    165k...i've had it for over a year...paid $2k when it hat 141k (got ass raped there)



    That's how ugly it is now

    A little photoshop and it goes from

    A list of my goals over the next 2 years are below in no particular order

    Stage 1: Taillights and headlights
    Stage 2: Black crosslaces
    Stage 3: Paint trim, and fix and chips and dents, new TGP/GTP hood
    Stage 4: Exhaust
    Stage 5: Lower the damn car
    Stage 6: Tint windows
    Stage 7: HUD, digtal gauges, DIC and PW, PL, RKE, etc.
    Stage 8: Bucket seats in front and rear
    Stage 9: 3400 top end, or maybe a 3.4 DOHC
    Stage 10: Getrag 282/284
    Stage 11: UDP, Chip, etc.

            A lot of early-mid 90's GM cars did this. It was a problem with the primer GM was using during that time. My sisters '95 & '96 Berettas both did it, my '90 Calais is doing it.

              what does the primer have to do with it if it's only the clear and only the spoiler?

                Looks like a good project. A little tidbit about your Tail light plans though. Instead of swapping lights, just getting rid of the center light and blacking the stock taillights would give it alot better look.

                Also on your engine plans, the 3.4DOHC is a great motor, but the 3100 is no slouch. Its a great motor with tons of performance options. I would stick with it just because maintnence is alittle cheaper.

                Over $12K invested, and still its slow. Maybe thats because thats most all repairs. Don\'t knock the engine though, because thats the only part that has seemed to last.
