There is a 1989 black Reatta for sale in Omaha, Nebraska. It has 143,000 miles on it and the guy wants $5,900.00 for it. I told him he was crazy on the price. I looked at it and it seems to be in good shape. djbillyt@hotmail.com

Have you changed the timing chain yet?

Jim, Are you located in Duluth, Minn? I am in Omaha, Nebraska. I am considering on some purchases from you. If you are that close to me, I can just drive to your location. I need a good drivers tan door panel. Also I am looking at the 16 way power seats, (tan in color). Thanks for your reply.

Hey David, When you say the whole setup, do you mean the complete engine with the supercharger-etc on it?

What's up? I understand you had problems or are currently having problems with your ignition switch. In that switch assembly, (in the steering wheel), there is a thing that they call a cam/fork. That thing can go bad and jam up things, and cause your type of problem. It happened to me about 5 years ago. I understand that it was a GM flaw due to wear. It is very understandable because the ignition switch does get alot of use over the years. Check it out when you go in there. I had to get a steering wheel repair guy to do the work for me. He knew about the problem on GM cars. The cam/fork was about $35.00 at the time.

Here is my two cents worth. I had a similar problem. Display would come on sometime and sometime not.Turned out to be the power control under the dash near the right side of the steering wheel. WOW, the problem went bye-bye after I replaced it. Not sure if my problem is your problem, but wanted to share that with you.

What's up with this low boost supercharger? What does it look like-etc? Can you supply info and pictures via this discussion board?

Hey Daniel, I'll have to get with you one day about the supercharger installation. I was tracking you and your project last year in 2007 but interest kind of fall off. I have the supercharger-etc. Just wondering how much electronics had to be modified. Holla Back man !!

Hey, Paint the muffler with 2000F degree black paint and the muffler won't show so much. Worked great on my 89.

That's funny. The weight & balance is just fine.

I saw some MTX, (5.25), speakers just recently. They cost $119.00 for a pair. They were single, (not dual voice coils).In other words, they were bass/low range only speakers. They seem to be high quality units. I'm going to take my Reatta rear speaker enclosures to the vender and size the whole deal up soon, (as of 14-Oct-2008). I am looking for the foam/rubber clearance when the coil retracts and contracts. There could be a possibility that the foam/rubber will chaff the plastic speaker enclosers as it moves in and out. I will report my findings and the part/model number of the speakers soon. Also if I purchase and install the speakers, I will let you all know about their performance/sound.later

I for one would like to see this done. Don't give up. Make it happen!!

Daniel, You are right. I removed the tabs with a hack saw blade. Next time I will use a small air grinder with a small cutting wheel. The hack saw thing was slow. Also the inside of the vertical center console was modified somewhat. The steel lining inside on the left side of the console was cut and modified to accommodate the din size radio cage, (the cage that the unit slides into). The steel lining was not cut out completely but just partially and bent/pushed out to accommodate the cage width from left to right. All din size radios have the same width from left to right. The problem area is the measurement from front, (just behind the radio faceplate/trim rectangle), to the back of the radio. Some units are shorter than others by a couple of inches. That measurement is important because the unit will hit the fuse box on the right rear side if the radio unit is too deep. This limits the radio models you can use, but there are lots of high tech units out there that you can use. I'll send/post some ideal measurements to work with when I pull my radio unit out in a couple of days.I'll also post/send some pictures when I modify the console that I recently brought from the junk yard. I will have to do it a couple of times to get it perfected. I'll Maybe even play around with the dash faceplate choices, to get the right look. I have access to lots of center consoles and dash faceplates. It's almost like research and development at this point. Later

Hey Daniel, No I didn't remove the fog switch. I relocated it just above the Sony audio unit. See it under the ipod to the right? I did some cleaning up of the installation today, (Oct-12-2008).I Will have more pictures as I progress.

Hey Daniel, That's neat. Good Job! I went out to the junk yard today and got another vertical center console for $5.00. I'm gonna try a little something until I get it perfected.
