    Am I messed up for this?

    I don't plan on selling it... It is going to be my new DD so I can really put the firebird under the knife (paint, t56, major port work). This will probably end up getting some mods, I will def drop a 5 speed in it when I am home next. I just feel bad because I have had 4 buddies try to get it...

    Am I messed up for this?

    So I bought a CLEAN 5.0 off a guy I knew from highschool, and he had been off and on about selling it for a while. So I wait and keep shooting him the same lowball offer. Well, I come home for a bit of leave and shoot him the same offer and he bites. So I take the car for a week to take a look...

    My 88 Mustang GT project thread

    Looking good... One good thing about living in California is I don't have to deal with rust! My STI here in Japan has rust and it bugs the crap out of me. :( I am only here for another year and I will be deployed for 6 of them, so I am not sure if I am going to attempt fixing the rust.

    Boost = dipstick being pushed out

    I had the same issue on my 25k miles SBC. Did a compression check and found low compression in 2 cylinders. Tore it apart and pull the rings off and 3 of the pistons fell apart. I literally thought I got :poo:ty gaskets and chased replacing gaskets due to a ton of different oil leaks popping up...

    Income Tax Return Spent Before I Even Got It

    Fail... Instead of spending all the money on labor, why don't you ride your bike for a while, and buy a set of tools. I am sure you must know somebody you can borrow a jack and ramps from. If not, maybe you should go buy a civic. I can understand if you work and ton, don't have time to do it...

    Confession- I used to be a ricer...

    I started out with my Firebird (still have), then had a 94 Caprice 9C1 (sold), then a 90 Mustang GT (still have)... I then got forced into a world of imports or I guess they are domestics here... I got stationed in Japan. Boy do I miss my v8's... I have gone through 3 cars here already. 95...

    Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

    I like mine too, just tired of destroying them... I might do one more temp 700r4 to get some good 1/4 runs in and to get me by till I return stateside in a few years... But in reality, it will be getting a t56 one of these days.

    Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

    Yeah, the visibility isn't the greatest in these cars, and they have a very long nose on them... Other than that, how are you liking the auto? With my old cam, I was neck and neck with an auto ls1 camaro from a roll. I destroyed him from a dig though. I was impressed, they are no joke from a roll.

    Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

    I said a lot of time YOU can out drive them as in people in the forums... All I have to do is get a good launch and keep it on the floor... when I get some time in the states a 6 speed will be going in. I am tired of going through Automatics... Anyways, where are the pictures of your ride? How...

    Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

    My car wasn't running too great in that video... A lot of the time you can just out drive them. My car comes off the line pretty hard for a Daily Driver with daily used drag radials... drove 100 miles to the track cutting 1.8's. And yes, I would say around 320 to the ground without the low...

    Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

    Huh, I usually don't have a problem with them. People don't know how to drive... This run was with low compression in 3 cylinders... after I pulled the rings off, 3 of the pistons fell apart. So while I was at it, I added a bigger cam. Yes, this was in eliminations, and yes, I broke out...

    Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

    Doesn't matter anyway... Ls1's are slow turds... I smoked one with my stock 94 9C1 Caprice daily driver.

    Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

    It's mainly the T-top cars that have leaks... so that is kinda a biased opinion because most of the T-top fox bodies or ones with sun roofs leak just as bad. Both F bodies and Fox Bodies have crappy interiors. Mustangs have crappy front seats, F bodies have crappy dash pads. Both cars have...
