  • 1995 firebird formula m6 project thread

    So I've been watching this very clean 95 formula forever on craigslist.
    Went from 2500$ down to 2000$.. well I decided I'd go check it out.

    So I did. And to my surprise it was a 1995 bright red formula 6SPEED t top
    Car with 100k (I'm the 3rd owner) in the passenger seat there's a brand
    New center force stage 3 racing clutch (box was empty, already installed)

    Guy says it needs a starter and that it won't start. Says its been sitting
    For over a year and hasn't ran. So we give it a little push start.

    I drop the clutch. And it starts right up and idles. No smoke. No ticks
    No knocks. Perfect oil pressure. (Cold 40 psi warm 40 psi) rev the engine
    Psi shoots to 80. Push in the clutch and brakes pop..... blew a front line.

    So I open the hood expecting dirt grime and filth..... little did I know
    This engine is so clean I could eat off it....

    Went thru all gears without a peep.... I ended up grabbing the car for..........

    1050$ yup you read it right a 95 firebird formula 6 speed t top car with
    100k miles for a little over a grand...

    Needs a starter (have one)
    Brake line and flush (have and can do)
    And a cat back. (Dumped at the rear axle)

    Will post pics asap.

                  Thanks guys. I'm in too much pain today to do anything to it.
                  So looks like I'm sitting on the sidelines watching my buddy do it.

                  Sucks. Get a new toy and can't even mess with it.

                              Thanks guys. Replaced the leaky brake line. Bled the brakes in the front 3 times on each side
                              Car stops like a dream. Better then my z28

                              Its got a cracked plug on #7 cyl so it has a miss. And could possibly
                              Not even be firing on that cyl.

                              I laid down a nice 100ft patch of rubber with it. First time around the block
                              First time I got on it from a roll it hit the rev I grabbed 2nd it went
                              A little sideways hit the rev again I then grabbed 3rd barked the tires
                              And took off. Had it up to 90 in secs
