welcome, good intro. with the firebird, you would be suprised how quick you can get them with not a ton invested. I have a 96 3.8 bird with a cam, intake, exaust, converter and and 4.10 gears running 13's (which by the way, both the motor and tranny in the car will be for sale shortly)
Thanks Pontiacfreak142, the 3800 series is hands down a great motor. And as you’ve seen first hand there IS power to be made out of those motors. But I’m getting sick of getting hated on by our big V8 brothers.
Welcome...by the time you've stayed long enough your name will be Fbody4life lolHaha this may end up being true. Seems like there are a lot of F-body guys here which is great! I might end up taking Habitual Sinner’s advise and go LSX!

What size turbo on the Eclipse?
mensan, I have a Turbonetics 50 trim T3-T4 hybrid turbo. It does the job. I could have gone a lot bigger with the engine mods I have done, but I didn’t want to wait any longer for spool time
Welcome, Joe. It sounds as though you're a real enthusiast--owning, working on, flipping cars. Lots of guys here into that and also many of us enjoy shooting and bikes.I hope to see you at some of our track days and meets.
Doc, thanks for the warm welcome. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one moding in Columbus. I found this site a few months ago and was so excited when I did because hopefully now I’ll be about to see what everyone is doing with their cars. ( cruising the streets just hasn’t been yielding much, so maybe CR will!)
I’m planning on some of those track days doc! I’m hoping to make some new friends that share the same love for cars as I have.
Sounds like you'll fit in around here. I tried linking some of the photos from fquick in here, but my HTML skills suck.Thanks LT1Rick, let me see what I can do. Maybe I’ll have better luck, fingers crossed!
One of the better Noob intro's I've seen in a long time. Welcome.Hahaha! Thanks mallard, I saw some of my fellow noob intro’s and I wasn’t overly impressed with them. Seemed like none of them actually read the “before you post” thread.

Hey everyone, my name is Joe. I just turned 19 in February and just started taking classes at OSU. I’m studying Mechanical Engineering and also thinking about studying some business management. I like a variety of toys from guns to cars; anything that goes boom or has a motor it is interesting to me. I currently own three cars and a bike, here’s some info:
2000 Pontiac V6 Firebird (my DD)
Only bolt-ons here. Intake, full exhaust, chip, stereo, and some suspension work. Got the car when I was 16, back then I wanted to autoX it; that’s why I have a lot of suspension mods. But I soon realized that it would take a lot of money to make it remotely fast.
1992 Toyota V6 Camry
Bone stock! I flip cars and this is my current investment.
2005 Honda Shadow 750cc
Just got this last summer, it’s my first bike and I love it. My dad has a VTX1300 so I wanted something similar to cruise around with him on. It’s not the fastest bike by any means but it’s great for cruising Ohio’s country roads. And I’ll be honest cruisers aren’t my favorite; but I needed to start on something slower before I aim for my dream bike, a CBR 1000.
1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS
This has been my little project over the past two years or so. It still needs a LOT of work to get it right. But all great things take time… and money haha. I won’t go into too much detail here but I basically pulled the motor, rebuilt it and the tranny, and then boosted it. It’s nothing too special, 325hp at the wheels on 14lbs. of boost. I just got the motor broken in so now I can turn up the boost.
I’m still working on some reasonable pictures. But for now feel free to look at some pictures I have of my Eclipse and Firebird on my FQuick.

I’m a nooby here, and I get that. But I’m not some one who’s going to open a new thread saying “hi.”, or asking a question that’s been answered time and time again. I’m open for comments here so let me know what you think. I’ll get some pics. up here shortly so everyone doesn’t have to go to my FQuick.
Happy driving!
