Hello everyone,
I am in need of some serious help!!!
I have a 92 Rs Camaro and it is almost all stock with the exception of some interior mods.
I installed a DVD player a Tv and also a new stereo and subwoofers.

I am now looking to start on the exterior and engine.
I am in Scottsdale AZ and was wondering if there where any thirdgen clubs here?

I have no idea where to start but I am currently working with limited funds so nothing too costly to start.

I am looking for a good shop that can give me a good deal on a paint job because the damn paint is starting to peel on the hood.
I want to replace the hood with a cowl induction hood (I have heard that this is strictly for appearance and adds no benefit)

I would like to keep it teal and am thinking of having black flames painted up the front. (not sure how good this will look)

If anyone has any information that might help me please let me know.
I might also need some help with it if anyone who knows what they are doing wants to help me out.

I will attach some pix of the car and some of the stuff I mentioned.



This is my Camaro.


If you see this around Scottsdale you will know it is me.


This is a custom sub enclosure that I built.


Here is the tv and stereo.


Here is the DVD player, It is mounted just under the dash on the passenger side.


Here is the speedometer with the chrome betzel and the custom white face that I made.

 

well i do alot of motor work and tranny stuff,nothinbg huge,but i know my way around, i painted my own car and a few others,i jstu prepped and primed a guy on the boards iroc also.im supposed to do chris"azirocs" next. if ya want any help i can see what i can do...

 

Here's what I would do If I had your car. Expensive yes, but it will look mighty fine!!!
First I would get some dual 3-4" cannon style exhaust tips. One on each side.
When I had my T/A Midas charged me $100 for tips and install.

2nd I'd paint the front grill glossy/shiney black, and paint the area around the headlights black. I'm sure you can get it done pretty cheap, maybe even do it yourself if your good at painting.

3rd, get the Camaro SS style hood painted with a silver or black stripe from the tip of the scoop to right above the license plate on the rear bumper.

Of course depending what tire size you have now I'd get, 255/5016's

That would be one sweet looking Camaro RS!!!

What engine do you have? Did 91-92 RS' all have the TBI 305? Just get your basic mods, H.O. Intake and hi-flow filter, headers and muffler. Maybe even 3.23 gears or bigger.

Again, that's what I would do. But that's cool you have 16 inch wheels, 15's suck!!

 

hey, go here www.AZFBA.com register and go into the "interested in being a member" forum.

we meet up on saturdays at the scottsdale pavillions (start around 4 ish)

we can always use another 3rd gen

camarostud: whenever i get my damn power window motor, ill bring the car by and let u have some of those interior pieces as well. btw.. check up on some steroe equiptment for me as well.. i not need the best thing out there.. but i need something


GTP.. I got ur 15's right here buddy

 

well what are you wanting,some subs,highs,or mids? you want em to make you kick pods like i made for my car? i just got em done actually....i can get you some really good mb quartz tens that wold hit so hard itd make u sick for 100 bux, i can get a good amp to push em,its like 1000 watts i think he said for 180 , my neighbor gets stuff wholesale,so lemme know exactly what you want.

 

if in the long run you want to go carb then i would buy a cowl, but if you plan on staying with fools injection then i would get an ss hood

 

Well I already have the subs and all the audio equiptment I need I am just looking into the motor.
I had a bit of bad luck that is actually good yesterday.
I went to the emissions testing center and they could not test me car because they found a crack all the way around my exhaust pipe that conects to my muffler from the engine so needless to say I will be getting myself a new exhaust system tomorrow.

I am going for the magnaflo high performance muffler and I think I am going to get a new high performance catalitic converter while I am at it.

I will post some pix as soon as I get them.

Hey someone mentioned that they could paint,
I need a whole car paint job.
I am keeping the car teal and want to put black flames up the front of the car.

does anyone know the cost of this or know anyone who would do it for just the thrill of painting a thirdgen :-)

One last thing if anyone here is good with photoshop could you take my car pic or one of another thirdgen camaro and do a picture of a teal car with black flames and post it here Pleeeeeeese!!!!!

 

i do the paint,im doing azirocs red with white pearl flames, im doing mine w/ black metallic flames over yellow, primers 150 for the good primer,or 50 for the cheaper primer, paints between 2 and 400,clears around 80 and you need hardener and some otehr small stuff,i avhe all the stuff to do it at my house,ive done a few alreay, i ahve pics of what ive done so far if u want to see them,this pic is photoshoppec,but how im doing mine pretty much,azirocs the same type of patter ,but diff.olors

 

I would show you mine but can't get the picture to post. How do I post pictures?

