i had a few mods in it..rain racing tires, (huge traction improvement)

centerforce dual friction clutch, hypertech programmer, SLP stainless straight pipe exhaust, larger y-pipe with high flow cat, cool air intake, hotchkiss strut tower brace (big reduction in body roll and handling improvement) deck and speakers replaced, and amp hidden behind the spare tire. also retrofitted HID bulbs inside those sealed beams (24hr process)

I got my 95 Trans Am for $600 with a bad input bearing on the T56. The LT1 isn't a bad engine at all and as long as you buy an AC Delco opti you won't have a lot of problems with that. How it looked when I got it.


Right after paint.



How it sits on C5 wheels after lowered.


Jkeaton what are you doing for suspension? So far I've got Strano springs, Bilstein's, SFC's, STB, adj torque arm, adjustable PHB, poly everything, boxed LCA's. Handles like it's on rails .

Slowly right now cause that **** is expensive....so far I've gone through all the sway bar bushings (prothane), end inks, strut tower brace, new KYB shocks. New front upper and lower ball joints, had to put a new steering rack on it. Eventually tubular control arms, and replacing all the various "bars" in the rear end. Not sure about adjustable ones though. Dont see the need for the added expense.

Adjustables are worth it IMO- especially if you're going to lower it at all. Adj torque arm lets you set the pinion angle and the adj phb allows you to center the rear end. If you lower the car without the adj phb the rear end will move over to the side. The more it's lowered the more obvious it is. Keep an eye out on LS1tech for used ones. They pop up all the time.

no i havent. still cant seem to get it running right, though i have driven it once. it seems to be flooding the cylinders with fuel but i cant be certain. I am trying to sell it now as is for $1000, which sucks cause i got $1500 into it now.

Guy fell through on his offer for my 3/4 ton. I dont get it. Why call me and ask me to drop $500 of my asking price and then tell me he will come get it if he is not serious. I moved things around, cleaned it out, and rushed home from work to meet him and then he cant even show up.

Because a lot of people are inconsiderate and stupid. I've gotten to the point to not go out of my way at all when selling something because it seems half the time they don't show up. I let them know when is good for me. If they want it they can work around my schedule.

Or he found something he liked better. Sucks that he didn't let you know he wasn't coming though. Good luck with the '95, and the sale.
