Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?

I've had three. I still own two.

1987 Trans-AM, T-Top, LB9, A4 (SOLD)
1987 Trans-AM, T-Top, LG4, A4
1985 Trans-AM, T-Top, LB9, A4

I only intended to buy the second 1987 Trans-AM and work on that one. Then I ended up looking for parts cars and found the 1985 car. They both need some work, quite a bit in some areas, but they are definitely worth saving. So now instead of one restoration/modding project, I've got two. The 1987 car will probably get restored to near factory original with a few enhancements. In the 195 car I'm going to go all out with an LSx/4L60E (possible supercharger/turbo system) with all new suspension.

This one's my first, definitely won't be my last though. When I actually get some money, I'd like to get an IROC, and maybe a t/a.

That is incredible! I guess I am a little suprised there isn't an LS1 in that car with all the wiring stuff you do in the LSX board. LOL

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?

I have a 5.3 going in once I find a power steering pump for the 92. My LO3 has 294,000 original miles that havent been the easiest. Its time for something new

Once the L98 lets go in the GTA, Ill do a 6.0 swap. It currently uses a LS1 PCM and was the reason I began researching wiring

Your running a LS1 PCM on the L98? How?

Batch fire? Sequential?

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?

Only had 2... An '84 Firebird S/E- 2.8L carb and the current '85 IROC 5.0 TPI. The Bird made me appreciate the Third Gen handling; the IROC is what I found while searching for a higher performing Pontiac... Drove it and had to have it! Still prefer the T/A styling, but love my ROC. Also have had second and third gen camaros, but they don't count here!

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?

3 -- Started with an 86 Firebird SE for my son... he bought it, wrecked it, gave it to me after I helped him restore an 87 Firebird that is now his daily driver... bought an 88 GTA that I plan to use as a nice weather daily driver. I have a disease... I never met a 3rd gen that I didn't want to own.

BTW, I also owned 2 first gen Camaros -- a 68 then a 69, which to this day was my all-time favorite car.
