  1. It might sound weird but I had a dream one night when I was 15 that I had a firebird and lived near the beach and was happy and blah blah blah life goes on. I bought my first car right after turning 16, which I hated. (1999 escort). For 6+ months I tried selling this car and as soon as it sold I found my firebird on craigslist (of all places). After not getting a response from the first email I sent the owner, I sent another one a week later. The next weekend, it was set up that I was going to "look at" this car. I decided as soon as I saw it that it was mine and brought it home for $1500 and still have it 2 1/2 years later.


    The only thing this car owes me is a cruise along the coast now. Which won't be happening for a while. After listing it for sale for a few days recently I decided to take it down and keep it. A girl can never have too many vehicles right? :)



    The day I brought her home:

    and my most recent picture of her next to my new DD:

  2. Still looks good. Honestly if you build that car up, it will kick some serious ass, and i would love to see it!

    Yea the more I think about it a cam and a tune is a realistic possibility for the near future

    Just needs some more wetsanding and clearcoat for it to look great, tbh.

    Yea can't really see it in that picture but it needs another coat + the roof to be done. I also have another hatch with the high rise spoiler that needs to go on.
  3. Other than engine mods, anything else in mind? Suspension, wheels/tires, brakes, transmission?

    It definitely needs a new set of wheels, and it would be nice if the tires were at least the stock size. If I would do suspension work it would be lowered a but with my current driveway situation that's impossible (dirt + holes). Brakes I probably won't upgrade until it gets faster. I would like to change it to a 5 speed but my tranny has low miles so it will probably stay for a while.

    So if you couldn't tell, I'm at a standstill with it for the most part. I want to keep it but if I get the chance to get more of a project that's a little older I probably would go for it

  4. He's active on a few forums, he pops into grandamgt.com once in awhile, I know he's still on fullthrottlev6.com as well. forced_firebird is his username...I honestly forget if he's on this site.

    Full Throttle V6 is a great forum for V6 F-bodies, and anything GM V6 powered really. I learned quite a bit about GM V6s in general from that forum. Haven't logged on there in a long time, though.

    I am actually a member of full throttle v6, just haven't been on there in ages. I stick mostly on the Camaro and firebird forum, Camaro Zone. I'll have to check out full throttle again though
  5. Best bang for your buck could be bolt ons and a top swap.

    WOT-Tech is a good source for 60*V6 parts, the owner is an awesome machinist and loves GM V6s and BMW engines. He's down in Flordia and is an amateur circuit racer.

    I'll definitely have to check it out

    welcome to FP!

    Thanks!
  6. It's just my slow daily driver for right now but I'm buying another car. After that I have no idea where I'm going with it mechanically. Everybody does v8 swaps with them so I was thinking a turbo v6 but I have no idea yet

  7. I liked the purple, but I like blue more. Also the notorious clear coat peel of the 90's hit this car pretty bad. It sat in the sun 2 owners back with a blown motor. It's previous owner also kept it outside, and same with myself. Here's a picture of it the day I bought it:
