if i were you i would fix the firebird. it's soon to be a classic, and nothing can compare with pure american muscle. I mean the have torgue, and stay on the road better than hondas. And btw the aftermarket support for that car is huge.
If u decide to keep the teg rebuild and turbo it.

What kind of condition is the firebird in. What does it need done before it will drive well (not mods)?

Nothing but a new engine! only thing is it lacks some of the comforts of my teg . power windows power door locks the ac/heater is not up to par paint has some problems interior needs some work i just dont know i look at it and see what it could be then realize what it IS! it's just so frustrating cause for the cost of the engine and install on the bird i could probally switch the teg to 5-speed get i/e save up the rest for pistons,rods,thicker head gasket and a turbo kit but thats ALOT of work either way im lookin at a lot of work but with the bird i wont have car payments and can save up money for a car in the future like a ss maro or somthing of that nature but *** all this car crap is starting to confuse me!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o me wanna |

well you dont want either of the cars forever, you said yourself you want something else in a while. so if the FB is cheaper to keep, go with that. no car payments? a plus since you can save that money for yourself. id get rid of the teg if i were you.

If you are getting another car anyway, don't keep paying on the Teg when you don't have to. Spend the minimum you have to on the bird and just drive that until you can get your camero.

well we have a new contender in the arena Make teg a show car!!!! i figure why not? its got a good looking body with 1200 i could get a good audio start but i will probaly fix the bird a small sacrifice with out the power stuff to get a REAL car in the future im also considering the latest gen Accord i think its 5th but im not sure. I think they are pretty sweet you know a phat looking ride wtih Honda reliability. And i am going into the car audio business so that would be a great show car. so it seems like i will get a new deck for the bird G O D i hope they have a wiring harness for it and replace the back 6x9's and jus ttake it as is tell i can get a new car what do you guys say to that? hell i might just take a cheaper engine or rebuild the old one that way i already have money set a side! hmmm things are starting to look up now!!! |

Sounds good. I probably wouldn't make the Teg a show car... too much money down the drain + payments.
The latest Accord is the 6th Gen FYI. I guess the 7th gen will come out late this year. The 6th gen would make a nice car, but if I was going to buy a new car, I'd get something faster and with more potential.

Maybe he prefers Accords . A V6 accord is not so unpowered like the 4 bangers 200hp with 196 ft/lbs of torque. Maybe the 7th gen will compete with maxima's and altimas. Also i heard from a friend of mine who's friend works for honda that a new accords will get h22a (yes the prelude engine so no more swaps)

that would be sweet but if i do get a 6th gen accord it wouldn't be for speed it would be a dily driven show car with a few tricks hidden up its sleeve **cough** turbo **cough** ** cough** Nitrous** but i wouldn't know if i should get the v6 or the ex 5 speed?? well maybe the 7th gen will have a powerful 5 SPEED but who knows |

Honda ans Subaru in their infinite stupidity don't put a 5 speed on a V6. Hopefully Honda will get smarter this year. As for turbo and nitrous they are not real mods. Stickers are they add hp seriously
