WarShrike's Project Thread - V6 Firebird

A very common car built with very uncommon ideas and imagination. Way to go!!

Thanks for the comments guys. Took it to the local get together while doing a tuning run, still love how people ask me if it is a V8 and what's done to it. I point at the license plate and then they're like :o

BetterWithBoost, are you doing standing mile runs with that Camaro? Would love to take my car to something like that one day.

Yeah, we've been running the Camaro at Maxton since 2008. First year was mostly stock, ran in the 150's;
after that, the LS1/T56 came out for a turbo'd LQ4 backed with a Jerico RR4. Now runs 190's, hopefully in
the 2-0-0's very soon.

Taking speedlines to get powdercoated on monday. Gotta find some center caps for them, they're 70mm openings!

[WarShrike]

As promised! Need to get some lugnuts, center caps and valve stems. Probably going to run spacers to get them more flush with the body lines of the car (have ARP studs available, not looking forward to pulling rear axles)...Oh yeah and tires too!

Probably going to put the speedline spoke logo back on but in black this time. Unless I find some speedline center caps that fit, but these are going to require a 70mm back center cap. I can drop a 20oz can through the hub opening and not touch.

Is it bad that I imagined a large insect saying that in a menacing voice?

Waiting on center caps and speedline spoke logos.

Refinished a set manual trans pedal assembly as they were a bit rusty, so I bead blasted them at my dad's shop and repainted them in satin black. Will reassemble with a bit of assembly lube to make sure I have quiet pedal operation. Still need to find some pedal covers, but will probably just deal with the unfinished metal for starters.
