89BonnieSE89: u done any intake mods to your '89? I'm toying with the idea of rigging up some sort of ram air intake (down by the air dam).

Chances are if I ever do go down, its a default that I bring down beer. Apparently, our friends willwren and Jr can't seem to work without it. And if its good ol 5.5% then, well, you know....
As for the custom intake, I have been grillin Hector about building a custom intake (ADTR). He has some for Series II, but not yet for older Series I'* or 3800'*.
RAM air does sound good, I'd been interested to see what you have in mind.... . The air intake is a high priority for me in next few months. I'd like a chip too, but, doesn't sound like a whole lot is available for 89'*

Hold tight on the Series 1 intake. It'* closer to a test-fit than you may think

Jr
The dealer told me its 6hrs of labour. So, $92 an hour, is almost $600, then parts, probably no more the $100. Then the taxes....yecch.
So, I'm looking at about $1100. My buddy wants me to pick up the Haynes manual, we might take a crack at it this spring.
Florida is better tho

That job will be a piece of cake with a good manual. Jseabert never changed his oil before and did his head gaskets with just my manual. Just did his water pump, too. Take your time, with the right book, anyone can do it with minimal tools. These 3800'* are EASY to work on. Very predictable.
