Finally...(no relation to fidget's thread!)

[88FormulaChick]

Went to Deleware to look at a 2001 black on black WS6 Ram Air M6 ttop trans am today. Its only downfall is 94,xxx miles on it, but the car does not physically show it...typical little teenie pinhole leak on the rear in the seal...no biggie, drives fine, everything was good. If anything, its going to need a driver side window motor soon. again, no big deal. headlight motors recently replaced, brand new brakes all around. So i put a deposit on it today, and the formula is sale pending to dravenblackbird and the 4th gen 3.8L auto is officially for sale and needs to go ASAP.

so, liz is upgrading to a LS1 biznitches!!!! mwahahahhaha!!!:twisted:

[Savage_Messiah]

which rear seal? Dunno what you mean by a typical leak unless you mean the rear main seal. Other downfall is the whole everyone and their grandma havng a black on black ws6 but what can ya do.... :-P


Good luck with it

[88FormulaChick]

rear "pinion", right between the pumpkin and the rest of the rear...just a matter of replacing the gasket/RTV

[Ian]

rear main, right between the pumpkin and the rest of the rear...just a matter of replacing the gasket/RTV

:scratch:

you mean the rear differential is leaking?

[WildBillyT]

It's a rear pinion seal. It's not a "main" anything... :D

[Savage_Messiah]

Do yourself a favor, pick up a set of 4.10s and an install kit and have Josh put em in

[88FormulaChick]

i plan to. these have the 2.73's stock right? or somethin to that effect... (keep in mind its almost 4am and i cant think of numbers off the top of my head...)

[Mike]

3.42

[88FormulaChick]

thanks

[bubba428]

congrats....LS1 FTW!

[SteveR]

Congrats! Sounds like a nice ride 8)

[ryanfx]

sounds good to me.. I guess I'm a lil partial though =D

[88FormulaChick]

haha, hey twin! no, ive always wanted a black on black 98-02 WS6 ram air M6 trans am...and i finally found her at a affordable price.

[Savage_Messiah]

Isn't "WS6" and "Ram Air" in reference to ls1 T/As a little redundant?

[88FormulaChick]

possibly. dont be hating though.

[Rich189]

3.42

3.23's actually i think.... the m6's had 3.42's and the base ta's had 2.73's

[bubba428]

the V6s all came with 3.23s the V8s came with 3.42 the SS and WS6 may have had 3.73s depending on if they were ordered that way

[WildBillyT]

SS and WS6 may have had 3.73s depending on if they were ordered that way

Where did you hear about this?:idea:

[bubba428]

I meant a "ordered for customer" car...not a dealer ad on

[WildBillyT]

Huh? Are you talking about a special RPO or something?

mike's right, 3.42s :-D




and 3.73s were not a 4th gen f body option, no "special orders"

[Savage_Messiah]

the V6s all came with 3.23s the V8s came with 3.42 the SS and WS6 may have had 3.73s depending on if they were ordered that way
..... no?

[V]

MANY v6s came with 3.42s

[Savage_Messiah]

You really think I don't know Y87s?? I was "no"-ing the 3.73s, ive always herd they never came stock (on a 4th gen at least)

And thinking about my previous statement.... taking into account the points brounght up on EPFBA.... pick up some 2.73s, not 4.10s :-D

[88FormulaChick]

so the guy called today, he needs me to pick it up tomorrow. So i just called USAA and got my own insurance so i could register it in my name. I've never had my own insurance before and they made it easy as cake...only $115 a month or so. So i'll have her by tomorrow afternoon :) yayy!!

my parents are going to love me having the formula (until draven picks it up), the 84, my 2000 bird (until i sell it) and now my 01 trans am. I guess its a good thing rick isnt moving his 93 Z28 to my house this saturday anymore...i think my parents would kill me having 5 fbodies lol.

[bubba428]

i think you officially a collector lol

[88FormulaChick]

yea, seriously. my mom just bitched at me saying one car needs to live on the street now..it was assumed previously on my end...but she felt the need to chew me out anyways...oh well lol

[bubba428]

AHHHHH not the street!!!!! I have bad memories about the parking street....poor rear veiw... that was the 1st time it broke.

[FBODS4EVER]

good deal, good luck with it.....

[Savage_Messiah]

yea, seriously. my mom just bitched at me saying one car needs to live on the street now..it was assumed previously on my end...but she felt the need to chew me out anyways...oh well lol

say "sure mom!" and park that prius thing in the street.... preferably in the middle of the street. Perpendicular to traffic. :lol:

[88FormulaChick]

haha seriously fidget..i actually layed across the driveway when she tried to pull it in after bringing it home from the dealership...i didnt move for like 20 minutes...it was funny...then she brought out the threats so i moved...

[Savage_Messiah]

shouldnt have moved, thats a sign of weakness and lack of conviction. If she runs you over, you win in the end!

[Demonicbird00]

good luck w/it hope u get it !!!!

-brandon

[88FormulaChick]

brandon...read the entire thread next time. i brought her home yesterday lol. and im slowly but surely learning to drive the 6 speed...all is going well so far though.

[Brando56894]

:w00t: congrats lizz! i wanted a black on originally but i feel theyre too common now, i wanna get an SOM or bright red LS1 WS6

the V6s all came with 3.23s the V8s came with 3.42 the SS and WS6 may have had 3.73s depending on if they were ordered that way

try again bubba, both of mine have 3.42s

haha seriously fidget..i actually layed across the driveway when she tried to pull it in after bringing it home from the dealership...i didnt move for like 20 minutes...it was funny...then she brought out the threats so i moved...

hahahaha nice

how would she win in the end? she would be dead and the car would be in the driveway :confused:

[Demonicbird00]

:orlyflag: :oops:
congrats

[CJDZ24_Z28]

COngrats! I remember the feeling of not knowing how to drive a M6 lol. Post up some pics when you can!! Also don't worry about the mileage. If the car was maintained properly you will have no problems. My 98 Ta has 137,500 on it and my SS has 65,300 on it and haven't had any problems.

Also for all the wrong info in this thread. Every single 4th gen came with 2:73's,3:23's and all M6's came with 3:42's. The way to check and see if you have 2:73's or 3:23's is the codes in your glovebox 93-97 or drivers side door build code tag 98-02. RPO GU2 is the 2.73 rear (2-series) and GU5 is the 3.23 rear (3-series)

[Demonicbird00]

:jake:

i had GU6 (3.42s) in my 97 W68 Firebird v6 my buddy also had the 3.42s in his 00 firebird

No no no no no.

First off 93-96 are in the glovebox, 97-02 were on the door. With that straightened out, my car came with 3.08s open (RPO GU4). Other (auto) v6's with the Y87 package/RPO came with 3.42s (GU6) / LSD (G80). Also all the (500 or so?) 95 3.8s got open 3.42s. 5-speed cars I believe got 3.23s (GU5).

First off about the glovebox,you are absolutely right. Also very right about the V6 stuff!! Good Call! I just wanted to post the facts about the V8 cars. Out of the 11 F-Bodies I owned only one was a V6 and i only had it for 10 months and i was 18 back then:)

[Savage_Messiah]

Ah gotcha, I don't know the v8 stuff, so now i guess it's all sorted out. :cheers:
