Car: 1992 Camaro RS Engine: L03 Transmission: 700r4 Axle/Gears: 10bolt, 2.73 | I bought it a little over a year ago from my the original owner - my older sister. What with the entire history of the car documented from day one and knowing that she almost never took it past 2k rpm I jumped at the chance to buy it.
But, she drove it in the winter twice. The body looks good, but I know of all the little things that need to be corrected (like surface rust in the wheel wells). Since I've picked up a z28 hood and am soon to have blisters, the whole car needs a paintjob.
Anyone have suggestions of manitoba shops to go to? | |

| hey whats up. im from winnipeg. i have an 83 firebird originally a v6 car now a 350. actually i would like to sell it if anyone knows someone who would be interested. either as a whole car or i would consider selling the powertrain seperatly and then part out the car. the engine and tranny have less than 10,000kms. the specs are in my sig. the doors are too rusty to fix but the rest of the car isnt too bad. i can get any parts needed to fix it. email me at djwaylett@yahoo.com if you want any info.

Car: 1992 RS (25 th Anniversary) Engine: 350 Miniram XFI Transmission: Pro-Built 4L60 Axle/Gears: 3.73 | 327 TPI
Yesterday I won a complete TPI setup off Ebay. I'm so stoked, haven't slept in two days. I got it for $355 US. It is off a 91 GTA. It comes with the ECM, wiring harness, all sensors, intake setup, distributor, 19# injectors, throttle cable, and some other stuff. I have a 68 327 c.i.d engine that I had rebuilt. I was going to use this engine for my 85 Z28, but I sold that car to my brother. I bought a 92 RS in Dec.02. I'm going to swap out the 305 TBI and in it's place put a Speed Density 327 TPI ( Miniram, sooner or later ). I'm getting closer to completing my project. I just need to finish the heads, get my cam, all the fuel needs and get a chip. Once I have all my pieces I will begin the retrofit. Man I'm excited......... | |

They sent it on Monday (yesterday) by Fedex. How long would it take to arrive from Kitchener, ON ? I'm pumped. Can't wait for it to arrive.... | |

Hey, whats up guys. 83 S/E i met you lasy year at PoloPark i had the Marroon '89 GTA last year. Rattlesnake knows me from our Msg board. Chrisman2000 was that you with the Red 91 Z , cool i was the the tall white white guy that was talking to you about the car and helped push the car when ya had your unfortunate incident. Funny story another one of my friends with a the identical car as your to the tee had the same problem like a month ago maybe. Im pretty easy to find in Winnipeg I have a pretty minty Black '91 GTA, 350 L98. And my liscence plate is WLDSIDE. Im not hard to find. Most of you know me or have seen me im sure. Im usually hanging around with other fbody guys at the cars shows at B.Bills on Sundays and cruising the strip later at night on Sunday. If any of you wanna meet up, check out our manitoba Fbody msg board @ www.thefbody.com ....Check ya'll later and see ya the strip. PS were having a Fbody car show toward the later part of July. Ill post more about it here later once dates have been finalized.

| Hello,
How is everyone? I drive a '91 Z28 Camaro that is brilliant red (burgandy). I would be the one who drives slow and stays out of trouble. Those in Winnipeg may have seen me as my plate says STOLN. I must confess though, 3 or 4 weeks ago I was racing a 95 TA and blew a frost plug for the block heater  . She is all fixed and has new blood. I am also extending the invitation to all the Manitoba FBODY guys and gals to check out www.thefbody.com and post from time to time. I am also putting together a enbroidered logo for the FBODY Generations. So all you Canadian members get yours while it is hot. There are posts about it at the site. Nice to see new faces here and hop to see you at the other site. | |

Car: 1991 Camaro Z28 Engine: 350 L98 Transmission: 700R4 | Hey WinnipegGTA you guys were great. Thanks for the help. Maybe I'll see you guys out tonight. About hanging out at the St. James. I don't think thats going to happen now. First off the place is import territory. I wouldn't be surprised if someones car got keyed there. Secondly security now blocks all the stores. So your going to get kicked out.
Have you guys been to the Tim Hortens on Main street in West Kildonan? They place is pack with everything from third gens to pro streets.
Well drive safe and watch for cops. They now don't need an excuse to pull you over | | | |
