Sleeper_Lumina Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 Hey, I'm new to the forum How many people are into the 2nd Gen (or i guess 1.5 gen) Lumina's? I'm about to buy one and i was just wondering what kind of people out there drive them, and what their plans with them are. Presently i own an 89 VW Diesel Golf...with more problems than a ford thanks I hope to learn alot here, Jeff Quote
jeremy Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 I'm about to buy one and i was just wondering what kind of people out there drive them, and what their plans with them are. first of all, welcome aboard... ....then to answer your question, most people who drive 1.5G luminas are women over the age of 60 that can't drive for shit and their plans for them include,.never changing the oil/spark plugs/wires/tires/coolant and running into the nicest car they can find while battling over a parking spot at the local Wal-Mart while doing last minute christmas shopping if you MUST get a lumina, get a Z Quote
Aaron Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 Yes get a Z. I have a nice red one thats pretty quick and a 5-speed for sale... Quote
Crimson Fury Z Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 ello! what engine? what year? if you can find a lumina ltz(4 door monte z34) and try to snag the ltz w/ monte g-fx, like a white one i saw! Quote

DiscoStudd Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 A stock "Granny" Lumina with a swapped-in L67 (Supercharged 3800 Series II) would make for a killer sleeper. If you wanna shock the rice boys, get the planest-looking Loomie you can find (column shift, 15" steelies) swap in an L67, and mod the hell out of the motor. If you only want to mildly shock your "opponents," get a 98-99 Loomie 9C3 (police package.) They are as granny looking as they get, but the dual exhaust is a dead giveaway that it has the n/a 3800 (L36.) If you want "show and go" then get an LTZ (98-99.) They look just like a 4-door Z34 and have the same drivetrain... Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 welkom to the board!! get a 1998-1999 Lumina LTZ with the Series II 3800 V6...end of story. Quote
