Well, I'm planning on a High Flow CAT, 3.42 rears (+ LSD), still undecided on lowering the car - purely because the authorities over here have a love affair with speed bumps - the air dam already scrapes the floor!
Keeping an eye out for either a complete set of leather seats - or a re-trimming package.
Still toying with the idea of a post-98 body panel swap.
Bear in mind though, that f-body parts are rather rare here in good ole blighty ;)96 Teal Firebird<br />Colchester, Essex, UK<br /><a href=\"http://www.centrestage.free-online.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">www.centrestage.free-online.co.uk</a>

I bought another 3rd gen. I have completely stripped it:
Third Bird
I will be installing a roll cage and make a subframe for it while cutting a lot of metal out for weight reduction.
I have two choices for engines. I was planning on finishing the 3.4L. It would get a larger roller cam, bored .030 over, forged rods, and a different intake. Or my brother has a built 3800 lying around that he wants to put in the car. It was built to handle 15 psi plus a 150 shot. He has a turbo kit for it but it was meant for a FWD application (GTP) so some modifying would be needed. The block was originally out of a 2001 Firebird. The 3800 would bolt up to the T5 I already have so it would be fun. I'm just not sure what I want to do yet.

Random Technology 3" Downpipe with Hi-Flow CAT, 3.4" pulley for my supercharger.
I have a '02 airbox and F-Duct sitting here waiting to be gutted and wrapped with reflectix and a 99-03 K&N Panel Filter en-route. Gotta get a coolant overflow bottle to relocate the current one.
