You guys need to go the 18th so I can race against ya!
^^^^^ Until now..... I thought that was a Grand Prix GXP.....
Nope, G8 GT. 6.0L of fury.
Should be running a mid-low 13
^^^ That thing stock still.... or have ya already started to do things to it?
Those are FWD arnt they?
Well the Buick is fixed.... the damn strut pulled right through the strut mount WTF? I've never seen or even heard of that happening.
God that rear single leaf spring suspension sucks.... Im sore as hell now.

Its not stock. So far I have an intake, catback, ECM/TCM tune. I should be right around 400hp at the crank, or about 340whp.
Its RWD.
I'm expecting mid-low 13's.
^^^^ Sweet...... we need more RWD cars.....
It's a nice looking car.... although it would be better with 2 less doors
I love my fire..... but sometimes I wonder if I should give up on modding it and use that money for a Trans Am or something. But knowing me.... I'll never give up LOL.
just an update. i'll be bowling a tourney regardless, but the weather is looking like cold and rainy this weekend.
87 Firebird
All stock...........lol.
An apdate for me too...
To be honest.... theres less than a 10% chance I'm gunna make it.. (weather regardless)
Although my Buick is having problems... I was still going to try to fix it Saturday, or at least take by bike...... but.....
Although I cant go get the trans parts from negligence now.... theres a chance I can get a trans for the Sunfire at a local salvage yard this weekend. And if that happens.... I'm going to be doing a tranny swap instead.
I gues there's always the chance I could have it together by Saturday night if everything goes perfect.... but I doupt its gunna happen.
So this is somewhat of the list that I got...
1. ihavenolife000
2. blucav
3. jon turbo grand am
4. rollie785
5. RyZ96
6. Mythod
7. Weebel (doubtful)
8. 94 Project Bird (maybe)
Do I have this right? Or whats everyone's plans?
I just checked the weather, it just changed that its now 40% chance of rain with a high of 50... Gonna be cold and crappy out. But I'm still going

http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=41&i=29896&t=29896 cut that piece of the sub frame and your life will be soooo much easier ok.
Ya gary I thought of that already.... my dad has a sawsall ready to go... I dont remember exactly what I need to cut but Im sure Ill find out when I go to pull the tranny.
You might as well take me off the list
I have to work this Saturday evening, so I have to get up early go get a $500 salvage yard trans (assuming they still have it and I can justify the spending) through it in the trunk of the Buick and go to work.... then on sunday I have to go to the parts store and get a rear hub assembly for the Buick (getting really bad now) and swap that out. Assuming there is a TOB in the salvage yard tranny (there should be but you never know) I'm looking at at least $600 I have to spend on cars in the next 2 days. And if there isnt a TOB in the trans.... a new one costs $214.... god damn I'm getting tired of fixing things..... just think of what all this money could buy in performance parts (or be saved for a YZFR1)
