These are some pics of a buddies of mines 91 rs its med maui blue and needs some tlc. I'll post the pics and then let him chime in here to tell everything about it.


Thats mine on the right
The cam isnt taking good pics in the shade and it was shady on his side of the street

 

another

 

Heres one of the motor its a 3.1L but the top end is all aluminum from a beretta never seen that done but i don't pay much attention to the 6 bangers anymore its almost running just a few kinks to work out.

And i'll turn it over to john whenever he gets registered i guess i beat him home

 

nice man lets get some mods going

 

huuumm..needs a fair amount of tlc. Ok more than a fair amount, since i think mine needed a fair amount. I kinda like that idea of the 3.1 beretta top end.

 

As far as I know, and correct me if I am wrong, Both of those cars are teal. They are NOT Maui Blue.

My car was originally Maui Blue and I liked the color but went with the Artic blue when I did the repaints ( twice) cause I wanted more silver.

I could be wrong but I am almost positive. Check your color code.

 

the camera must really be off, here is med maui blue...

color code 9537

 

that fwd intake on the 3.1 rwd is nuts lol.

 

The FWD 3.1 from a Beretta or similar FWD car is actually quite different. The heads for one are completely different. The RWD are iron and the FWD are aluminum.

Doesn't the RWD 3.1 use a cap/rotor with distributor? The FWD 3.1 has no distributor, rather it's got a coil for each cylinder.

How'd u get it to work?

I was thinking the same thing over the winter, I wanted to get the top end of a beretta and try this. Apparently it worked out for him. What I was thinking though was trying to get a set of 2001 Alum. Heads off of a buick or GP, there quite a bit better. I seen a set on ebay go for 26 plus shipping off of a 2001 buick.

Tell your friend John to get onto the V-6 board as soon as he can. Everyone on there goes on about how difficult this would be, he could probably help a lot of ppl out.

 

I was told that was med maui blue like flynlow92rs and mines the same as his. I got med maui blue touch up and its close if anything has a little too much green in it at night it looks like a darker blue and during the day it looks teal. The heads are aluminum the problem is he hasnt gotten it running yet. WE finally got the distributor in but not lined up right and it doesnt look like the cap will clear the heads or fuel rail. He was gettign coil packs for it but doesnt realize they wont work i dont think with the rest of the set up. He registered and his screen name is ----aquafbody----- apparently it wouldnt let him post for some reason.

 

OK, I am 100 percent positive now, that car is teal, not maui blue. And Flynlows car is teal too.

My car is really close to maui blue, look in my sig. I would say your car is more green than blue.

 

I know my car is maui blue and i'm on oahu isnt that weird

 

No, not really. I know my car was Maui Blue when i got it and I'm from Kona.

I bet the people on Maui with Maui Blue Camaros are weird.

 

I don't care what color it is as long as it can be mached.

 

I was always told the teal was maui blue but i found the rpo codes the other day and decoded them and its like dark teal metallic. No wonder why i cant find any maui blue touch up that matches now i gotta try this color

I will admit i am wrong

 

I'm on oahu, and almost all the non-black firebirds are this color in the pic. I didn't know that it was called 'maui blue' and that may be why it's more commom than white or red birds. (At least for the ones I see around town in honolulu.) I don't think I've ever seen it on a 'maro.

All but one of those maui blue 'birds are driven by elderly people though.

Laters,

Still trying to get my altenator and tensior mounting bracket on won't fit up quite yet. Any one have sugestions. If you need to see it that is mine above.
