jeremy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 #1 - STEs in 90 were available NA and Boosted, correct? #2 - very few were available manual, correct? #3 - if they were both NA and boosted, could the manual be had with either engine? THanks Quote
White93z34 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 my understanding is that no LG5 was avaliable with a MT. Quote
jeremy Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Posted January 20, 2006 so by that rationale, if a 90STE is a mtx then it has to be NA... Quote
White93z34 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 yes, i think robby has a 1990 STE thats just a LH0, i remember reading that you could get the 1991 STE with a LQ1 and a MT, so i should see no reason that you cannot get a LH0 with a MT in 1990, since early w-bodys seemed to get the manual trans more then anything 92-up Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 i found a '90 STE with 3.1/282 on autotrader last night. no pics of the car though. they do exist. as far as '90 STE goes, here is the combo you could get: - 3.1 Turbo with auto only - NA 3.1/5-speed - NA 3.1/auto i wouldn't be surprised if the 3.1/5-speed '90 STE was much more rare than the 1000 STE Turbos.

Robby1870 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 yeah, n/a 90 STE 4 spd auto here. Ive never seen or heard of a manual n/a, but Im sure there are some. Quote
Euro Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 yeah...what everybody else said jeremy did you find one? Quote
supreme_style21 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I've had these pictures forever so I don't know where they came from or from who, but the titles I have them saved as are 90ste, so I can only assume that is what it is. Quote
jeremy Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Posted January 20, 2006 jeremy did you find one? I have a very strong lead on one....3.1N/A... white but it has grey cloth .....we will see how things turn out... Quote
White93z34 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 i could help you out on tan leather for a STE Quote
Euro Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 I've had these pictures forever so I don't know where they came from or from who, but the titles I have them saved as are 90ste, so I can only assume that is what it is. is that a 90??? it looks like its got the 91 DOHC fender tags Quote
supreme_style21 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 I dunno... there are no hood vents, but like I said, I can't make any claim as to what year it is exactly.. it's just pictures I've had on my laptop for like the past 4 years. Quote
jeremy Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Posted January 21, 2006 i could help you out on tan leather for a STE I didn't know they made tan STE seats.....I don't think that they would look good in a white car anyway....I am somewhat intrigued by this car and I should be getting pics sent to me by sometime tomorrow.....I just hope that it isn't too big of a pile...

Pretty sure only the turbo STE's and GTPs got hoodvents, so a 3.4 STE wouldn't have them. He has a good point though, looks like it has the 24 Valve DOHC fender badges. Quote

Guest TurboSedan Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 huh, maybe i'm wrong: jmack's '92 DOHC STE: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/523848/ could have swore the '91 i looked at had hood vents but it's been awhile since i seen the car. Quote
Euro Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 wow....me likey jmack's car :shock: Quote
RareGMFan Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 Yes, the only 4 door GPs to get hood vents were the TSTEs (TGP style, bigger hood vents), and the later GTs (smaller, '94 - '96 version vents). Yes, there were '90 n/a STEs that got the 282. And no, none of the turbos (TGP or TSTE) came with a manual. Holstbnet on here used to have a maroon '90 5-speed/3.1 STE. I believe he sold it to a ClubGP member in MI who's done some EXTENSIVE part replacing. Quote

I believe he sold it to a ClubGP member in MI who's done some EXTENSIVE part replacing. Yes he did sell it to a guy in MI that bascially went through the whole car. The guy is from the same home town as me and pulled up next to me at a stop light in it like 2 years ago when I was in my STE. I talked to him for a minute and he told me it was an original 5 speed car. :shock: Last year he replaced like every component under the car that could possibly be replaced. Its a very nice car now. Its the only 3.1/5 speed STE I've ever seen before. I'm pretty sure they are REALLY rare. Shawn Quote
Bossman429 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 I'm here a little late, but heres an article I scanned a while back of a car shootout featuring a 91 STE 3.4 car out of Motor Trend June 1991. http://photobucket.com/albums/a348/bossman429/?action=view¤t=scan0012.jpg It's hard to see in the pic, but I looked at the mag to verify that the STE does not have hood vents, and does have the DOHC badge, and an auto trans. I paid like $14 for 8 magazines, and that was the only article I wanted. Taurus SHO vs STE vs Dodge Spirit R/T Quote
