Default 93 z34?

I know its a Lumina, but does it get any love here? I mean its just a name, but its in the same spot in the line-up. I guess if there is a place for it here, where do I look for that place?

Where do they fit at here? I bought mine a couple months ago from a guy down the road. Had a sign in it for 1000. Was trying to get things together to buy it, the next day I drive by and the sign says 500. So I buy it. The drivers window wont roll down, needs a power steering rack(I hope thats it to fix P/S), and I had to replace a brake line. Has a 3.8L thats really stuffed in there man, and has 84xxx miles on it.

1) A 93 Lumina Z34 doesn't fit well here, but I really like those cars. Especially the few rare ones with 5 speeds. A forum that would fit you better would be www.w-body.com/forum.php I am a member there as well.

2) Are you sure your Z34 has a 3800 in it? It shouldn't because all Lumina Z34's came with the 3.4L DOHC v6 (LQ1). Even Monte's didn't get the 3800 until 98.

Regardless, you have a cool car. I dream of finding one that cheap some day.

I dont know where I got the 3.8 from. I just had to go outside and see that I was wrong. Like I said I have no idea where I got that from.

I hope that rack fixes the P/S. I go through a quart of P/S Fluid about everytime I turn the steering wheel. Once that is fixed I will have a pretty good daily driver. My Dakota gets about 13/gal and that kills me some weeks

My uncle was a big-time Chevy guy, that's all he drove. He restored a '56. Once he traded one of his Chevys in on a Pontiac, but that was it. Anyway, he bought a brand new white Lumina Z34 coupe when they first came out. That car was sweet but I can't remember if it was a 5 speed or not. I would not rule it out, because he was performance minded. Sadly he traded it in after a few years.

I love Lumina too. Not big on the plain ol' granny sedans, but if they are optioned out a little they can be sharp!

Especially the 95-99 Lumina LTZ

I love the old Z34s. They were a hell of a car when they came out. You dont happen to have a 5 speed version do you?

I was behind a flat bed wrecker last week and it had a white Z-34. No Damage. Thought it was gonna turn into the salvage yard but it didn't. I was gonna check on it. They are good looking cars if they are Z-34's.
