I used to live down in that area, and I could hear it from my house. That was back before I could drive, or even care about what was going on there. Now I wish I still lived 5 minutes from a drag strip, 40 minutes to Island sucks.

Welcome to the site KnightZero. From your avatar it looks like you have a nice lookin bird. You won't find a better thirdgen fbody site anywhere on the internet than this. Since your still researching, you have a 3.1L 60degree 6 cylinder motor bolted to a 700R4(auto) or t-5(manual) transmission with 3.23(auto) or 3.42(manual) axle ratio. Granted its all stock.

Thanks for the kind words, and the parts listing. The car needs a bit of work......what you cant see in its picture is that the ground effects on the outside are a bit beat,and the interior needs an overhaul, but i'm thorougly enjoying the car. I'm looking for advice on getting parts locally, and for other F-body drivers who know what they are doing with these cars.......looks like I've found the place.

Conshy

I live in Roxborough (NW Philly) and work out in Conshy, well, West Conshy actually. Either of you guys own the greenish 4th gen camaro with the bumper busted up a little? I drive by it every day and think it's such a shame.

A friend of mine had work done there on his 91 Jetta last year. So I don't think it'll be a problem for them to work on it as long as its in the curriculum.

Well if you're in Lancaster, get in touch with one of the Lancaster Career & Tech Centers. They might do something if you buy parts. It might only be student cars, but worth a shot. There's already a few cars parked out there already so I don't know.

Can't really help you. I want to get my car in there for paint.

These are pics of the Race Ace ones I have on there now... I don't like 'em... Because of the location I have them at, I could put the 3rd Gen Camaro louvers on there and it should look hot IMO.

Everyone here at work agrees with you that it may look pretty sweet actually. I just need to find the vents... are you aware of anyone local who has a hood or vents they want to sell or give away? Or any sites online where you can purchase them? Thanks!

I don't do anything to my rig unless it serves a purpose I already have holes in the hood from the current louvers. Jeep engines are sealed real well, so it's not a big deal. I'd just be putting catch pans in there over the distributor (which I seal with RTV) and the throttle body (sensors, etc.. as I killed my TPS once already).
