I need some bits for a Pontiac Firebird and would welcome any suggestions on where I can source parts - ideally in Southern England.

My immdiate need is a rear Anti Roll Bar link.

Any information would be gratefully recieved.

Hi there,

I can confidently say I have found the best Camaro/TA/Pntiac specialist in the UK. Richard Hogg at American Technique.



I sent my Vert to him for-

New Subframe Connectors
Eibach (he's an official importer) Lowering springs fitted
Underseal
Strut Tower Brace fitting

He is an official Magnaflow distributor and for Eibach. he replaced my roll bar bushes for Spohn ones which he had in stock.

Give him a call.

cheers,
Felix

Have a look at www.rockauto.com - its in the US but they're very good. Not sure of they do the link.

Ask for prices though as I once ended up paying £70 from a UK parts dealer for two axle clamps!

From which I assume it must also be an auto. AT LAST!!!!It's your lucky day.

PM me your address and I'll send you a new and boxed ADS Superchip for your computer (simple to fit in 15 minutes). It requires the use of super unleaded but will add power, delay torque convertor lock-up and firm up your gearshift.

How much? Nothing. I got it back in 1996 when they sent me the wrong chip for the Corvette I had and it's been sitting here for 15 years waiting for a car to come along.

The chip they sent me for the Corvette improved the car considerably. Even if it's only worth 10hp, it's well worth it.

PS - just in case you think I'm going to nick your car, I can send it to any address you like. hehe

If it had been a Gen 2, had some rusty a/r bar hangers with knackered rubber bushes up for grabs.

Think a free superchip trumps that thumbup

Pictures! I demand pictures!

I've got an '89 Formula 350 in Maui Blue. I drove the car for 10 years, year 'round. It's quite rusty now, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. I love that car.

Another one to try is Bob Harman Performance, parts line is 01923 221776.

They're all keen american car lovers, Bob has a Mustang himself, a Shelby 500 infact. They've worked on my Corvette a few times too.
