Hey so there’s this small KZfaqr. I don’t know him personally or really at all but I know he’s working on cars and loves barn finds because of you. He is currently working on a 1975 trans am firebird. Before he decided to do KZfaq he worked on the car with his father. His father later sadly committed suicide. Even though he doesn’t know me I know his channel and he has my condolences. After the passing of his father he started the KZfaq channel and has been working on the car. Even though I don’t really know him I think he deserves more support for what he’s been through. His KZfaq channel is named midnightTA. Even though you’ll probably never see this I still thought that I should let you know.

Fun stereo fact: It's actually very common to have no rear speakers in Sound Quality builds. It is much harder to have a proper sound stage when the audio is also coming from behind you. Subs are fine anywhere basically because bass isn't directional, but speakers actually can worsen the sound quality if the placement isn't good.

The hp difference between regular and non ram air hoods ( Trans-Am vs WS6 or firehawk and z28 vs SS dont get the extra hp from the hood. the hp is derived from the exhaust and if u have a modified raised airbox or an slp lid ( some came factory) thats where intake adds power. But. They look cool. As does a spoiler that dont do much except hang on and maybe add a few pounds during max speed run.

The 4th gens started in the early 90's. As late as 2001 they were talking about changing the looks of the Trans Am because, as then VP Bob Lutz said, "A friend of mine said the Trans Am looks like a school yard bully that wants to take your lunch. It looks too mean." Which shows you how out of touch parts of GM were, but I think GM was always waffling back and forth about the life of the 4th gens. During the same talk at the 2001 Grand Prix Gathering, Lutz also said they were going to make an LS1 powered AWD Grand Prix "...because we can." The next year they had the prototype for it...but it never got produced.

Sold that so my wife could get a new SUV for her and the kids and picked up a 1993 Formula that I did a 98+ front end conversion with a WS6 hood and T/A hatch. Snagged a 73 Formula from the original owner and am restoring that with my dad. Still have the 93 and 73. Love these F-Bodies, I will always have at least one in the garage!

Alex, the WS6 also came with wider rims/tires. The Ram Air is functional, especially if you live somewhere where there's little rain (I'm in Vegas) and you cut out the rain baffles. Those rain baffles keep the air filter dry by catching the water and sending it out little drain holes. I used a dremel to remove them and you could see my K&N filter through the hood. BTW, the SS and the WS6 hoods are completely different. The SS isn't a straight shot no matter what you do. It's just a fresh air intake. My buddy and I put a vacuum gauge on my airbox after removing the baffles and there was less vacuum in the box at high speeds with the engine at the same rpm and load, according to HP Tuners datalog.

That thing under hood was a wireless immobilizer for the Directed alarm system. When you armed the alarm it sent a signal to a module that was usually connected to the fuel pump or starter circuit. This way if you were trying to steal the car you couldn’t just trace the disable wire from the alarm directly to a relay that was tapped in somewhere and bypass it how most systems are done.

The car is gorgeous. I'm with you that color combo was my favorite. 16 year old me had dealer broucher photos on my wall of a WS6 of that combo. Never ended up getting one, but had 2 95 Camaro's. One was a sad 3.4 and the other a Z28. Both manual's. Probably shouldn't have bought the z28, it was a 225k mile oil leaking basket case. No matter how much I fixed more things popped up, but I learned a lot from it and also how not to buy used cars lol.

The WS6 or the Firehawk is my bucket list car. That "last of the breed" glue residue looks like the Black Panther head. I've done some "ricey" stuff... Straight pipe, fire extinguisher on the A-pillar, huge race car-like stickers, shifting an automatic transmission like a manual, clear tail lights, (2) 15" subs in a compact car, yellow wire loom and longer radiator deflector under the car. I was bad.

Alex actually prefer stock looking vehicles so In my humble opinion I think what you are doing is perfectly fine. And, its cool your inc all the aftermarket acc that your removing. Back in the day I built an 88 Monte Carlo SS with a 383 Stroker small block and kept it all factory stock inside and outside. I surprised many a Fox body 5.0 Mustang owner with that car. A sleeper SS. Enjoy your videos! Say hello to Peter!

Makes me miss my '99 Camaro RS in Navy Metallic Blue with T-tops that I had. Agonised for weeks over which color to order back then and finally landed on the blue and was so happy that I did. Only had the V6 in it but with the 6 speed it was pretty sporty. Loved that car. Great job on the WS6. Always loved the front end of these too.

I had a black 2001 Firebird Formula. I bought it slightly used in 2003, and I loved that car. One really stupid thing about the F-body Firebirds though is they used a nylon worm gear to drive the pop-up headlights. Those tend to wear out, and when they do, it's stupid loud. You can find some metal replacements though. Great job sprucing up this Trans Am! Had I seen this video sooner, I may have bought it.

As I was watching, I noticed you talking about how potentially bad it could be to have bad wired amps. I bought a nonrunning Acura Integra once due to an electrical problem. Come to find it when they removed the amps/subs from the trunk, they didn't remove the power wire from the battery. When I removed that wire. It started right up and actually ran pretty good

Nice TA you are rescuing. Good to see the after market parts flying off of that one. I like them close to stock. I have a 2002 Formula in the same navy blue metallic. I was happy to find one with only one mod, a Flowmaster cat back and I added an SLP lid. Oh, and it has aftermarket C6 Z06 copy wheels...and only 55,000 miles. 4th Gen F bodies rule...! This one is my second. Good channel guys.
