one day ill be there lol


morganrush nice beach pose !!!

trigger....

 

Guess I'll add a few of mine now that she's roadworthy. Put about 60-70 flawless miles on her so far and I'll be getting a tune and dyno session soon. Just need a few things like door panels and a few other odds and ends, but I tihnk I'll enjoy driving it the rest of the season!

 

HOT !

What color is that ?

~DaVe

 

needs more low

 

PPG flame orange metallic. And thanks buddy!

LOL...I like it just the way it is. I enjoy being able to actually drive it at that stance! I'm a sucker for ground clearance.

 

Most EPIC T/A EVER!

 

Dude that is one beautiful ride!
I agree with you as far as ride hight. No rubb, no bottoming
out, no worries about driveways either... heh

 

Here is my 86 TA!

 

Wolfman TA, which rims are you actually running right now? I hope it's the GTA ones. Do you still have the chrome stickers on the cowl hood?

Clean car though, especially so for a Canadian car.

 

rgauder, running the chrome rims right now.But I have the GTA ones and the pontaic ones that come on it. Yes still have the stickers on the hood. Here are some more pic's. Went to a Camero & Firebird car show in Lambeth Saturday. Alot of sweet rides. Joined the All Generations Camero & Firebird Car Club here in London. You should check it out. Cheers...

 

My 86 with 19x8 w/ 255/35s and 19x10s w/ 295/30s, and SS Brembo brakes

 

This is the only 3rd Gen I have ever seen that had 19" rims on it that I didn't think looked oversized and out of place. Really nice job, all the way around!

 

Thought y'all might like to see a few shots I got of the GTA this summer that I never got around to putting up. These are from a road trip I made down to Padre National Seashore back in May.







Enjoy!

Thank u sir!! I appreciate it.

 

Perfect stance, and I dig the wheels and the color scheme.
Lowered?

 

Thank u . I'm running Moog constant rate springs front and rear, cut to 2" drop

 

Many of you have seen these before but decided to add them here as well.

 

hello just thought i add some pics of my car to this
Thread.

84 Recaro

 

Awesome!! I got the same color combo, but yours look better, great job!

 

heres how it is currently sitting

 

Amen to that! About three times a year some one tells me I need to lower my car. Come to a track day and then tell me that. Autcross, road course, or 1/4 mile the way it sits I can pretty much muscle my way around all of them, and the car is composed. Yea an inch or two may look cool but the tire smoke and spin puts would look pretty rookie.

 

I love those wheels man. I've already told you before, but damn good choice!

A lot of people don't know or understand that a slammed car doesn't do many things very well besides look good, and even thats an opinion. Dropping a car a bit lower than factory with better spring rates will improve handling by a long shot, but you also need a suspension to back it up!

 

I had mine low but it was going to be a major pain to restore trailing arm geometry. I would have had t go to a decoupled to arm. The amount of spring travel was less than the amount f bumps top travel so what's the use of springs.

The front was a mess. The link steering only lines up with the a-arm arc in a couple of places and none of them are when the a-arms are beyond level, and caster and cambe become very non-linear when the a arm starts beyond level in its travel. The causes the front end to pitch, mechanically. You can counteract t with stiff springs and sway bar but you may as well weld everything solid.

 

 

Semper Fi, and well done. The wheels, paint, and interior looks amazing on that car. Got any links to a build thread?

 

Hey brother!! I have a few links. Ill PM you, you can make an account on my other 3rdgen forum also if youd like

 

I love the rims, your car looks awsome. Any other links on here about thr build?
How hard was the corvette side marker mod & wiring?

 

My 84

 

whitedevilTA, thank you. I'd love to put the wheels you have on my car just to see how they look. They are amazing looking wheels as well(the whole car is really, amazing work on it!)

Saw this car for sale recently. Are you the seller, or did you recently purchase this? Very nice BTW.

 

Thanks a lot! I was selling it, but decided to complete the build and keep it..

 

Are those Corvette side markers?

 

yeah they are. they were fiberglassed in when the handles were shaved off

 

beautifull

Car looks great.

 

Sigh. I have a long way to go.
I'll have it back in December...

 

Really? sweet! thanks for watching. Im going to post a video soon. Just have to edit it haha.

 

Looks good Lee! Any plans to paint the front bumper? It looks pretty bad. I know you won't see it, but it could be a safety issue if you got in a wreck with a rotted-out bumper. Just my

 

They are Bonspeed GT-B wheels. Thanks for the compliment

 

It's just surface rust - no structural issues at all. I will POR 15 the support, but thats about it...

 

So, will you finally put the wheels/tires on there?

BTW, my money pit:

 

That car is clean

 

Still have them. I put the old ones back on for all the body work. Didn't want them to get all messed up.
BTW did you have wheel spacers on the front? They rub a bit when turned lock to lock. I don't know what size they need...

 

1986 5.0L TPI

 

Test fitting 18x9.5 C6 Vette rims.



Planning on repainting the car next year. Keep the Blue/Silver, or do Cyber Metallic Grey with satin black accents?
