No relation, buy at your risk, but give me first dibs on some parts (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) . Heck of a deal for somebody to buy and part out or GRM 2010 challenge:
http://roadraceautox.com/showthread.php?t=28930 QUOTE 1990 Pontiac Firebird WS-6 package, T top car
Rebuilt L98 350, T5 transmission (only factory way to get a 5 speed was to have the 305 - this car was swapped to the 350, which is ESP legal) Lightweight Spec flywheel Current cat-less, straight pipe that dumps under car. Have a full SLP exhaust that bolts right up to the y-pipe. Emissions AIR pump is disconnected and manifold holes are plugged. I have a the "mexico only" factory delete pulley, but never put it on. Bilsteins 10 bolt 3.42 rear end, Torsen T2R (t2r installed in 07) Big WS6 front bar (36mm), 21mm rear Poly bushings (front control arms, tranny mount) Factory 16x8 wheels w/ 245 street tires 17x9.5 correct offset ROH wheels 17x11 ZR1 wheels, with massive adapters from Skulte Rod ended panhard bar Ground Control spring setup - weight jackers in the front, adjustment sleeves in the rear. Strano spec'd rates (750/150 I believe, maybe 125s) Interior is typical late 80s/early 90s GM crap - headliner is separating, dash is warping a bit, small interior pieces broken. Fenders are clearanced in the rear (slotted the lip and pounded it up in), front fenders are cut to allow the 17x11s to turn. This is no show car. Body is getting rougher, but it's perfect for a dedicated car. If I remember correctly, gauges aren't currently working, could be as dumb as a fuse. Car does not idle when warm. So, likely some sensor that comes in after closed loop activates. Closest offer to $2k. http://www.rickshank.com/firebird/autocross3.jpg - pic w/ 275/9.5s up front, 315/11s on the rear - 11s fit all around now. http://www.rickshank.com/firebird/autocross5.jpg Located near Pittsburgh, PA Contact - rickshank (-pissoff spammers- at -pissoff spammers-) gmail (d0t)com |

I think that's Pat's old car. I could be wrong. Pat?

That guy is local to me and and I know him. This car is priced cheap because he needs it gone, not because there are a hidden bunch of bugaboos with it. I have considered it more than once just because it is so cheap.

If I was close enough I would seriously consider buying that and selling my IROC. Why couldn't he be in IN or something a little closer... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

QUOTE (trackbird @ May 4 2010, 01:45 PM)  I think that's Pat's old car. I could be wrong. Pat? Yup, my old car. $2K is a steal, IMO. He bought it from me for a little more (IIRC), but it didn't have the T2R, weight jackers or the two sets of 17" wheels, among other things. I thought Rick was on here. ??? I know he posted it on another forum. Pat |

After I posted that I realized that Rick is a member here, you are correct.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Leave on a Friday, swing through Columbus and hang out at my place for the evening. Run to the Pittsburgh area on Sat and back to Columbus. Leave Sunday for Milwaukee. Piece of cake. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Howdy,
Yeah, Ricky is a good guy and straight shooter. He currently owns an EP Honda, a GP Honda, an ITA Neon, and this Firebird. He just needs it gone, he's not trying to hide anything. Mark |

I'd follow the link and try him that way (I forget his username on here). You might not have any luck with that post otherwise. Good luck! |

But watch out for his attack cats. |
