okay guys, what have you got planned/ or thinking about doing to your thirdgen this spring/summer coming up? Hopefully all of us can get our cars worked out to have a good meet in the near future. If anyone has any pictures, i would like to see your cars(i still haven't seen eric's).
I'll go first.
- Install my carpet (ordered-129.00)
- Install Catco cat (installed)
- New plug wires (installed-7mm)
- Horn button kit
- shift kit
- fix driver side door lock
2 pics of my 85 camaro purchased for 1800. came with 350 tpi rebuilt swapped in, and 3.23 gears. interesting 2 tone paint.

I plan on getting my motor put in by april and I wanna do a t56 swap this summer and do the C5 brake conversion hopefully with SSBC 3-piston calipers and suspension mods
motor: 383 with tfs heads or modified vortec's, intake manifold unknown, AS&M runners & port matched plenum, 52mm TB, unknown cam(maybe ZZ-409) and maybe a new wiring harness

nope quite the opposite but I have high hopes and an extra car that I will most likely sell and a b-day coming up in march plus I'll be doing about 90% of the labor my self and buying parts at a time like I have rods already and the C5 brackets and will be ordering some slotted/crossdrill rotors in the coming weeks I hope to have everything completed by the end of the summer
that sounds awesome terrell, that's cool you have the knowledge to complete projects like those. I read so many threads trying to gain know how and facts about these cars and I still wouldn't be comfortable attempting anything big.

By the meet this summer I plan to have my afr headed 383 with ati p-1sc supercharger,t-56,rims,eibachs,bilstiens,sfc's,lca's and relocators,and roll cage put in.It'll be hard to get everything in and running right for the meet but I am going to be working overtime on it.Engine is being built and supercharger will be ordered next month so...
Supreme Member
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh steve you suck now I need to add a wet kit to the list so I can be faster than you
Supreme Member
I'll also have a super ram setup.I don't really know what #'s I'll be running but it will be quick!
Supreme Member
Well,if it sells I'll just be buying an iroc or a 91-92 z28 so I can still use all the same stuff.If it doesn't sell by the time I get everything then I'll keep it.
Supreme Member
Rebuild my engine that way if not this year next year I can race it.
Damn dyno shops

wow, it seems like most of everyone are going to have 11 second thirdgens, I guess I'll be the only slow person left. Installing my carpet and if travis and I swap rear hatches that will be quite a project for me, yet it's nothing compared to what everyone else is doing.
Supreme Member
I will be slow with you
I have some minor mods done, but I dont want to do anything big until I get rid of my lg4. Nice car though I like the color scheme. Some plans I have are to install my bowtie grill/foglights, valve covers, 1.6 rocker arms, and carb spacer. Thats basically it for right now. Sometime this week I might take my car to a shop to have them re-install my dizzy. Im not sure if its in the right position since my car is lacking some power
Here is a pic of my car.

Hey Robby,
What'd you do with your old Camaro?
I didn't even know you had a new one.

Thanks guys. Right now Im takin Chem and West Civ at the Clovis Center on T/TH. Then I have PC & Lan Maintenance, Econ 1B, & Art Appreciation on M/W/F over at city. I also have the speech class you told me about later in the year
What about you?
What about you?Mike your car looks very clean, I always do like black thirdgens. Have you taken it to the track. Del, my 88 iroc started developing alot of problems with the feul system and I ultimately had it donated because of personal/family financial reasons. I hope this car serves as a good project car, as though it has it flaws, that's part of the reason for getting a cheap thirdgen, to learn.
thanks for sharing everyone.

Nah its never been to the track. Soon though, soon. Im curious to see what it would run. Hopefully it wont embarrass me 

I know it would be a good idea to get this 20 year old paintjob repainted, but from what I've read an okay paint job cost like 400 dollars, I'd really have to save.
