Here is my Baby, I love this car to death!  It is in perfect shape and is a 1994, it has 57,000 miles on it.

-KYB Shocks and Struts
-1.7 Inch lowering springs
-Borla Exhaust
-High Flow Cat
-High flow Borla Header
-17" ICW Racing Rims
-30mm Front Swaybar
-26mm Competition Rear Swaybar
-K&N Intake
-Upper and Lower Tower Braces
-All new internals

Here is it in the winter with when the rims are off, and its looking rather sad!

...

Its a 3100 SFI V6, I am putting out about 230 hp with it, It came stock with 160 hp. 

It is a sleeper pretty much, I have Grand Prix GTP's comming up to me with there little supercharger thinking they can take a "stupid beretta" but I show them whats up.

Its descently quick

Thats not so bad for a V6, especially one as small as 3.1L.  The way you get a good 0-60 time is have big torque-which generally means big cubic inches.  You can also get good 0-60 times by other means such as a supercharger as well.  But, with a naturally aspirated engine the only way is to have more displacement.

If you get a chance, you should make a page about your car at www.cardomain.com (if you haven't already).  I did one for my car quite some time ago and I got all kinds of responses and ideas for people how had simular projects.  Plus, you can display your car and its modifications to other enthuasiasts.

Thanks Richie! Yes I do have a page there already, I am dead willing to get a turbo charger but unfortunetely they do not make a kit for my car, I would have to custom make my headers, I have most of the internals already, but then get the larger exhaust and the intercooler piping all custom made which would be rather expensive, plus the stage 3 HKS turbo which i had at my house but then sent back Sad

I will get some better pictures of my car, these ones are crappy!

Yes it is a Beretta, Good observation.  I know you just didn't say it, your rolling your eyes because I am spending money on a car that is not "popular" well guess what, I am having fun with it and yes it is a challenge, most things have to be custom made and it makes it all the more fun, so you can go f*ck yourself alright.

What kind of car do you drive? This one costed me $2,000 and it had 46,000 miles which is damn good for a 1994, I have up to $4,000 in mods in it right now so I am not in the mood for little pricks dissing it like its nothing.


Sorry if I made a scence just people dont need to be jerks about things, always has to be some smart a$$ comments.

Don't worry about it dude, I wouldn't even give him that satasfaction.  Sure, its a Beretta but you like it and thats all that matters.  In my experience, no matter what kind of car you have someone will make a comment like that.  For example, about a year and a half ago I bought a 1969 Camaro (my dream car).  I didn't even have it a month and someone asked me "why would you want an old Camaro, thats what everyone wants?"  They bascially accused me of just getting it because it is a popular model (so, I wasn't being original), they never even considered that it might have been the car of my dreams. 

So, with people who make comments like that-you just can't win.  If you get a super popular model you get accused of trying to be "part of the fab" or not being original.  If you get a lesser popular model, you get comments like "its a beretta....................... "  Therefore, don't worry about them.  Don't even acknowledge them.  I have been around modified a customized cars for a long time, I there are many things that I really don't like.  But I never make destructive comments like that to the people who built them, there just isn't a good reason to.

I think that's a cool, subtle little street fighter you got there. I see a lot of cheaply-done, whiny,  showoff-y Hondas around here that always sound like the tranny's going to explode, and fishtail like crazy when Mr. Badass puts the hammer down. I laugh at them as they pass me in my Geo Tracker...

Yeah I can take most of those hondas, my friend has one, 1994 Honda Civic, 1.5 Liter with 17" Rims and full exhaust, I think I could beat it in reverse! LOL, they are nice looking cars though, I fully support him, we are best friends!

RichieB your a good man, Thanks for the support!

My local "street-racers" laugh at my "stock*" '96 Jetta until I fire it up (I don't actually have a license, but there's nothing wrong with firing-it-up to stop it seizing-up)
Once it's all warmed-up, if you closed your eyes, you wouldn't think it's a Jetta 8), I got a few friends in the "specialist" business to play with my engine/exhaust config.
They fitted a custom exhaust, I now have quad pipes (two either side of the number (license) plate, tuned the engine and added so much stuff under the bonnet (hood) it's ridiculous Undecided

Anyways, once I get my license I'm gonna show those punks what it's really like Wink, their Fiesta's, Golf's, Neon's etc... will be eating dust Grin
They guys who did the work reckon with the right timing on my shifts I could probably out-accelerate a Ferrari (I doubt it tho' Undecided)

Anyways, I really like the look of your ride, it kinda says "I may be uncool, but my engine is gonna help me kick your a$$!" Wink. . . . . Grin

Cheers,

GM

* They call it stock because there are NO external mods (except for the exhaust), I even have the stock rims on it Shocked
