    oh im going to ;) hehe, it will be easy compared to this mitsu motor. My evo project will be on hold, But this galant will just stay my daily driver ;) hehe, Firebird will be the track ride. Its about 50 % restored, Mainly the engine, and he threw a cheap ass paint job. Needs redone. But other than that... Im thinkin a slver and black 2 tone with some nice 16' chromes. Interior needs redone, And im on that ;) finaly get to put my skills to the test ! :)

    was left at one of my dads houses. he had to have the guy evicted. And the guy came back and broke a buncha stuff, and took all his crap, loaded up his 67 firebird, and bailed. Left his blue one and a buncha other stuff

    So im having a friend impound it, and go threw all the legal crap, itll be mine in 30 days ;)

    nice nice. will probably be easier to mount since it has more room in the engine bay then the galant

    are you serious? if you turbo it that thing would be a freakin monster!!!! i hope that turbo is big enough so that you don't accidentally spool it on the street! that would be scary!

    ummm. just want you to know you should have saved your money and spent it on a better one. not to put you down for buying a turbo but it looks like an ebay turbo which i imagine was really cheap and you got a good deal on it but take it apart and check out how its built compared to an actual garret or turbonetics turbo and you will see why it wont last. plus with the badass motor that you have now it just wont put up with anything cheaply built. it would behove you to get at least a t-67. make certain you do your research on turboing big cars like that because when they get into boost its not fun unless you know how to control it because just getting off the gas wont be enough ya know. have fun though it looks like the beginning to something really nasty!!!

    its not a dual ball bearing turbo or nothing fancy, but it will run 20 lbs of boost. 16 all day long, spool time is a bit on the downside, I bought this to put it onto my galant.

    ( takes a little modificiation to work )

    But i dont think im going down that road.

    If anything id like to throw a small TDO4 on my G something with little boost, that spools fast. But im still so unsure of EXACTLY what i would need to do the conversion. And i think first of all, i need a 5 spd ;)

    i should have the firebird up and running buy sptring. Got alot to finsih on it, the whole dash and wiring is all tore into. But other than that, she is good to go. I was lookin at a Roots supercharger. But i think i will just still to good old Carburation. I dont need nothing thats going to be to crazy. Plus the cost of gas nowadays shit, I just want a nice beefey classic to cruist in the cruise's and a nice daily driver ;)

    No matter how nice the firebird is, the Galant will always be my hobie car, and my daily driver. I have learned and praticed everything on her. i will utalize everything i have leanred from my galant in restoring this firebird into prestine condition ;) that will make 60 and 70 year old men drool and idolize me ;)

    1968 Firebird. FTW !
