Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. 3 Attachment(s) Hey I've got a 92 RS in the factory purple haze/hawaiian orchid paint job. It has a factory L98 with the B4C package and 700R4. The story of the car actually started in 92 when it was purchased by my grandpa for my grandma. He bought it for $18k, we still have the window sticker. This was her daily driver all the way up to 2007 when she passed away. Even though she didn't take the best care of it (damaged front gfx, small dings here and there, scratches on the hood and roof) she loved it. The car was always kept running in top shape, being that's all that mattered to her, get from A to B without breaking down. In 2010 I took interest in the car since it was just sitting in the garage collecting dust not being driven at all (my grandpa actually hated this car, not good for bad backs lol). So I took the car and started working on it, it need a few things here and there, basic tune up parts. Once I finally got it working nicely I took it to get smog and it passed with flying colors, but I realized soon after the smog that the transmission was starting to go. So after driving on the slipping tranny for a couple of months it finally went, had it towed to a shop and got it rebuilt. Fast forward to a couple of months ago, I bought a few things for the car to personalize it a bit (magnaflow cat-back, k&n air filters). It's still not in the best shape on the exterior, but the car is running more sound than ever I believe. This past weekend I took a small piece of 3M Di-Noc carbon fibre vinyl and covered a portion of the front gfx that sits under the grill, to me it looks 5 million times better in the front just from that one single piece I laid down. And now, onto some pictures: |

It came with an L98 350? Must have been custom order, because the biggest engine available in the RS was L03 5.0 Found this on Wikipedia 1992 1992 was the final year of the third generation Camaro. A "25th Anniversary Heritage Edition" option had been planned with Corvette aluminum cylinder heads, tubular exhaust headers, and 6-speed manual transmission, but this was scrapped in favor of a "Heritage Package" option (RPO Z03) which amounted to nothing more than a graphics package of badges and rally stripes. All 1992 Camaros received a "25th Anniversary" badge on the dashboard. The 1992 version of the Camaro B4C (Special Service Package) got the addition of 1LE brakes and suspension, making it perhaps the best performing third generation Camaro available with air conditioning. A total of 589 B4Cs were sold. The B4C option was also deemed popular enough to be carried on to the fourth generation model. 1992 Z28s received some of the "leftovers" from its Corvette cousin, which switched from Tuned Port Injection to the updated LT1 engine series in 1992. Some Z28s received the cast aluminum style intake runners from the TPI Corvette instead of the regular Camaro smooth tube ones. The RPO 1LE option combination, identical to the previous year in specification and option requirements, had its highest production year of the third generation Camaro, with 705 cars so equipped. As mentioned, the 1LE brakes were included with B4C in 1992, accounting for 589 of the 705 built. This means that only 116 "true" 1LE-only cars (A/C delete, non-Special Service Package) were built for the year. It should be noted that the vast majority of the 1LE cars built during the 1989-1992 period were very sparsely equipped vehicles. Since they were intended for racing, where extra weight is a disadvantage and interiors are often gutted after purchase, most were very lightly optioned. The majority of 1LE Camaros had the base interior, with no power options, cruise control, or even floor mats. Some were even built without radios (201 cars were built as "radio delete" in 1992). An "oddball" Camaro equipped with a combination of both RPO 1LE and luxury or appearance options, such as a deluxe leather interior or the Z03 Heritage Package, is therefore a rare and potentially collectible vehicle. This was also the last year of production at the Camaro's assembly plant in Van Nuys, California. The last third-generation Camaro produced was a red Z28 coupe on August 27, 1992 that features signatures of the assembly line workers and is privately owned. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. ^ that is really interesting, I knew the car would be rare but damn..589? I wonder how many of them came in the factory purple? lol. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. I think quite alot of purple B4C cars were made. Any other RS or B4C guys out there? |

Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Dude! Nice! Love the digital instuments and the seats! Where did you get those (dash and seats)!? |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Seats were done locally at a small one-man operation where he works out of a garage by his house. The gauges are Dakota Digital, I had them set the odometer to 177,000 to match what I took out, and now have 257,000, so about 7 or 8 years for them. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Very nice. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Give me your digital gauges. NOW! :nod: |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Those would look Gooood in mine with red font. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Be prepared for sticker shock with the Dakota Digital, they've gone up since I bought mine (expensive then). I'm not sure they'll do red for you though because it's hard to see in bright light, that's why mine are the color they are, and they're still hard to see in bright light. This is the set I have, you'll need to send your current gauge panel in to have them retro theirs into it and takes 90 days. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd214.htm Dakota Digital stock the 82-89 style, and it costs a little more than half of the 90-92 style. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd168.htm Here's another option that should be available soon, if not already and costs quite a bit less. They may do red for you, but don't quote me on that. http://www.intellitronix.net/intellitronix_005.htm There's a thread on them here... https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...l-cluster.html |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Sweet. When I win the Lotto I can go get that. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. I think I'll give this old thread a bump. |

He operates a shop out of a garage around the corner from his house, about 3 miles from my house, so really convenient. I had the seats and door panels done first, and I let him use his imagination on the doors. The headliner, sail panels and visors were done later to match the seats. I think I have about $1300 into the upholstery. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Those are some nice seats. They look soft and comfertable. |

Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Only when the windows and top are up.

Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. That is a sweet ride. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. 4 Attachment(s) Well let's see. In 2005 while I was in 12th grade, I traded a conversion van for a 1984 firebird s/e. It had been sitting for ten years, maybe more. Finally got it running and it was a rusty pile but I loved it. Ended up wrecking it. After that I really wanted a black iroc. After I graduated in 2006 I found a sweet deal on a 88 iroc. It needed a tranny and some odds and ends but that car ended up looking awesome. But I needed more speed. So I sold it to a buddy and bought a 1994 z28 six speed. Had that car for almost 4 years. After dumping alot of money and blowing rears I sold it, and bought a truck and a quad. Recently went to a car show, realized how much I missed the muscle car scene, came back, made some calls, bought a roller, and a motor, and some goodies. We'll see how this goes. The firebird Attachment 384168 The two camaros Attachment 384169 The truck Attachment 384170 The project Attachment 384171 |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Oh the roller. It's a 91 rs. Came with a t5, and not much else. Got a 350 for it, some Long tubes, custom x member a friend made, true duals, 125 shot, I put a grant steering wheel in it, lower control arms, adjustable panhard bar, I'm sure there's more im forgetting. It will be getting a custom cage, and it'll probably be rolling around in primer for a while. |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. That's a sweet project. What 350 did you get for it? |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Also how do you plan on doing true duals? |

Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. That'll look sweet. But I would get a better hood before painting it IMO. it's gonna be a pain to get a new hood AFTER painting. Scoops and Cowl induction hoods have performance value as well |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Well i already have the hood for it ima be switching from blisters to louvers to make it look different all the time. Also yeah but i like the look of the iroc hood |
Re: RS Camaro owners, post a pic, your story, and some info about your car. Wow, just realized the engine in that Norsemans Camaro is huge. Look at the size of the heads and that air cleaner! |
