Indy Decals

Just for a fair warning, you'll be looking for the yellow ones for a while.  The teal car had gray letters, the yellow one had black.  There's a teal set on ebay fairly often, the yellow ones are harder to come by.  I had always wanted to get a teal set and take it to a vinyl guy and have them repro...

Hub Adapters

Berettas have a pretty high negative offset in the first place, so with anything sticking out you'll never find wheels that fit like they should.  

I'd say find a 5x100 wheel or swap over to 5x115 hubs, as stated above.

Interesting Facts About Oil

As long as I'm using conventional oil of any type, I'll never go over 2k, much less 3.  It breaks down over time and heat, no way around it.  A brand new motor with a great filter and conventional oil can lose a quart in 3k without leaking a drop.  It just breaks down after a while.

To EGR or NOT to EGR?

90 and up didn't have the line for the EGR because it's digital and not vacuum controlled.  87-89 2.8's all had the vacuum controlled one.

Congrats on the shop Erich, that's awesome.  Rent on that much storage had to be killing you anyways, and now there'll be actual working room too.  

Let me know when that open house is, I'll be there

Very good product, but like everything, you have to know how to use it.  

Consider it pinned.

Strut mounts

I personally like MOOG or AC Delco the best, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the KYB mounts.  The shocks/struts are great, I've got over 125k on them and they're still good, the mounts were clunking within 20k.

Anybody else remember Dustin's 2.2 top speed video, and how long it took to get to 100?  Ever driven a newer Grand Prix GT??

beretta base vs chevy celebrity

OK, if you want to brag up a car that's not actually all that fast, coming to a place where everybody knows your car better than you do is not the place to do it.  for example, everyone reading this thread knows: ~2.0 is not a quad, just a crappy little 4cyl, capable of 19's in the 1/4 if you're luc...

cranking, no start

Yeah, definitely try to get some NOID lights on the car and crank it over, that'll at least tell you if the computer is firing the injectors.  I don't think it should matter, but just out of curiosity, which injectors are you running, the 3400 ones or the old 3.1 ones?

Good set of gaskets for a 93, 3.1?

Advance and Autozone both have the Fel-Pro stuff online, That's what I always use.  Most of the other gaskets I have seen for our cars are off-brand parts store cheapies.
