Nice, great to see the tunnel covered up again, and of course pics (along with the Sept vid) of the Flintstone Floor deletion -aka an actual FLOOR.
Gotta be getting close enough to itch by now. Are you going to see pavement under this before the snow flies?

Okay, so on YOUR car, everything runs fine unless it has sat and cooled-down for half an hour, then it cranks but won't start, is that correct? GM fuel-mapping of the day was HEAVILY reliant on Coolant Temp readings, and a bad CTS (your car should have two -one in a cylinder-head with a single green...

Started (and moved) a couple of 'em that have been sitting for a VERY long time. Started and ran the Yellow Indy yesterday (still haven't bothered looking into the ECM problem yet -probably won't as it is just time to swap-in the five-speed and Series 3 3800 SC I have waiting for it). The blue-on-bl...

I considered going with Mazdacomp dry sump system to increase the flow.. But obviously it bit too much set up about 4-5K. Anyone have any other suggestion to increase oil flow volume?? Any trick to modifying stock oil pump etc?? Well, this is somewhat a different discussion than the OP's "MPG&...

Thanks for the update, glad they took care of it. I like RA and am happy to support them back.

Wow! Beautiful car, nice background story too, thank you for sharing! I am still missing a GTZ from my Beretta collection (probably not going to happen), so I am just a tad jealous, 1990 is THE year IMO. Hope to see more of it around on the site, welcome to the addiction. BTW, -I have a 300ZX Turbo ...

Funny you should ask... :D This swap has been talked about and kicked around in discussions for as far back as I go into these Forums, including the now-dead bstuff . As far as I have ever seen, ONE mock-up was done (actually in a "J-Body" Cavalier bay, which was in that era the same as ou...

When I bought my Yellow Indy, the car had been daily-driven, but the previous owner didn't have much mechanical aptitude, and had issues with an improperly installed front wheel bearing (twice). So I had to trailer it home. Worse, he was a bit of a slob: when I pulled the seats to repair some of the...

The first-gen Cruzes had a 1.4T and 1.8n/a with the manual, and that was it. There was a 2.0T diesel that was auto only, but the next gen (16+) I think did get the manual with the diesel. :ROFL: I totally missed that the Cruze's 2.0 was a diesel! Well, NOT the Saab Ecotech then! :roll: :oops: Do yo...

The Saab was a no-go: slush-box. Nice little car in very clean condition in and out, even if it had the wrong 'stick' transmission I could have been interested in it for ~$100, but I have no idea what is wrong with it and I have no interest in another automatic convertible -we still have the six-spe...

No! Oof. I locked up a 282 once, but was able to save it. It had a snap ring failure that allowed the gears to move on the shaft. Rebuilt it and I was back in business. That just blocked me out of gear with the engine running and then locked in a couple gears at once when I stopped and tried to dia...

There should be a small amount of flexibility in the dogbone (torque-strut), if that is what you mean by 'slack', but not a lot. It shouldn't move, like slide back and forth, in the bracket AT ALL. When GM re-designed the engine-mounts for these cars, they gave them a lot more 'slop' than they had i...

...I blew it up. =@ Well, I HAD the first-ever documented (so far as I have seen) six-speed Beretta. On the way home, the GTU's transmission locked up. Jammed completely in all forward gears, I'll look into reverse tomorrow maybe. DAMN! The F40 has been a PITA from the beginning, with the third-shaf...

Added caster-angle will certainly make it more stable in a straight-line, probably turn smoother for you in a corner too. You are definitely re-inventing the wheel on this one, but it will probably roll better than the original, and yeah, if you can remove the repetitive joke that is "turning r...

$800 with a bad axle-shaft isn't bad these days.. I have seen exactly ONE 2WD Blazer of the era -and it was on the back of a truck going into the junk-yard! Another 5-speed though... You keep striking pay-dirt on those. Looks like it could be a decent rig.