 

they make SS hoods for both carb and tpi cars just gotta specify. Anyways start on motor work, your car already looks pretty nice.

 

Hey CamaroStud1988,
What part of AZ do you live in?
And how long does it take to paint the car?
Do you have a booth to paint in?
I am also wondering if you can take that pic of your car and make it teal instead of yellow so I can get an idea of what it will look like, or if you have any other flame color that you might think looks good against the teal car do that too.

 

to do the prep adn paint like 5 days,at the most, i could use a booth on base,or i jsut enclose an area and clean the air real good n its jstu as good as a booth. i can have someone do the photoshop to a car teal w/ flames,if u do it teal,why not silver flames or some ghost flames? im in glendale off the 101 and northern, i can also do interior stuff

 

could you explain ghost flames?
I think I have a good idea but would like more details

 

their hard to see,lol, like u put some metallic or pearl in the clear and do it in the flame pattern, so when light hits it u can see it faintly,they look really sweet when their done right. its hard to see em in pictures,if u see em in person their bad ***

 

i had a friend of mine from the boards do this for ya,hes workin on a better one

 

camarostud1988, i can get the boothon the base how, are you stationed there. Because i am too.

 

no,my uncle is military n i think he can get me on their,i know a few ppl who work on luke who said they can

 

one more

 

cool, i am working on my engine bay right now, the i am going to sand it, and put custom door handles on her.

 

Hi guys these pix are really helping and they look great but could someone do the pik with black flames on the teal car and silver flames on the teal car?

 

here,u can thank daniel buck"error404" he did these for me so i could get em to you.

 

hey camarostud do you have any pics of any work you have done i would like to see the Quality of you work. also what brand of paint do you use, where do you get it from, and how much does it usaly coast?

 

well,ive done a few other c ars since mine ,and mine was my first attempt, ill take a picture tomorrow,theirs a post in this forum from the 86 iroc i just primed.im painting chris's iroc next"aziroc" when its done ill get some of taht also. heres one of mine before the front got hurt.,all my other pics are on my other computer thats being fixed.... i dont remember what i used,i painted it back in oklahoma before i moved here last year. i buy my paint out here at sherwin williams,the colors around 200-400 for a gallon and the clears around 90, hardener isnt much, primer for single stage is about 60 bux n expensive primer for 2 stage is 150.

 

Does anyone have an extra torque arm mount laying around?

 

Well just thought I would put up some pix of the work in progress.
I mentioned that the emissions testers founf a hole in my exhaust so I had top replace the pipe before I could be tested.
Needless to say I put on a whole new exhaust system.

Here is a pic of the hole in the exhaust system.


Here is another angle of the break.


Here is a picture of the old exhaust while my car was up on the lift.


I ended up going with the Magnaflow high performance exhaust system which turned out to be a very good thing it looks great and sounds even better. (It has a great rumble, It added about 15 to 20 horsepower, and it certainly does not sound like a **** burner)


Here is the new exhaust fully installed but still up on the lift.


I added some chrome tips to give it a finished look and here is the final product.


As soon as I get a sound clip I will post it for everyone to hear.
Tell me what you think!!!

 

82z
Do you want a stock arm?

 

no... just the mount

 

I just took mine off last weekend. I'm on the east coast. Did you try any junk yards?

 

nah... I was just wondering if anyone had one sitting around. I can still use mine. Just thought it would be great if I had an extra to work with.

 

heres the help i have for you

that pic in your sig bugs me heh

so i made this at about 3 am wooo






if you dont like it, give me some more pics of your car and what not and i can make something better later lol, i just used some stuff from that big ace pic you already had

EDIT: heres a lighter version if you like it

 

that looks more like somebody cut your exhust with a tourch to me more then a brake

 

when i did my emissions i had lots of exhaust leaks n they still passed me,lol, i dont wanna put ne money into exhaust since im about to throw in a 383 stroker...it almost loox like ur exhaust was cut w/ a plasma cutter or a grinder

 

yeah, no way can that clean of a break be from a rock on the road or something

 

Metal fatigue...
