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.....  , but it is shiny!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. --------------------  |

There's plenty of guys in Wisconsin that mods too. Yeah it'd be cool to see all the northern Midwest people meet up. Minnesota's 6GC club is slowing dying, but there's a few loyal ones. Give it time and people will have their projects up and running again. We'll gladly give you a helping hand, especially Blizzard Tuning aka BCCentaur & Associates.
