G10 was a blast -lots of cool cars! These shots are of my newly polished GMMG, and the new 18x8/18x10 American Racing TT2s.

Default color

thanks...I get a lot of "what color was it originally?". I've been told, but forget the number of sunfire yellow hardtop formulas built in 93, but it is less than 200, and I've only seen 1 other one ever.

I used to have a '85 Camaro Berlinetta that color. Although this is not a Berlinetta, it looked similar to this one.

Default springs

well...what you see in the pics are Hyperco Hypercoils in front and stock springs in back. For whatever reason, when I put in the rear bilsteins, they sat lower causing those big 315/30-18s to scrub. I had to pop the rear stockers in for clearance. I don't like having mis-matched springs, but until I get the custom aluminum spring spacer made for the back -this is how I roll!

Is it giving the car a bad ride the way it's set up? I'm thinking save the dollars on the spacers if it ain't, the Poncho is lookin righteous as is. JMHO.

the car rides just fine w/ this set-up. The bilsteins keep the stockers from being too mushy.

The only place I know to find the Hyperco's is www.hawksthirdgenparts.com

The tag...yeah, everything straight forward was taken, so I was hoping for the "chik" ending LOL!!!

Thanks for the complements. I've really enjoyed the car. Its a blast.

Oh...and the Fikses. I was on a mission to put them back on the car. However, when I really looked into it I found that I could get these custom ordered 18" TT2s and tires for less than used Fikses.

The offset: see post below

Alan, great looking car man. I am Jamie's friend with the red WS6. Dude, you won, but I can't remember what. I won first place in my class! I was so excited. I put a lot of work into the car, but I wasn't expecting to get first place. I was placed into the Firebird Modified class.

Here is a picture of my car. It is the red one...
