Spent a little time with the 'Bird today...

[Mr. Luos]

Not sure I like this...going to re-do them soon.
I want to repaint them and get a different color lettering. These are a reflective silver...but the pic makes them look white.


Then I pulled some dead weight out.
I will be pulling the front passenger seat before racing next. And un-cap the exhaust.







Also changed the plugs. Went with TR6's this time to see how they do. .045"

So since the hood was up...I figured I would take some pics of my factory LS7 Trans Am.





And of course....

I was thinking of doing a little weight loss myself, should I take out all the plastic interior pieces in addition to the the back seat or do you think it will look like crap and not be worth it?

[9t8z28]

Cool!
How is your grass so green? WTF, you should see my lawn!

[Mr. Luos]

The way I see it...if I can put it back in easily, it is fair game.
I left the plastic pieces though. Looked bad without them and they don't weigh much.



My grass??? Vigaro weed and feed spray stuff.
That hasn't even been watered until tonight.

I never realized Firebirds had map holders behind the seat

More needless weight...

[Zboner]

those seats weigh about 10 lbs

[Mr. Luos]

True.

I think I took out about 85-90 pounds today. Seat belts aren't that light...and that damn spare is as heavy as my TTII's.

[Zboner]

yea that thing does have some weight in it, mine is gone

[snaggeltooth]

I like the factoryLS7

yeah i'm kinda in limbo, if I should lose the spare or not.

[joerockhead]

DId you do this ALL by yourself? or did someone help you??

I think I know the Vette in the last pic.

Hell, I spent the day doing yard work, cleaning up trees that fell over the winter and walking the dogs, and more yard work.
(i did take a nap too! )

[Mr. Luos]

DId you do this ALL by yourself? or did someone help you??

Just me.
Plug change is cake...maybe an hour if I focus on it. Pulling the seats was maybe 45 minutes, calipers was maybe an hour lining them up.

Did a little lawn work as well. Mowed the front, watered, etc...

And yeah...might know the Vette owner.

I will walk the dogs tomorrow.
