go over those wheelwells with some rubber undercoating and lower it. between the grayish looking wheelwheels and the 17" rims, it looks like it's jacked up

^^^^ He nailed it right on the head, do that and it'll look soo much better, also black headlight pockets, and if it were mine one solid color. I'm not a fan of two tone paint jobs, but if you like it that way, then thats cool too

LOL.....

First thing that popped in my head was Happy Gilmore's "Happy Place".

Loose the 80's style wheels...... unless you listen to REO Speedwagon and Journey all the time. Then keep them. :lala:

Lower the front, change the hood, gloss black in the wheel wells repaint the chin spoiler cause thats the only blemish i can see. Other than that it looks pretty good. Oh yeah, and a 91-92 z28 spoiler.

I really love my rims so this is staying for sure, these are pretty much unique. I got them from a special edition corvette.

I will post pics of the engine as soon as I get out to take some.

Here's what's happening about my ride, I have a friend that has a 2.8 Sport Coupe with only 97000miles in mint condition, no rust. My car nearly has 200000 and he's willing to trade it for my laptop computer, no money involve.

I'm thinking about taking everything from my car + all the extra stuff sitting at home and swapping that into the 2.8 so that way I can do a groundup restoration of the 2.8 and have a decent low milleage car. In the end I can sell my RS for a few thousands since I have everything from another 305 camaro sitting in the garage.

Here's what I have sitting at home, collecting dust :

93 Lt1 drivetrain + access.
M112 Supercharger + inline fuel pump + gauges + FMU + AFPR
Crane roller tip rockers
2002 Camaro leather seats
Zexel Torsion posi + 28 splines axles + 3.42
TCI Shiftkit
Aluminium Driveshaft
Longtubes + Full dual exaust + dynomax super turbo mufflers
Panhard bar + lower control arms
(+ another complete camaro in parts)

Now, should I swap that or not ? I not sure yet, the only thing missing that I need to install a v8 back into my RS is motor mounts. (25$?)

I'll try to get pics for everybody later on today. keep check the post. I'll get a pic of the 2.8 aswell

Here is a properly balanced workup of your Z.

I think it is a mighty sharp looking car. I'd just stick with it as doing the V8 swap to a 6 bangers is a LOT of work

Besides, V8s are WAY more fun to drive
