Getting out of the game ...

I'm sad to say but I am officially throwing in the towel and getting out of the hot-rodding game. I'm going back to UH, selling my house, and moving to a place in town with no garage. I have been affected by 82-92 Camaro addiction for the past 6-7 years. This has resulted in a large number of cars and parts that I will now sell. I didn't have time to make a list of everything and I dont have prices set, so I decided to post here. This is an open invitation for any and all Chevy Enthusiasts out there to call me up and come take a look at what I got. Just some stuff off the top of my head, a 92 Z28 Camaro, a 91 B4C police package Camaro, an 89 IROC-Z Camaro, four 350 engines one of them 11:1 w/ cam, a TH350, a 700R4, a un-used G-Force Built T5 rated @ 600hp, a T56 from a 93, aftermarket T56 clutch/pressureplate, Aluminum L98 heads from a vette good for 10:1, full set of weight jacks / custom springs, multiple sets of Tokico struts/shocks both adjustable and non, full edelbrock exhaust system (inc headers) for 82-92 possibly others, a million sets of 91-92 taillights, multiple TPI systems from both the MAF and SpeedDensity era, unbelievable ammount of rims and tires from the 82-92 era (all models from all cars), manual swap kit for 82-92, Th350 swap kit for 82-92, borgwarner 9 bolt rearend with pbr disc brakes, couple more rearends both 9 and 10 bolt, retarded ammount of extra body panels, fenders, doors, bumpers, etc, extra seats both grey and black, extra guage clusters. Its a bunch of stuff, enough to blow your mind. If you want to buy some of this stuff call me up, 372-4671

Here are some package deals:

EFI Conversion Package #1 - Tuned Port Injection (TPI) Speed Density (SD) for SBC, includes complete intake, throttlebody, all sensors, oem fuel lines, 22# injectors, un-cut OEM wiring harness, and OEM 720 ECM. $300

Add on to package #1 - Typhoon/Syclone ECM upgrade, ability to account for boosted applications, package includes a used 749 ECM from a Typhoon with the Moates USB Romulator/Flash Tuning System (over $500 worth of parts). What is this you ask? Re-pin the OEM SD-TPI wiring harness for the 749 plug jack, replace the OEM map sensor with a GM 2 bar unit, and begin tuning for ECM control of spark/fuel/timing up to 14.5psi boost (all factory parts, requires that you have a laptop and are willing to learn how to tune but alot cheaper than standalone) - $250

EFI Conversion Package #2 - Tuned Port Injection (TPI) Mass Airflow (MAF) for SBC, includes complete intake, throttlebody, all sensors, oem fuel lines, 22# injectors, un-cut OEM wiring harness, and OEM 165 ECM. $300

CrazyHawaiian Cornering Suspension Package for 82-92 - Ground Control Weight Jack System (front/rear) with custom height rate springs (10" tall, 750# front/150# rear), brand new 5 way adjustable dampening Tokico Illumina struts/shocks, complete front end with PST bushings (tie-rods, control arms, etc), hotchkis tie-rod adjusters, PST swaybars front/rear - $600

91-92 Z28 Body conversion package for 82-89 Camaro, 91-92 front bumper, front lower GFX, 91-92 upper and lower sideskirts, 91-92 rear 1/4 panel GFX, 91-92 rear bumper, 91-92 rear wing, and 91-92 taillights (everything you need to make your 82-89 look like a 91-92) $400

82-92 Rear Disc Brake Conversion Package - Dump those rear dums on your 82-92 and upgrade to disk brakes: Borg Warner 9 bolt rearend with 2.7x gearset and PBR disc brakes, all lines, and 4 wheel disc master cylinder all out of an 89 IROC-Z. Don't want the 2.7x gears? I also got one with 3.2x gears (go figure) $300

82-92 TH350 Swap Kit - Spohn TH350 Swap Crossmember, Hurst Torque Arm Conversion Kit, special adjustable TV cable for TH350 in a turdgen, and an OEM driveshaft guarantee to work with a long tail TH350 ... just add one TH350 transmission and you're ready to go! - $200

82-92 Manual Transmission Swap Kit - Swap in either a T5 or a T56 with this kit of OEM parts - includes a thirdgen 5 speed pedal assembly, the slave brackets from a thirdgen slave cylinder, a used slave cylinder (I would use a new one, this is throw in fo free), and the center console shifter plate for 5 speed with the shifter boot. Just add one T5 + shifter + clutch/etc or one T56 + shifter + clutch/etc and cut the required holes in the body, you're ready to go! - $150

Make some noise for cheap package - complete 82-92 Edelbrock Exhaust system including the headers and full cat back exhaust. Has lots of surface rust so its cheap! Just put new tips and nobody will know! Or clean it up and paint with high-temp paint (thats what I was gonna do) your choice. $200

Say it ain't so! You've been an inspiration, however I understand that life comes before hobbies. I wish you the best.

Re: Getting out of the game ...

Hi Shawn,

Unfortunate to hear you're slipping away from the hobby. A lot of people have benefited from your knowledge, so I hope you're able to have time here in the future. You're one of the few that knows everything about these cars.

My 91 Camaro ragtop could use the following parts, if they're available:

Disk Brake E-brake assy
Black carpet and door panels
Black seats
Fog lights
Z28 or Camaro grill insert
Z28 hood

Thanks,
Ed

BTW, I have an extra convertible top in good condition, free, if someone wants it.
