I turned the key and she fired right up. Preparing to pull it outta the garage to bring the truck in for some work.

Then I'll be yanking the motor for my long overdue rebuild/stroke/head/cam job.

Seems a shame to be pulling apart such a well running engine but it does have 200K on the clock and I doubt it can squeeze out even 310 HP-far too low for me.

Ordered Tires today, time to get rid of these BFGoodrich Traction T/A tires (pretty ironic to name it TRACTION considering how it is on wet roads).

That's kind of sad - why the last drive?

As for myself: Getting punked by a Civic with a huge turbo on the way to work.

Completely stock TA btw.

Swapped from a TCI converter to a Yank SS3600.
And after the first drive, ..., I'm sure it'll be much more 'fun', ...


Did both door panel staple removal a couple weeks ago.
Next, ..., prep for the storage unit.

I drove it to work, haha! Not a pic from today, but from a week or so ago parked next to my best friend's / boss' 2002 WS6 at work.





People think it's rare enough to see a nice LS1 Trans Am around here, but when two in a row are coming at them they really pay attention!

It's getting cold, and this time of the year it rains a lot... the forecast is calling for snow in the next couple of weeks. I only bring it out when it's nice out.

Drove it in the snow. I <3 Blizzaks, they make me not hate life during the winter. I still need to get some sandbags though.

I drove it the snow once last year and said never again in this car, did better then I thought it would but never again.

Still waiting on my F'in tires, they where supposed to get here thursday but some tard at the UPS place in Doraville didn't unload them off the truck and tracking said it would be delayed one business day, then nothing on friday and finally saturday afternoon they where rescheduled for TUESDAY, really what the hell UPS, I need my tires, with this damn near nonstop rain of the last week my current tires have next to no traction.

I'm used to it. Every winter since I have started driving has been done in a RWD V8.

First couple of years was my dad's 04 F-150 before I had my own car.
Then my L98 powered 88 Trans Am GTA with bald rear all-seasons
Then my 93 Z28 also with bald rear all-seasons
Now my 99 Trans Am with new snow tires!

Lol. That silver is forgiving, you really couldn't tell unless you ran your hands over it. I absolutely love that car, put 4K miles on it since I bought it from you.

car got all jerky when accelerating then the check engine light blinked a couple times and came on solid, used Torque to scan the code and got a P0303 - Misfire on cyl # 3. So I guess it's finally time to get it in the shop and get those plugs and wires installed that I bought last year, still got the stock manifolds on it and I don't have the time to do it myself when having to fight them at every turn.
