Default 3rd Gen start-up vid as promised

Alright guys,

Here is a short clip of a start-up and a little rev. I decided to clean out the garage so the car was coming out anyways.

The quality isn't too hot. I used my sisters camera to shoot the video.


I've been having serious alternator bracket problems. I've been shredding belts like it's my day job, so I have another bracket in the mail right now.

The video is short, due to no belt on the water pump, but as soon as I get these problems ironed out, I will have a longer, better quality video. Maybe even a couple fly-bys.

Cold start up. Hasn't been started in approx. 3 weeks.



Enjoy guys, and thanks for the patience.

Very nice car you have there, sounds good too. I have a blue 92 firebird as well only without T-tops and has a V-6, it's waiting for me to drop a LSX into it. I'm not sure what it is about 3rd gens but they look damn good.

Those are wheels that came on the car when I bought it two years ago. For some reason the previous owner thought they looked good??

In the process of picking out the right combo of wheel/tire as we speak.

As you can probably tell, traction is an issue with those.

Sweet, you need to check out Kaufman. They are building some nice heads. Some that replicate RAV and some Hemi heads. And some replacement parts.

http://www.krepower.com/


Just ordered some parts from them last night. Easy to talk to people up there.
