1984 S/E Firebird HO
_______________________________________________________________________________________
This is my every day car, its a wolf in sheeps clothing.
LIMO tints on top of factory tints all round
slightly worked Trans-Am GTA LT-1 v8 engine.
GTA sway bar and other suspension parts,
16" T/A GTA rims wearing 245/45's at back and 225/45's up front, zero offset at the back.
Limited slip dif.
The gold is a '83GM color.
Electric fan fitted (huge difference to how this car runs, believe it...warms up faster, and runs when cold with no problems)
dropped and heavy-duty gas shocks added.
Black leather interior,
Power windows, power locks, power seat
T-top roof with all new rubbers.
Nice hardcore alarm fitted.
JVC Chameleon head unit (the perfect stereo for the 84 dash board style).

I live in New Zealand, but have always loved american cars 100%.
Trans-am's were always dream cars to me (and to other people round the world!)
I love 2ndGEN Trans-AM's as well as alot of classic american cars, mostly big luxo road boats like caddy's and lincolns.
I've got to say this, the 3rd GEN f-bodies handle really well, they are really impressive, I think they are very well designed.
almost every thing in/on this car is new/rebuilt. New glass, rubbers, interior, rebuilt engine and clutch, new shocks, new brakes, new hoses and radiator, new seat-belts, new fuel pump, new alternator and starter motor, new paint etc etc etc...
For those of you who don't know, these are big cars for a sporty coupe, at just under 5metres long and 1.5 wide they are bigger than most full size family cars on the road here, but can out handle most smaller modern cars, and if you like to drift you can!
The interior has very good ergonomics even by todays standards. The car was very advanced design wise in its day because it had to last around ten years from when it was released, before any major re-design.
Its been a very reliable and fun every day runner, but I do recommend that if you buy one and you don't want to fully rebuild it... get one that is a low-mile good condition example, spend a bit more for the right one.
If you have a T-TOP 3rd Gen like this then here is a tip:
Reguarding the T-TOPS on these fbodies leaking, if the rubbers are ok then you must make sure the two ends of the black strip down the middle on the out side of the roof are 100% sealed, not even a pin hole.
If the rubbers are good then thats the only place it can leak from.
Thanks for checking out my 'bird.

We all know that certain car makers from certain countries like to copy other car-makers, sometimes people don't even notice! check what happens if you just enlarge the cabin on a NSX:
