upper strut mounts are now popping when on a hard slow turn (no surprise there)). It has a 92 sub frame in it so he wouldnt have to weld the mounts, so what poly sub bushings are available for that? Also said he put addco front/rear sway bars in it, but i'll have to raise it in the air at work and pop off some pictures for you guys.
Thanks
