Nice. It’s a good looking fox body. I like the LX more than the GT. Fun little toy and would run even better with your LS in it. Hint hint.

Nah, I got an auto. Took me awhile to find one. Didn't want a stick.

Nothing shifts faster than an automatic. You don’t see the top racers running a manual transmission.
I wanna put a sequential shifter in my firebird when I upgrade the transmission guts and add a dual disk clutch.
A true sequential gear box is about $10k and they’re loud, sounds like a noise rear diff with wrong pinion backlash and bearings going out.

Check this out. You use this shifter and you know you’re out in your toy playing around. Give me another long lever for applying the rear brakes to drift and I’d black out the windows and take the plates off.

I bought a complete steering column with steering wheel and key. It has the factory steering wheel controls. Mine doesn't. It's just an LS model. Would it be better to swap out the entire column in my 03? Would I run into any passkey issues causing it to not start? Or could I get away with doing just the steering wheel--with the controls, along with the correct clockspring? I did get the complete column including the column harness. I'm just interested in getting into the options that it'll give me.

Just changed the oil in the stinkin' Hoe. Don't remember when it was done last. Also drained the catch can. Last time it was done was probably 4 years ago, so it was 1/2 full. Not bad, right?! Yeah, been slacking some.

BTW--I calculated the mpg. Comes out to 11.7 mpg, which considering it's all local streets with ac on 1/2 the time isn't terrible for what it is.
