How's it hanging? A little to the left here.

My name's Merrill. I just purchased my second Camaro. My first one was a '91 Z28 convertible. This one is an '88 IROC-Z, also convertible. In between, I owned a '97 Honda Accord that I put way too much money into, and just recently sold a MKIV Supra (1994) that was pushing ~450 rwhp, ~380ft/lbs. Funny stuff. Now I'm obsessed with forced induction courtesy of turbo, and looking to add some to the new car.

Anywho, some more about me...I'm 24, I have been in the Navy for 6 years now. I'm married to my HS sweetheart, we have a 4 year old daughter named Kayla, who has already officially adopted the new car. I live in NW Virginia, right on the MD border. I lived in Virginia Beach the last 4 years, and we are originally from Brooksville (Tampa), Florida.

We also own an '01 Nissan Xterra that we have officially broken our cherry with wheelin' in. We took it up in the mountains of George Washington National Forest a couple weeks ago with the members from VAXC.org (my sig). If you are in the VA area and ever go off-roading, feel free to join the site, we don't discriminate against non-Nissans.

Any other questions, feel free to ask. I'm no stranger to forums, I moderate a couple, I been around for a while (I use "MerF" everywhere I go, so maybe you have seen me before). Any tips you can give me to the in and outs of this forum, let me know now so I can save myself the flaming later.

My new baby:

 

definitely a nice convertible. i just finished my iroc i been workin on.. now im thinkin bout gettin back into the offroad scene, im buyin another 97 chev tahoe to lift p and have fun with, i have an 02 tahoe but the wife wont let me take it off road, i cant blame her.. anyway werehavn a camaro picnic today 25th if your not doin anything come on up... should be a good time

 

Sorry abotu not making the picnic, we went to the VA state Fair yeterday. Good times, till the gangs took over when the sun went down...that was weird.

Anyway, if you are looking for a group to off-road with, click my sig, we take anyone and everyone!

 

Welcome!!

Hey, I don't have a truck, but I love gettin' dirty. Mind if I tag along too? I'm a good spotter

 

LOL^

welcome aboard! very nice & clean ride!! :hail:

 

sorry ya missed the picnic, good times had... but let me know where at u go off roadin is it a park or a mountain etc..i should be gettin my 2nd tahoe soon hopefully...

 

We go wherever is good. Like I said in my original post, GWNF (George Washington National Forest) on the VA/WV border is always popular, but there ae lts of thrips to the OBX (Outer Banks of NC), Fort A.P. Hill (an Army base right around my house), and anywhere else that someone finds some trails to go wheelin' through.

So here's a question...I bought the car with these rims on it, and they just don't float my boat at all...they have brand new rubber on them, but they are of the 16" variety...not big enough for me. So how does one find a selection of rims that I can fit on this car? Do I have to accept the fact that I'm getting spacers of some sort to put any aftermarket rims on?

 

Oh boy, there goes the board

How's that ****** coming along?

 

lmao!!!! "b-ullet" with an 'm' is censored!!!!

 

yup. this board is full of **** mods and admins. o yeah, don't forget.....everyone on this board knows everything about anything.

 

The fact that word "******" is censored on this board is quite amusing.

 

I think it's so you Mustang turds don't get skerred. 'Sup Nic.

 

This is gonna be fun :lala:

 

Merf.. boyds make the backspacing and offset to what you need. They are nice wheels also. its http://www.boydcoddington.com/ .. nice vert welcome to 3rd gen.. watch out for the closed minded ppl here..

hawks third gen has zr1 style wheels if that floats your boat better, they sell ones with no required adapters.bolt rite up...

 

Man....that site has some nice wheels...I'm kinda hoping to go for a pro-touring look, so maybe som eforged series 17" or so...which there is a selection of there. Thanks a ton!

 

you asked for a tip? heres one. dont ever post a problem you have, cuz the only replies you will get are "do a search"

 

I prefer the discouragement you get when you are trying to make your car different than every one els's. Good thing i love my 3rd gen allot..

sounds a lot like most car-specific forum sI subscribe to, no biggie. Thanks for the warning though!
