Almost Finished Pics!! 92RS W/LS1
Well its the first car wash this baby has had in over two years, lets just say it had a nice layer of dust on it. Anyways let me know what you think or whay you suggest. Things I still need to do is bolt the hood back on, adjust the coilovers(lower), finish moving the battery to the trunk(hence the red wires showing in the passenger side of the engine bay) and finish hiding a few select wires............jt

The black piece in front of the radiator is the factory piece that came on RS models without the snorkel. I have the part # if you need it. It was fairly cheap and as of two months ago GM still had it in stock............jt

That set-up looks amazing, I got an RS too and am just about to purchase an LS1. Considering the power of that engine I am guessing that you got a t-56 or something besides the stock t-5 or 700R4. I am just wondering on the price and how many miles are on the engine/transmission.

I paid $4800 for the Engine/Trans Combo last October. Its from an 02 WS6 with 19k miles. It came with pics of the car and the carfax from the vehicle. Of course buy the time you add all the other items you need into it, it starts getting expensive. Oh, it is a T56.

I like it a lot, it looks real sharp. And I really like those rims on 3rd gen Camaros. I like how it's just and sleek and mostly stock, but with the little changes that make it look unique too, without being over the top.

Beautiful car, awesome color, awesome drivetrain setup, excellent vanity plate and incredibly neat job putting it all together.
As you can tell I'm highly impressed.

that car is amazing! What kind of wheels are those on the car and if you don't me ask how much they run you? Did you repaint your engine bay when you put the engine back in?

Im assuming you have the spohn coilovers. Could possibly get some shots off the car fully raised as well, as fully dropped to see how much adjustment is available?

The wheels are boyd Coddington Junkyard Dog wheels. I aid close to $1300 for them at discounttiredirect but it looks like they have raised there prices. Oh and yes, i repainted the engine bay.
