Default Resurrection

Hello to all of you here at LS1 Tech. My name is Jason, I live in So. Indiana. The reason I have titled this "Resurrection" is because almost 3 weeks ago I "Rose from the Import scene" and traded my Mitsubishi Eclipse for a 2002 Trans-Am WS-6. It's probably the wisest decision I've ever made. I threw all kinds of money at that Eclipse and still didn't have even half the car that I've got now. And my TA is bone stock. I've spent the last few weeks on the net looking at what I would like to do with my TA and with winter fast approaching, money will be saved to introduce an Improved TA next spring. My car is a black 2002 TA WS-6, Six speed of course. I would appreciate any help/advice that you all could give me on how to make my "Bird" fly. Any info that you could give me on mods that have worked out for you would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Welcome to the site

And good choice of cars for resurrection.

If you are considering driving the car in snow I highly recommend all season tires or winter tires if you have summer tires. Otherwise, have fun modding.

Not to be a jerk, but the first mod thread has been discussed at length, many a times. The highlighted portion of SpeedDreaming's post is the most important. Very nice choice in cars, if I do say so myself(read that as: I have the exact same car).

Welcome! And Congrats on the "Upgrade". You definately want to check out the stuff on here by JRP, like Jerami's SuperFAQ For Commonly Asked Questions under New LS1 Owner/Enthusiast section. There are some great general info items in this and other threads like it. Another good source that I have found to be is Install University. Lastly, when modding one thing I have found to be an overlooked mod put off till last (well at least by myself) is suspension mods. This I will be working on this winter. Good Luck and Happy Modding!
