Default Some New Pics of the TA...the other one!!!

Since my SOM WS6 is down waiting for some pieces to get back I spent a little time cleaning the red-headed step child today. This is my wifes car and honestly it gets neglected compared to the other one, but it still cleans up pretty good (especialy for 10 year old paint.)

The wheels are the 18x9.5s Y2Ks I had on the other car before I got the CCWs for it. The CETA is charcoal. Performance wise its pretty stock it has a SLP lid, MSD wires, a Flowmaster cat-back and drilled and slotted rotors. I am doing Stranos and KYB AGXs on the orange car, so I am going to put the stock springs and shocks off of it on this car (28,000 miles vs 127,000 miles). I do plan to get a hood for it when I find a deal on one. Other than that its just a DD!

Actually they are black...but yeah they are factory black emblems not overlays (those are overlays on the front bird and rear letters though.) I actually like overlays better than the entire badges being black but they were on there when we got it.

Oh yeah, and the filler panel is a CETA filler panel not a overlay or sticker. I had it on my car but the silver didnt look right on SOM, but it couldn't look any better on her car.

Yeah, there is quite a few hand me downs on it! She ran the factory WS6 rims off my car on it for a couple months. LOL

Soon she will have hand me downs shocks and springs...and proably a hand me down LS6 intake.

It just sits too high now with the 19in CCWs...plus I figured out my trailer issue. Its not like I am slamming...with the 1.25 in Stranos and the 19s it will actually only be about a half in lower than it was to start with.

Its good for robbing parts off of to send off to be chromed! lol Actually I have 3 Firebirds now...the 2 4th Gens and a 87 Formula. I have had quite a few over the years.

Also I just bought a real nice 89 Corvette Convertible (L98/6spd) yesterday...but I think I am just going to resell it or trade it for another Firebird or Camaro for me to DD and sell my Jeep (anybody with a f-body in nice "driver" condition want a Vette???)
