This is a little cross posting from some of the other forums I'm on. I think I know a few people that are on here that have M90 cars and Joyof6 who has terrorized the local strip with his cars...when they were still open I've owned the car since Dec. 2002, rebuilt/modded it at about 135K miles, I'm now at around 153K miles.
Anywho, I like to get the information out there and documented because too many people in our community just do their stuff without a whole lot of info on what went on. It goes like:
"Picture of my car before."
"Magic happens!" *Virgin sacrifice not included*
"Picture of my car after with 500 hp more!" :lol:
Figured I'd post this on here so some members know who I am, what I'm doing and why in the world is this a thread about me modifying a V6 Firebird!?
