2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ws6 on 2040-cars
Pueblo, Colorado, United States
Up for sale is a 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ws6 with ram air and the basic bolt ons. I bought it stock from the second owner of the car and has always been a Colorado car. Never in any accidents and very straight with minimal signs of wear. The paint is in excellent condition. The car has low miles with 84000. I have put the bolt-ons on the car around 81000 miles. They include the Slp catback exhaust system version 2, Pacesetter long tube headers, Pacesetter off road y-pipe, Eibach sportline lowering springs, Volant intake, and Kyb adjustable shocks. I purchased the parts all brand new with receipts and had the parts put on by a shop here locally named RMCR. They specialize in Ls1 platform builds so they know what they're doing when it comes to doing aftermarket parts for these cars. The car runs a little rich due to the catalytic converters being taken off. It runs and drives great just the gas mileage suffers a little. I usually get around 20 mpg combined. The exhaust not on this car is probably the best sounding car I've ever owned. It's not obnoxiously loud but you can hear that Ls1 rumble. The transmission shifts smooth and the clutch grabs great. I always let the car warm up before driving it and I never beat on the car because I have a bike for that. I drive this car like a grandma most of the time. Everything works great including the air conditioning, power steering, power locks, power windows, power driver side seat, cruise control, traction control with a flip of the switch, and the heater works great. T-tops are one of the coolest parts of these cars. The driver side one only leaks a little when you go to power wash the car but when driving in the rain there is no leaking. The tires are in great condition along with the battery. Starts up every time and drives great. No leaks or smoking what so ever. I always change the oil at 3000 miles and I changed the coolant to regular because the orange coolant causes head gaskets to go bad. I changed the coolant around 3000 miles ago and I completely flushed all the old coolant out. It hasn't had any problems overheating ever. The radio works great but sometimes the display on the factory head unit goes out. The controls through the steering wheel work great and it's awesome to change everything while still holding onto the steering wheel. I keep my car clean and the interior spotless because nobody likes a dirty car. This car is in great shape and the only reason why I'm selling it is because I'm in debt with school so the toy has to go. If I didn't have other priorities, I would never even think about selling this car. This is by far my favorite car and will make anyone happy to drive. If you want to come check out the car or have any other questions my number is 719-242-5960. Thank you.

Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel
Sat, Nov 22 2014When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.

Pontiac and McLaren once hooked up, and it was rad
Fri, Jun 24 2022Most of us would bend over backwards to have a chance to own a McLaren car, but few can afford such extravagance. That said, there’s a way you can get behind the wheel of a legitimate McLaren without breaking the bank. For 1989 and 1990, the Pontiac Grand Prix was offered in a limited-edition ASC-McLaren variant that featured tuning and updates from the iconic British automaker. Examples of this rare coupe rarely surface for sale, so itÂ’s surprising to see this low-mile 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix ASC-McLaren on eBay. The car is the result of a partnership between American Specialty Cars-McLaren (ASC-McLaren) and Pontiac. WeÂ’re not talking about the McLaren Formula 1 team or even the iconic McLaren road cars here. The McLaren connection comes from an arm of the automakerÂ’s powertrain engineering department. The Grand PrixÂ’s standard 3,1-liter V6 got a massage and a turbocharger, adding 65 horsepower for a total of 205 ponies and 225 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. That output is modest by todayÂ’s standards, and it wasnÂ’t outrageous even by 1990 standards, but the car returned a decent 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The $5,000 ASC-McLaren package added a load of cool 1980s tech to the Grand PrixÂ’s interior, some of which is surprisingly advanced for the time. The car got a head-up display and a digital display on the dash. The steering wheel should be delightfully familiar to anyone who remembers a top-end Pontiac of the era, with the entire center of the wheel filled with buttons instead of the airbags we see today. The car had insanely padded bucket seats front and rear(!) with a distinctive pear shape. Many sources peg production numbers between 2,500 and 3,500 units, so the car is relatively rare compared to its mass-produced Pontiac counterparts. This oneÂ’s got just 17,746 miles on the clock, too, and appears to be in excellent condition. ItÂ’s had just two owners and no reported accidents. The seller notes a little surface rust from the car being in storage so long. This era of GM cars tended to deteriorate quickly, so a bit of surface rust shouldnÂ’t be a huge issue.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
