Yes I know its not a J-body BUT I want to thank this board for having the write ups that work on my car as well for cheap affordable big brake upgrades, and a rear disc conversion that has a working parking brake!

Thanks to those who busted their balls testing this stuff because the results are awesome!

Thanks again guys. I'll be using a lot of this content in the Beretta.net message board and I will give credit to those who originally wrote these.

Nice work. I'm not a fan of the color, but the car itself is very well done.

Now...why doesn't GM make more cars with the handle hidden in the B pillar like that. To me that's all the benefit looks wise to an electric door popper without all the work and the dead battery backup hassle.

wow..that's nice. Like the color and everything.

drag dr17's FTW!

The color has a little story behind it... There were only 1,455 Raspberry Metallic Beretta's made in 1996, Z26 and base model combined... so they are rather rare and hard to come by. I found this car as a base and decided to keep it the same color after the Z26 conversion and when I had it repainted because well I liked the color and I think its hilarious to go to a track and have people laugh at you and then you roll a 13sec slip...

Thanks for the compliments.

love the clean look

Very nice! Makes me miss mine, my first car was a 5-speed beretta. I had lot's of fun in that car.

Awesome ride man and the all disc setup is sweetalicious.
Excellent work on the bigger brake kit for the front.
This is what tuning and modding is all about and that's to share information for the betterment of our cars.
