Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** Awesome car man. I have seen a side view of it for a while and always wondered what it had in it and what all was done to it. Definitely lived up to my expectation. Awesome. |

Hey thanks for the appreciation guys! Means a lot to be recognized for the hard work put in. Yup, I remember seeing an s2000 at a dealer lot years ago. It was one of the first cars I'd ever seen with it. I went right into the parts dept and ordered one up. :lmao: The 4thgen TA console has two cig lighter plugs so I just removed the one right in front of the shifter and put it there. I remember reading somewhere that you run the key and the button in parallel so that you can use one or the other as you want? I think you also mentioned that the S2000 button doesn't come with the pigtail that you need to wire it in My question is do you have the wiring diagrams to fit this button? |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** That looks fantastic!! Congrats! |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** Wow I know I have told you before I liked your bird., but have I been sleeping?! when did you boost it? Now seeing a parts list I'm very impressed even more. Lots of the same things I would/will do. Which stb do you have? Getting ideas for when/if I get my motor. Do you think there is room for an engine cover with it? Specifically a 5th gen cover.(i know I know, but I have plans) |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** I would be proud to own that ride. Owner takes great care of it and its tastefully modded. Congrats. |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** Wow! Nice ride. |

I think you also mentioned that the S2000 button doesn't come with the pigtail that you need to wire it in My question is do you have the wiring diagrams to fit this button? Unfortunately, it has been quite a few years and a couple different hard drives so all my wiring diagrams from when I did the switch are long gone. However, now there are quite a few kits out there that come with correct pigtails, relays and wire to hook everything up correctly. Mine is wired so that I no longer have the "START" position using the key, just the button. Turn key to "ON" and hit the button. :)

Which stb do you have? Getting ideas for when/if I get my motor. Do you think there is room for an engine cover with it? Specifically a 5th gen cover.(i know I know, but I have plans) To be honest, I don't remember the name of the company that made the STB. I bought it used from a forum member, PAFORM350. I did some quick google'ing and it looks similar to an HP Motorsports version but mine has three bolt mounting to the strut towers and is a textured finish instead of smooth so I don't think I can be much help? Sorry dude. :( I have a set of c6 coil covers that I chopped up a bit so my cable TB and some misc brackets would fit under them and they fit with tons of room to spare. I don't know about a 5thgen cover though, don't those not cover the motor completely in the back? |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** They dont. However it may not be an issue for me. I want a factory "stealth" look by painting cover same as everything else and to hide ugly wires and piping. Another reason is to cover electronics. I plan on making my louvers functional but I need to keep elements off motor. The only other thing I'm looking at is Gto covers. Vette ones don't do much. Check my build thread! |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** Congrats! I've admired your Trans Am for some time. Sounds like its awsome to drive as well as awsome looking! Keep havin fun!!!! |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** Congrats man sick car. What did you do to get those Z06 Brakes on up front? Did you change anything on the rest of the brake system, Prop Valve, Booster, Master? |

The factory prop valve is gone, the front lines are T'd at full pressure and the rears have a wilwood adjustable prop valve plumbed in. Because of how small the rear brakes are in comparison (LS1s), the rear pressure is very close to full as well. Booster is factory and Master cylinder is a 4thgen unit, mainly to clean up the looks of the engine bay a bit. |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** That could possibly be one of the Nicest T/A's on the planet. I wish my 92' looked like that. |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** VERY nice ride! |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** One of the baddest Firebird convertible around!!! |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** BTW.... On the spacers what and where did you get them??? I bought Zo7 Black wheels from Hawk's but they don't offer spacers??? :( |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** Thanks! My spacers are ebay specials. I had planned to just run them with my original c5 wagon wheels and ditch them for properly fitted wheels later but these c6 wheels came to me cheap. And I've beat the snot out of the car on these spacers so I trust them. |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** congrats! How did the spoolin performance turbo headers work out? I'm trying to piece together some 5.3 turbo components, wondering how much custom/fab work is really required...or can i get away with buying pre-fabbed components? thanks! |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** They worked out okay. It's not an amazing fit. Very, very close on the PS pump pulley and I had to dimple the passenger side header for my passenger side high mount alternator. It's going to depend on what accessories you run. In one orientation you have clearance issues with the heater hose nipples off the water pump and the other PS pulley. I chose the PS pulley. :lmao: |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** I have to say .... I love the stance!!! The black diagonals on the driver side is a very nice touch as well! Wow!! |
Re: May 2013 COTM ** WINNER** Very Very clean car!! Did you use any spacers for the wheels to get the fitment? Those vette wheels look very clean! |
