Thanks for the welcome everyone.

By the way I am only 18 and this is my second F-body. I had a stock 1993 Formula 6-speed for a first car at 16 and eventually scored a killer deal on this car, only $1600 because the kid had no clue why it lost spark. I had the MSD Opti rebuilt for $125 and they sent it back with a new cap and rotor, and the car fired right up. I did a few more personal touches to the car, and just recently finally got around to rebuilding the transmission because 3rd used to not engage and 4th ground, as well as reverse popped out.
So now $1800 later, and $1200 for the wheels and tires, I have a clean as car for dirt cheap that's putting out a little over 400hp (Not sure on exact number, he told me 430 but I will be dynoing it August 4th)

Not only can you be a regular poster but we have monthly meets if you wanted to come out. They are usually a load of fun

I'm definitely down for that! I'm tired of going to all the meets filled with turbo 4-bangers.. I always feel like an outcast (in a good way that is) but no one ever respects our cars until they see me launch it.

Hopefully I will be around for an event/meet soon. I'm leaving for college August 17th in Ohio.

The tires I put on the rear with the new wheels. Kumho Ecsta XS. I HIGHLY recommend these... My old federals didn't hook for **** and would just spin spin spin. These grab right from first gear like a bear.

LTB1ow- not at the moment, but ill take some. I've been slacking cleaning the engine so it's filthy, ill polish everything up and clean it and snap some shots.

Deadtrend- they were taken on top of "500 hill" or "the gap" in Centralia/frackville pa.


Me.fird- thanks! Me and my friends used to call my car the fireturd so I kinda thought it up and liked it haha.

Never tried drag radials so I couldn't tell you. I got those for a steal of $298 for the rear pair and love them. They're classified as an "autocross" tire.
