Hi everyone, my name is Florent, i am french (sorry for my English), i am 28 years old and i crazy about American Muscle Cars, spécialy Camaro.

I love the japanese car too, but i decide ton prepare my first american car in japan roots drift car because i saw same design between the rx7 fc, the nissan S13 and the third gen camaro



It just a V6 :/ with manual gear box but maybe swap in the future







i choose to tune in this in the spirit of this car



PARTS:

At the begin, i change the exhaust with Dynomax' Pipes and Pacesetter' Headers





After i bought the Suspensions, Koni yellow's with Ground Controls Weight jack





And a Spacers/adapters for changes 5x120.6 to 5x114.3...

.Némésis.

... because i have a JDM wheels, a Fabulous Expand in 19x9 et5 and 19x10 et5 (rear dish more than 4") with stretch tires kumho KU31 215/35/19 FT 235/35/19 RR





need to cut the rear inners fenders




... and a few stickers ^^



At present, it looks like it












Now, i need to drop more the front, repare a ingnitions problems and for the rest of the tuning i want to buy:

front effet lip on 91/92 model



Extreme Dimension rear bumper



Roll cage with gussets



Bubble shift **** for the Japan Spirit ^^



I hope you like the vision of my camaro tune. I love the Stance and the hellaflush style and it's a eccentric base for this project

I honestly dont care for the stretch tires and camber thing that the import guys are going for. Maybe it's because I'm ignorant to the reason why they do it. I just haven't cared to research.

But I got to give it to you man, the car looks good. It's nice to see some one going away from the mainstream, and being different.

Also I never realized the resemblance between the thirdgen and the imports that you posted.


I'm not liking the rear bumper, but honestly I think it might look alright with rectangle exhaust tips.

Welcome
Nice to see American muscle over seas. You have a very nice car and I really like the rims you put on. Just not a fan of the stretched tires. I like a lot of meat on the road. Have fun modifying your car your way and welcome to ThirdGen

.Némésis.

thanks

i practice the japan/usdm/jdm since 10 years, but i always dream of camaro, and i want see the result of this mix

American muscle was very appreciate in France, but are more expensive than your with importation. French peoples prefer photoshoting a american muscle than a Porsches because of they are extremely rare

for stretching tires, i love this look, it a solution for drop the car a little more. i drive anothers car with and i never had problems at present, more stretch than this could became dangerous

thank you too for your welcome

I am sorry if my english is doesn't very well

I like the way this Camaro is going. I agree with you on the extreme wheel camber some of the tuner guys are doing. Ive driven by a few of these cars and see how they drive and it just looks like a shi**y ride.

.Némésis.

There is no problem of camber with he camaro because it impossible to made negative camber at the rear , or i didn't know how procced

How do you like the Koni/ Weight Jack setup? I'm planning on ordering it soon.

Don't worry about your English, it's better than a lot of American's written English. I can easily follow yours versus having no idea what others are writing.

I like the direction you are taking with the car. The modifications you have made so far are good ones. I am not a fan of the stretched tire look either, but I really like those wheels. I would have gone with a 315 in the rear and a 275 in the front, but that is because I am more of a road course guy and traction is key.

I never thought I'd find the owner of this car, I have been looking for info on it ever since I first saw it online. Are those wheel offsets before or after you factored in the spacers? And what did you end up doing with your rear fender lips, roll them or cut? And what spring rates do you have?

mdtoren

I want to see more of this build! Awesome ideas and very different. Digging it!

.Némésis.

really, thanks you very much

I doesn't remember if i take 800 or 1000 all arround for the spring rate

the wheels offset is ET5 all arround and with the spacers is -25front -15rear

for the fenders, front is stock now (but with 0.5 drop more, i need to cut the inner fender)

rear, the inner fender is cut, the bumpstop is remove, and i install only the spring (not the ring for the ride height)

i dream to drop it like your but with this offset and 19 inch wheels, it's very difficult

i need to repare ignitions, more news coming soon

Zeifer

The only thing I'm not liking about this car is the stretched tires. And the V6. Otherwise, awesome build and I hope to see more!

Do you have any pictures showing the rear lip? I'm thinking I may have to cut mine too but I want to see if it's going to be noticeable.

.Némésis.

i try to make another this weekend

Zeifer

That's close.

Welcome to the board and 3rd Gen Camaros......

Have fun with your vision....... from an engineering standpoint keep in mind how much more tire width / offset your putting on stock ? parts. Check the torque of your wheel spacers after you run them for a time. They have been known to loosen up.
I've run one inch ( 2.5cm ) without problems and did check them in maintenance for torque.

The fender lips can possible be rolled so there are no sharp edges to cut a tire.

Have fun.....

thanks you all of you

when he cut the rear fender, my body shop' man make a a "gasket cream" (sorry i didn't know how you tell this in USA) for proof the rust and the sharp edges

^ That's good.

Your English is good... it's a complex language to learn everything ..... I communicate with alot of people in Europe and all over the world in another hobby I have. Do you use google to translate ?

.Némésis.

thank, No i use just my knowledges, and if i make a answer for your question "an engineering standpoint keep in mind how much more tire width / offset your putting on stock ?" is because i'am not inderstand it?

Im curious to know how he did this.

I would imagine the normal term we use for that is "seam sealer"... but it may be the same as what we call undercoating. Not really sure. Probably closer to seam sealer though.

.Némésis.

yes i think is it

dlewis318

I love this build and I'm glad I've found someone else on this forum who appreciates Japanese style. I'm building my car very similar except a bit lower and more aggressive. What are your future plans for your car?

.Némésis.

Thanks you, yes i love japanese cars, 3 mounths ago i slammed my s2k, it was more easy than this third gen.

At this time i need to order a ignition coil, air and fuel filters

after, i start the roll cage or the need fender lip and rear bumper

And in the future maybe a LS engine swap

Its a good looking are man. It's not the style I would do with mine, but I love the direction your going in. Its unique, and you made it your own. The stretched tire look isn't bad in in my opinion, again not my style, but very cool. The only recommendation I would give is put a V8 in the car. Are small block chevy engines hard to come by out there?

LivinLarge

Not a fan of the wheel style but love the whole concept of the car!
