Hey guys,

Just passed inspection!
1997 Firebird Y87 5spd
Hey guys,
just starting some kind of a build thread,
bought a few days ago a 97 bird with the 3.8 , Y87 code, black with grey interiors, t-top and manual tranny.
i love it, but it needs major works,
i already left it in a body shop because the previous owner hit a pole coming out of a corner (yup he spun, and he hugghed the pole with a door...).
it has some rust all over the under carriage.
interiors are in pieces, i need a lot of interior parts (gonna open a thread soon) starting from the upper part of the dash (the one that faces the windshiels, to sun visors, radio, ebrake bezel, radio and so on.
i also need to do a full tune up with new fluids.
only mod is the alluminum DS
if you want to follow me on youtube this is my channel (no bird yet on it)

hi guys,
a pic of the remainings of the elbow and a pic of my older pcv, i replaced it with a newer one a couple of nights back.
hoping to get a little improvement in oil consumption.

Hi,
just before you think bad things about me lol
keep in mind that i've never done any drugs in my life, never been drunk (i'm actually sober since forever), i don't even eat sweets because i'm fit lol.
i try those speed tests very rarely and on "private" roads with walls on both sides during night time with no one around.
good tires and good brakes are a must.
the only rear risk is tu hurt myslef, but i've been living with it since i was borne lol
(always like extreme sports).
now i'm into the red zone quarantine area though...can't even work on my car in my own garage.
i've never been so sad in my life...i lost interest in a lot of stuff
the bird is been sitting for a while now
edit: forgot the most important thing, i'm always alone in my car while spirited driving. zero passegners, not even my closest friends. if i have my gf in my car i'm below the speed limits, i'll do couple of donuts at the most.
