Exclamation > A Foreboding Epoch Emanates from the Darkness... Rebirth of this Phoenix Commences!

*** NOTE: I am a member on so many forums, that it is a pain in the ***... or better to say finger tip, lol, to retype my updates in each one, so I try to make it generic enough for a cut and paste so it does not read too funny, but there may at times be forum specific info in it at times

On to the Good stuff...

Well good news guys!

Thanks to GTFORMULA I will be picking up a 99% complete M6 setup this week or next, the only thing I am told that is needed is the pedal assembly and the center console. It is from a 2002 SS Camaro with less that 50K miles IIRC.

I am also picking up a front bumper cap. As you guys will find out a long the way, I like CUSTOM, lol... The nose is a rare piece called a TFT forced Induction bumper, I also seen it called an Evolution E-1 bumper. Thanks 69TA!!! Below is a pic


I have talked with FSTLS1TA regarding the M6 swap and he seems more than willing to help me out since he has done these swaps, but does anyone know if there is a write up on this with Pretty Pictures and all , lol? I will do a search again, but I did not see one...

As for the progress of the Rebirth, I will try to keep everything here. Feel free to follow along and ask questions, give advice or voice your thoughts and opinions


My new bumper that is on it way... It does not include the lights... I am into Xtreeeem Customizing, but I don't think I would do those lights :p


*** NOTE*** This is NOT my car, just a pic showing you the bumper I am buying!!! Sorry for any confusion...

Well things are coming along bit by bit. Thanks to GTFORMULA for the M6 setup, now all I need are the Pedal Assembly and the Center Console.

My TFT bumper (see black T/A above for pic of said bumper) should be on its way soon - Thanks 69TA

And my VFN 4" Ram Air hood should be here soon as well - Thanks Jomomma


Here is a pic of the VFN Hood!






And here is another car with the TFT FI bumper! Mmmmmm.... SEX!








BTW, does anyone know who's Bird that is? I really like the Tonneau Cover and Light Bar setup!

Well I will return the favor and find empathy for your shallow and illiterate mind. Next time I will create a title that a 1st grader will appreciate as well as yourself.

FIY - It is spelt "embarrassed," but I will not mention how "embarassed" I fell for you.

I rarely make spelling errors, but that's not as bad as using words you don't understand out of context... Give it a rest. Good luck with your Xtreem customizing, I'm sure it will blur the lines between devils mentor and village idiot...

You mean FYI?

and I believe its "along the way", not "a long the way"... now that we are critiquing each others posts....

Regardless of grammar, if you do anything... please leave the freaking shift key alone! You don't need to capitalize every other word... its improper... but you knew that, didn't you?

You know what!? I have decided to keep the thread on topic and clean it up. If you have an issues with the English language then grab yourself a dictionary, as well as a thesaurus and expand your vocabulary.

Before I was 19 years old, I had my first A.S. so I truly doubt that there is much you can "skool" me on.

Now... Stay the hell out of my thread(s)!

I hope you plan on putting some FI on that car if your going to have that bumper, IMO it looks to much like rice with that wire mesh but looks good with an intercooler behind it.
