Nah its just bs I was upfront with him said I would buy it as I have always wanted a firebird so I got it as a project car but it was gonna be like headers a refreshed motor and super charger not just trying to keep her alive and the motor is probably fucked from how long the car has been running lean and him raging on it

if it was running lean, most likely the cat's done too ... at least if it been run that way (and hard) for extended periods ... or maybe the misfires and stuff are caused by the cat protection of the PCM?

I get two o2 sensors on friday with the socket and and headlight the only thing i dont have is a window motor. if any one has one of them that would be awesome. If the window goes up most of the way then like 4 in from the top it stops is that a regualtor or is it the motor? I just hope the o2 sensor fixes the lean problem in the bank one and the misfire. So i hope the two are caused by the same problem if its not then its time to look at that tune thats on the car. Ill run a retime o2 reading off the programmer and see what its pulling off the o2.

Are you running headers I wanna run kooks 1 3/4 header with a ory

I installed everything in 5 hours including doing both windows piece of piss. Now need to figure out the noise on cold start up. Oh and what the brake motors are because that have stress cracks all the way around the rotors on both sides of the fronts

Hey i am out of the Army and back in the states. The kid Josh bought the car from me prior to me Pcs'ing. Sad to know that the car has been destroyed. Th car is not a WS6 i had the the shipped over. Has lowering springs with bilsteins. the brakes are a c5 corvette conversion. you need 03-04 Z06 rotors. Car had a diablo tuner, short throw shifter, 410 gear kit from thunderracing. z06 clutch flywheel. It has been a year since i sold the car and it sucks to hear that something you work so hard on getting destroyed by a young kid. Hopefully you will have her back in shape. Sounds like it's in better hands. I loved that car and he promised me that if he ever sold it he would contact me first. and he charged you the same price he bought it from me for and beat the piss out of it. i can be reached via email at harleycolna @ yahoo.com

Does anyone know if this car is still in Germany? I have the VIN if that helps. I would love to have it back even in rough shape.
