Talking New bird from Russia

Hi to all, been reading this forum for years, but only right now registered.So, I live in Moscow, yeah, right there where bears walk down the streets and where the most handsome girls live I'd like to introduse to u my car. It's very rare in Russia Pontiac Firebird, why rare u may say? Because most of people ride European cars like BMW, MB, Audi and all the rest with the displasement 1.4l-2.5l. In my honestopinion it's a displacement for a pack of juice or milk but not for an engine. The bird is 93 year with an lt1, been bought in a small town near Moscow, the previous owner was a soccer player, who died, and his mother sold us the car. It was in an horrorable condition, but my father and I did our best to make it move fast and look good enough. Fist of all been bought z06 wheels 17front and 18rear, all the suspension was replaced with energy suspension. Next was the interior- it's 95 trans am black leather, then the car was repainted in yellow lime, so all the kids in the streets smile when they see the car. Then the rear end died, so we bought the new one from trans am, tranny was also changed now it's Raptor 4l60, with stock stall, best formoving in Moscow traffic. Qa1 coilover kit single adjustable took its place to make the cornening better, but I don't remember the spring rate it's too firm, so thinking of changing them for smth more comfortable, but firm enough. The next move was changing the sound, so I've bought Alpine head unit cda9855r, amplifier Audison lrx 5600, Audison sr 1d, daxx r88 wires. Don't know what speakers to choose, but will do it soon. So, in Russia we've got enthusiast owners club of firebirds and camaros, forum,surely not so big as this one. It's a pity that most of those who live in US don't wanna talk to those who live outside the country, I'll do my best to make the gap between two continents smaller, at last in internet. Sorry for my English, didn't practice for a long time.

Well, thought about changing the rear bumper to Trans Am, but on the other side i like how Wings West body kit looks like. The roof is black mat, and i don't even think of painting it yellow. IMHO it looks great

Enough we count gas in litrs, not gallons. About 1.10$ per litr, so it's about 4.2$ for gallon. Europe pays much more for the gas, about 2$ for the litr.
