2000 Firebird Formula Clone 6.0, Ls3 Heads, Full-length X-pipe With Magnaflows on 2040-cars
Schertz, Texas, United States
|
The car was originally a V6 firebird. The donor car was a 99 formula that i had owned since 2007. The conversion was done in April 2013. I bought it from the original owner. The undercarriage has zero rust. I'm selling it because of the common situation of having kids and not having time for the car anymore.
Engine: The longblock is an 01/02 LQ4 6.0L with approximately 30k miles on it. The heads and intake are from a 2010 camaro with .040" Cometic head gaskets and ARP head bolts. The cam is a Comp 226/230 .598.600 114LSA with Patriot dual springs, FAST 39# injectors, LS2 timing chain, Melling high pressure oil pump, aftermarket lid with K&N filter(comes with spare filter), Comtech 90mm TB, LS2 MAF, Pacesetter long tube headers, 3" X-pipe with V-bands, dynomax bullets in the middle, tail pipes under the axle, Magnaflowish 4x9x14 mufflers and Borla 4.5" single tips. Cruise control module is included but needs to be wired up due to differences in wiring harness. Comes with LC-1 wideband O2 sensor setup(not installed). The car isn't bad on the street, but it definitely needs to be tuned to maximize power and efficiency. It also has a brand new oil pan gasket. Transmission/Rear-end: junk yard 4L60e with unknown mileage, huge B&M cooler, custom TCI 3200 stall(tight on the street, but gets into the power band when needed), corvette servo, poly trans mount, steel drive shaft, Auburn posi, 3.23's. Chassis/Suspension: Eibach Prokit, BMR front sway bar, BMR strut tower brace, BMR welded subframe connectors, BMR chromoly rear control arms, BMR adjustable panhard bar, poly lower control arm bushings, The rear airbags have the valve stems run through the bottom license plate holes. The rear sway bar is included but wont fit with current exhaust setup. The rack&pinion has a brand new seal kit in it. The front hub assemblies are fairly new. The tires are falken 275/40/17's with about 30% tread left. Interior/Electronics: The gauge cluster from the donor car has 150k miles, but the body itself actually has closer to 170k miles. The upper dash panel is brand new. I kept the cloth seats, because they're more comfortable than leather during Texas summers, and the driver's seat also has angle adjustment. I deleted the ash tray, but it needs to be repainted again due to the filler shrinking. The deck is a JVC with an external input for iPods, etc. The factory speakers are still in the car, but i'm including the Boston Acoustics 6.5's i had in the old car. The subwoofer is a powered Bazooka 10", which is run with RCA cables and has a volume knob on the side of the center console. The headliner has a couple of tears in it from when i fit an assembled bowflex inside the car with the hatch closed. The passenger visor was missing when i got the car, and it never bothered me. The console lid needs to be replaced or re-glued. The passenger T-top/door seal needs to be replaced, because it leaks during really bad rain storms. The antenna has been removed, because the gear was stripped, and i never used the radio anyway. The door panels have the typical cracks on the top. Body/Exterior: The car is in over-all excellent cosmetic condition for its age. It comes with the front filler panel with the bird on it, but the license plate is still underneath. the front bumper has a few touch-up spots. the quarter panels have a few dings and scratches. the paint on the side moldings is starting to fade... i would just remove them if i were keeping the car. the passenger taillamp has a hairline crack, but it has no moisture in it. The wheels are factory 01/02 WS6 speedline wheels. Anti-theft/Keyless entry: The body control module, airbag inflator module and ignition key pellet were transferred from the donor car as well. This means there are no malfunction indicator lamps illuminated on the dash, because all the modules are still synced with each other. It also allows the vehicle anti-theft system(VATS), keyless entry, and factory alarm from the donor car to be fully functional. HVAC: The A/C compressor, orifice tube, and accumulator are all brand new. So the A/C is very cold. The heater also works very well. In my opinion, these are both absolute necessities for a daily driver in South Texas. On Dec-16-13 at 09:18:11 PST, seller added the following information: The car was originally a V6 firebird. The

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k
Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
