LTX Shootout 2010 In Car CAM, Badhawk vs Thunderchicken, then 5 other in car runs

alan — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:18:40 GMT

i had some guys crawling under the car to look at the exhaust. Basically its longtubes into 3" true duals joined by a 3" X pipe, then out single chamber flowmaster mufflers. I think its my favorite exhaust setup to date, and i've tried most of them. With the 28's i don't have clearance issues thus far w/ speed bumps or RR tracks, but on 26's i'd be in trouble probably. Listen for yourself...

1st, here's what losing by 2/10th looks like to BadHawk!!

2nd, here's 5 others including a third gen and a couple of Zs

Hi everyone! The names Joseph Shane Flynn.

I do a lot of videoing and, take a few pics, and own too many cars/projects! Look forward to start surfing LTX based forums again. Been a couple of years.

Feel free to check out my videos @ www.youtube.com/josephflynn007
I have a little over 2,400 videos and don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.

Pics? Just search my full name on Facebook.

Since this is a LTX based site I'll just post pics of my two LT1 Camaro's

The newest pick up. 1993 Z28 Automatic.

And the on going project that will never end. 1995 Z28 Camaro

Other rides are 1997 Cobra (Headache), 1995 Tercel (Been rice, been boost, now getting gutted and sprayed!), 1993 Tercel (Boosted), 2x 1992 Mazda Protege's (One wrecked, other is a headache), and a 1996 V6 Camaro (Bottle Whore).

Here's my old 1996 Z28 Auto. Sold it and hated myself for it since.

Well that sums it all up. Look forward to getting to know everyone!

98 BPM Firebird

Badbird_96 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:29:46 GMT

Ok so im trying to trade for a Bright Purple Metallic Firebird. Its kinda rough but i want it for a daily driver plus the rarity of the color is cool also. Its gonna need new front fenders, a nose, pass foglight, rear bumper cover, hood, and it has a dent in both rear quarters. It has tan cloth, ttops, and its an auto. The interior is ok but it needs cleaned badly and its stained pretty bad in some spots. It also has a cracked dashpad but that doesnt bother me as mine im my ws6 cracked a couple months ago. It has a waterleak somewhere. No water in oil so its not a headgasket or intake gasket. Im thinking its the waterpump. Also the heatercore apparently busted and they cut the heatercore lines and ran them together to bypass it so those hoses and all with have to be replaced. They also sold the cat off it so its basically open manifold cause they didnt put any pipe back in there. Im trying to trade my extra t56 with all the parts like the clutch etc. it has around 8000 miles on it as its a rebuilt one out of my formula. I found a 98 red firebird with the appearance package locally for $3100 that was in pretty good shape. No body damage etc. Im really interested in the car for the fact no one else around here will have one but i dont want to get ripped just because is rare and the guy jacks the price up to high. I found one on craigslist for $1800 not around here though and he said that was a better deal than he could give me. So i know he wants over $1800. So im wondering what would you give for the car?

where to get new opit?

SexyTransAm — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:04:59 GMT
