89 Beretta GT 3400 5spd

Berettaspeed's 1989 Chevrolet Beretta

I bought this car January of 2002 for 1100 dollars. It was Originaly Marroon and I hated the color. The only thing that really made me buy the car was the 5spd. The body was in good shape and I wanted to have a project car. At the time I owned 2 other berettas which I do not own now, but I guess you could say I liked berettas just alittle too much and still do. I wanted to make my beretta fast and keep up with the local racers in my area. I loved racing but I didn't win too many races with the 2.8MPFI engine.(Cough Cough) It only put out 130HP and 160TO stock. That would be only the begining To make the car what it is today.

Well it took me almost a year to figure out what I was going to do to my car. Before that I put a 62mm Throttle Body(TB) and a WAI on my 2.8MPFI. I also put in a new stage 1 clutch because my old one was slipping. The best I ever did with that was a 16.509@82mph. Well my 2.8 took a crap so I had no choice but to get a new engine. Talking on internet boards, I finally found what I wanted to do.

08/12/09 Car has been down for some time due to buying a house in FEB of 2006. Car has a tuned TGP bin that is still way too rich but can safely drive around at 12 A/F and idle @ 10 A/F(ekk). at WOT im still in the 10s for A/f So far best ET was 13.8@109pmh. Had too much wheel spin in lower gears then see,s clutch was slipping in 3rd and 4th. I need to install my clutch and get tunning again. ALL this has been delayed. thats it. haha. Damn house. but at least i have a garage to put it in :)

Nice sleeper mods. The turbo looks pretty nice as long as it doesn't have any shaft play or anything. Now you have a vague idea of how tight the piping can get in a wrx like mine, and I still have a good top mount. If I had a front mount stuff would start to almost not fit. Keep up the good work.
