This is what the car looks like to date with the new rims/tires and the windows tinted with a new muffler/tail pipe section.

The rims are off of a later model GTA and the tires are 245/50/16 BF Goodrich Comp T/A

The muffler and tailpipes are Magnaflow done by a local shop in Tonawanda, NY called Muffler Man.

This is an engine I picked up for $200. It's a 350 5.7L out of a '91 Suburban with only 20k miles on it. Call that a deal. We took it apart to make sure everything was ok with it and painted the block while we had it apart. The heads are getting re-done and hopefully I'll have it in the car next weekend.

Tell me what you think or if you have any advice or tips, please let me know. Always looking for suggestions.

I just put a UMI Performance rear setup in. It consists of tubular control arms, tubular panhard bar, heavy duty torque arm, and subframe connectors. All these components have Poly bushings with new hardware. I also replaced the springs with eibach for a stiffer ride.

I also had the tranny re-done. It is a 700r4 overdrive tranny and I had a new torque converter put in, a customized shift kit so it shifts really hard, and high energy bands and clutch pack. This thing shifts like crazy and really breaks loose going into 2nd.

FOR SALE, e-mail me if interested: rscalfani26@yahoo.com
