I figured some people here could really appreciate this bird. The background story is that I gave my wife a catalog of basically every car made in the last 50 years and told her to find the one she liked the most and we would make it happen. She came to me a few days later and said she wanted a 3rd gen camaro or firebird. We went to some local shows and she settled on a pre 91 firebird formula. I did not want MAF, she did not want the newer front ends, which meant it had to be a 1990 model. I know how rare these are because I had to scour the internet for months to find a low mileage one. We bought it off of Third Gen Ranch for $9000 with 32,000 miles on it. I regret to say that we put 9,000 more miles on it since we bought it in Jan, 2010. However its annual mileage will never be that high again. Once we got it home we went to town and the car really cleaned up very well.

Despite all my efforts, I cant post any pics on this forum today, so here is a link:

Plans for the car? Well 3 main stages of upgrades, already under way.

Stage 1, some of which it had when we bought it: adjmustable pressure regulator, set at 55psi, SLP siamesed runners, ported upper intake. (Might have ported base too for all I know) Dynomax ultraflow muffler. As for the chassis, TDS inner frame rail sub frame connectors, BMR outer frame rail Sub Frame Connectors, BMR Strut Tower Brace, BMR Steering Brace, UMI Torque Arm Relocation Kit.

Stage 2- almost complete Crane Gold 1.6 Roller Rockers, Custom Cold Air Kit/Ram Air, 25%Underdrive Crankshaft Pulley, Air Foil, LS1 Aluminum Driveshaft

Stage 3 -Parts bought, not yet installed. Hedman Long Tubes, Jet-Hot Coated(black), Dynomax high flow cats. Custom Tune Chip. May also do 2.73 rear end for better highway mileage. (This car is our road trip car, my Monte SS is our speedy car)

Also upgraded the radio deck to a Kenwood MP3 player, Kenwood Excelon 6 3/4" sail panel speakers, and a JBL 8" woofer in the rear with a Crunch amp.
