New from Pittsburgh. Hey im new here from Pittsburgh. I drive a 1996 Pontiac Firebird Formula M6. Im 18 this is my first car got it when i was 17 (with my own money not mommy and daddys). I bought it in March of 08 it needed a clutch. Kept it stock for a couple months threw a Magnaflow and a CAI on it. Then the madness started Pro 5.0 shifter, 160 thermostat, grantanelli fuel pump, cags delete mod, TB bypass, GM fuel pump, electric cutout, UMI torque arm, UMI lower control arms, kyb shocks ,and struts. Then the 105,xxx mile motor blew up on me
. So i found a 15,xxxx documented motor for $2000. Put that in and forgot to replace the pilot bering bearing drove like that for two months destroyed a brand new clutch pressure plate flywheel and fork.... So now i have a new clutch in it and im saving up for headers ,cam (and supporting mods) and a good tune. I just recently took it to the track and ran a 14.0 @ 100 first time ever down the 1320.
Here it is when i got it all stock and wrecked.
The "old" motor.
