Re: Lets see some Houston Area Thirdgens!

they are c5 magnesiums, painted a dark bronze, 17x8.5 w/ 1.75" spacer up front 18x9.5 w/ 2" spacer out back. I'm not a fan of how spacers look so I'm considereing trading them for some correct fitment drag oriented wheels but I really like the mags look so I am torn

Re: Lets see some Houston Area Thirdgens!
Nothing special for sure, but I did start fixing it up recently. Just got my ACC carpet in and am installing a full set of 2005 GTO Black leather seats. Just started on the seats yesterday. I am modifying the seat frame of the rears so they will actually fit in there correctly. I'll do a write up on it in case anyone is interested. Also getting black lace wheels (gold?) and tires, transam hood and painting it in the next couple of months.

I have already changed out the 305 tbi to rebuilt 350 TPI from an IROC. Cut no wires - repinned everything. Flattops and a small comp cam. Going to get an MSD and headers and call it good on that front. 5 Speed from bird STILL holding up, rearend and complete suspension from donor IROC. Frontend is new from steering box to the wheel bearings.

I have worked 30+ man hours on the car since that pic was taken and its STILL not ready to fire, but all it needs is a new o2 sensor screwed in, the trans filled with fluid, and some coolant!

Re: Lets see some Houston Area Thirdgens!
One of ours. It's our C Prepared autocross car. I have to find pictures of our 92 B4C, but it's still awaiting a restoration, so the paint is post-DPS-service-get-it-sold-blue.

Re: Lets see some Houston Area Thirdgens!
And our Ex-TxDPS 92 B4C 1LE RS. It still looks rough, but is a true joy to drive. It was road raced shortly and has taken a trophy at the SCCA Solo Nationals in it's past.
Re: Lets see some Houston Area Thirdgens!
No recent photos. Should have it back on the road in the next couple of months.
gbeaird - did you buy that from a guy in Lake Jackson?
