Very nice build, you did it a lot faster than I did! One question, could you get a picture of your trans mount? Looks like you have way more ground clearance than I do, would like to see how it is set up and how the exhaust runs, thanks!

As for the gas gauge, did you swap the tank also? or is it stock thirdgen? If it's stock, the best way might be to swap in a 4th gen tank/pump sender, then it will work as intended with your 4th gen gauges. The resistance is different (~0-90 ohm for thirdgens, ~40-130 ohms for the 4th gens, I think) in the sender, so the gauge is looking for different values for full and empty.

 

Any chance of a couple of pics from the side with the new wheels?

Are they the stock springs?

 

99-02 Plastic tank fuel level senders are 40-250 ohms. 40 being empty, 250 being full.

 

I knew it was something like that. All I know is that my plastic tank fit great and my fuel gauge is pretty close

 

The projectors were made by 841le. No link to the gauge install, I have a diagram I made that would apply to 90-92 cars. Gas gauge works, was a bad ground. Its a hawks x member ill try to get better pics of exhaust routing and side shots of the wheels. Springs are canuck motorsports v6'rs in the front and prokit in the back, no isolaters all around.

 

hows the wheels looking nice get some bigger tires lol i decided to save up for LS1 swap myself

anyway car looking nice

 

Lol ive been shortening the life of the rears for an excuse to upgrade. Thinking about stripping the black to change the look. Cant go wrong with ls1 swap. Im saving up for longtubes cam and a tune oh and some gears.

 

yea that was what i was going to do but alot off people seem to like it but im not a fan of 2 tone wheels unless its like brushed face with a polished lip that was what i was going to do to the face or a gunmetal but and i wish the front was wider then a 8" i would of kept them lol
where did you find you ls1 at ?
also you hang out with the Cali Generalz ?just asking cause ive been meaning to go to a meet but my last camaro got taken to a chop shop lol
but ima have more free time in the comming weeks
thirdgen scene is dead in diego

 

Haha same here now that you told me that I really want to strip them. I got my donor locally.

I'm in cali generalz you should come out and kick it with us. All the action is up here

 

Lol I'm just waiting for tires I'm mocking up my wheels
I'm going try come out

 

great work! what did you decide to use for the throttle cable?

 

Damn those wheels look aggressive what are the specs?

I was fortunate enough to get a non traction control equipped ss. I bent the gas pedal a little and riveted a washer to mount it through the firewall. Kinda ghetto but it works and blends in.

 

Yea I like a aggressive look lean mean and clean is what I'm going for
Lol as long it works there 18x10 all around

Yea thinking about getting a LQ9 instead of ls1 just easier to find probably back by a built 4L65E with maybe paddle shift hmm !!!

When are you going to next meet ?

 

Cant go wrong with lq9 neither. The homie Jr from cg has one and were about even on the street and hes .3 seconds quicker at the track.

Were meeing up this sunday.

 

yea ive seen it on youtube and in the cg forum
havent had luck in finding a engine and trans yet just being patient waitng for good deal to come up

idk if im going to go my trans started act wiered in overdrive its acts like in neutral but regular drive it drives good im at work so i have to check it when i gett off lol just my luck strikes again

what time sun?

@zman1969 sold the GTA around the time I last posted on this thread. Its been a while, time flies lol. Iroc is still here.

 

How you been dude? Car looks great. Who/where did you paint it? Sold the Impala too?

 

I've been pretty good how about you? The car is dipped, I sprayed it myself. Still have the impala. No more 84?

 

Been good as well, working all thru this pandemic. So I can't complain.Yeah, the 84 is no more, but all its parts live on in the vert.
