Hello, my name is Ger aka ZGear from the Mid-West. Haven't really responded to this forum in all the years I've joined. Though I have supported this site in Minnesota with my 6gc passion.
My initial plans were to save up and buy a blacktop 4a, but in doing so I managed to come across a good deal on a 1st gen 3sgte locally. Whole motor without tranny and a few extra parts for a shiny nickel. My car, stock as ever for about 5 years. ![]() Then an exterior renovation in 2007 ![]() Also an engine face lift ![]() This is how she sat for half a year with a case of bad crank bearing. ![]() ---------------------------------------------------------- Now for the good stuff: ---------------------------------------------------------- BCCentaur and associates: "Blizzard Tuning" ![]() Sorry, wasn't able to do the signature Dr. Tweak pose..... Not shown: deleted AC, power steering, and egr. ![]() 7afe Part-out time! ![]() ----------------------------------------------------------- What will be going in........ Da Da Dum Dum ![]() 1st Gen 3sgte with a TRD low comp head gasket. Comes with a 6GC converted harness for a GT, now all I need is motor mounts, tranny, intercooler, bov, downpipe, seals, etc...... This will be my first turbo motor and a good learning experience before I play with the big boys. I'll try to update along with the progression. -------------------- ![]() |
