Well "new" to me at least //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Paid 3500 for it.. Runs good but needs LIM gasket and coolant elbow.. Gonna start off this week by doing a complete upper gasket kit ( LIM , supercharger, manifold, valve cover etc ) Then gonna put on some new Heavy duty Drive axles and rebuild the ****** with a ZZP shift kit.. , after the drivetrain is done, work will be done on the motor, the S?C , intercooler, injectors, ignition and PCM .. Hoping to run hi 12s in my 4 door "family wagon" daily driver //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

M90 powered? I had a TBird Super Coupe that was super fun. I am not convinced on those front wheel drive M90 cars though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Takes all the fun away IMO.

yea this is the one I was trying to get the double din for .. A friend of mine has a GTP with the same motor.( pic and vid below ) . He did a ton of work into his, so were gonna do a slightly 'tamer' version on mine.. as long as I can run 12s and still get 25 mpg Ill be happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Not gonna happen bro, unless he has some super secret way to get good mileage and still be fast. My TBird got like 26 mpg and was almost stock. I ran 14.6 as my best time. My buddy has a somewhat built GTP that runs mid 13s and he told me the best mileage he has seen since the upgrades is 23 mpg in an all highway trip across country. He said he normally gets around 20 or less with normal driving

clean bonneville!

not bad for 10 yrs old and seeing Minnesota winters.. 2 minor rust spots , one on the inside of the trunk lid and one in the gas tank.. A few little barely visible dents, but for the most part pretty nice.. took me about 4 hrs of cleaning the car, then had to go to work, so I couldnt clean the interior, so the Meguires detailer will be out this weekend while its up on jacks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I drove the GTP I talked about up there ^ and a 99 Regal GS, and neither had the fun and excitement of my tbird. The GTP was way quicker, but being able to throw the *** end out at 35 in my t bird takes the cake for sure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

stock , before all the gaskets get replaced on the hwy I was averaging 32.. in town , not to heavy on the foot, about 22

Like I said.. Even if I put 10K TOTAL into the car ( including the car with audio, motor, ******, axles, suspension, rims, tint, body work etc etc ) Ill at least have a fun , clean car to drive on the 10 nice days a year we get up here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
