Well here's my first third gen. Its a 82 Camaro. The pictures aren't very recent seeing as how I don't have a digital camera any more.The pics are on my CarDomain site.By the way I am only 16 years old.

its a start...looks to be solid from the pics....take your time and do the car right and you will be happy with it...

 

Thanks, its actually a nice shade of blue now, but I haven't been able to get pics. As soon as I get some I'll post them up.

 

I know jsut how you feel, I am 15 and have owned 2 camaros since i was 12 ( bought the first one when i was 12 for $400) and know i own a 92 RS, they are great fun but can be bitches at times

 

that cam is huge for your set up. you should have bought a better intake setup before the cam. I'm 17 and have owned an 86 trans am and i now own a 87 iroc. these cars are way fun but like said before they can be a PIA, but then again so can any car.

 

Yeah, I know the cam is big. It used to have a better intake and carb along with better heads, but my mom overheated the engine and cracked the left head, and the intake also cracked.

I took some more pictures today, but I have to wait until I goto WalMart, so I can get them on a Kodak PictureCD.It will probably be around a week or so, and I will have new pictures.

 

Sweet! Another sport coupe!

Car looks good man...let us know when you get those new pics. Check out my '83 SC: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/253549

Looks like the body is straight, and you have a good platform for the engine. Happy thirdgenning!

btw, I'm 19.

 

Doesnt look to bad for something to start messing with and get to figuring out thirdgens, cam has definately got to go though

 

Would this be a pretty good setup, I talked it over with some others and they helped me come up with the plan but i would like other peoples opinions.

GM Vortech Heads
Edelbrock Performer RPM Vortech Intake
Edlebrock 600CFM Carb
Summit Cam 234*/234* .488"/.488"
Edlebrock TI-TECH Headers
Hooker Super Comp Cat-Back
K&N Xtreme AirFlow Air cleaner kit

Would this be good?Have any thing that should be exchanged?

 

If you are still going to be running that big of a cam, you are going to need a stall torque convertor if you don't have one already. I only have a .450 lift cam (see cam specs in sig) and I went ahead and got a TCI "sizzler" convertor which, IIRC, is 600-800 RPM over stock. You would probably be better off with TCI's "Saturday Night Special" with your setup.

I already have a 1800 or 2000 stall, would that be good enough or would I need something greater?

 

Ah yes, the good ole days of being a teenager and owning that cool thirdgen. I look forward to seeing what you do to it assuming you keep it that long. I definately don't know many that own pre 87s let alone an 82.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments. I'll have some new pictures up on Tuesday, so everyone can see what it looks like currently.

 

Nice! Welcome...You will find a lot of good tips and a lot of infomation and some nice people here if you ever need anything .

Here's the link to the car domain site again. I updated it, so you can see what it looks like now instead of what it looked liked last year.

 

Good greif fast83camaro you change cars more than most people change underwear.

 

I hear that Holley carbs are better. And you really can't beat a set of Hooker headers. But it looks pretty good. Good luck. Have fun. Drive safe.

I'm 16 too.
