Re: Post your firebird pics
I have a garage haha. It just makes you appreciate a day like today even more. 77, sun, beautiful. The only reason I'm in the house is I'm waiting for the gf to get home so we can go to a cruise!

Re: Post your firebird pics
Irocs do look really good on birds.....but IDK, just knowing it's a camaro wheel turns me off of them. I LOVE the look of black GTA wheels on a bird though....the golds are nice too, but black GTA's are my fav all the way! (for stockers that is)

Re: Post your firebird pics
My '87 I just got a few months ago, it looks light in the front end, cause, well, there was no motor in it when we got it. Took these pics before I changed the back hatch. It's been sitting in my garage for the past month or so, because me and my stepdad don't know jack about TPI, haha.

Re: Post your firebird pics
Got another update on my wheels. This is the 3rd update, first was early may, then mid june, now late july/early august. I had my brother photoshop them on my car. The front tires are smaller than normal so that's why it looks like there is so much wheels gap but the rear looks awesome. Also supposed to be a 35 series tire. They are supposed to look like 18s.

My 12,995 original miles Trans Am. I'm trying to give us third geners a good name by going to car shows and parades. But, that **** is always rigged to give the typical cars trophies.

Re: Post your firebird pics
Thanks. You don't know what's a feeling drive this car in my country, everybody is looking like it's NLO So many of them think that's Ferrari, and when I say Pontiac, they say OK, but I saw on their faces that never heard that before

Re: Post your firebird pics

Re: Post your firebird pics
Those are King wheels from some BMW, 8.5J ET13 front and 10J ET20 rear, with 245/45/17 and 285/40/17 tyres, everything fit perfect without spacers.
There will be some interior pictures, but at this moment car is very dirty because of many works on the car
Next step is front brake upgrade (I have already bought all the parts for LS1 swap ) , with stock breaks I almost couldn't stop the car. Stock brakes are very bad

Re: Post your firebird pics
You might want to check your filler neck on your gas tank for cracks. When I swapped out my fuel pump for my LS1 swap I found that mine was cracked and I was losing gas because of it. Just a thought.
