WW....you've got the RS 5.0 rims...swap those on yourself or did you get the car like that? I WANT those rims............. The good old mags are boring..and don't even start me on the rallys...ugh..

 

Woah woah, wait a minute..you've got a z28 blistered hood AND a foglight grill too, PLUS RS 5.0 rims on a 3.1 car??! Talk about a freaky combo...AWESOME though..just something I never see. I want all of it...

 

Those arn't RS 5.0 wheels. No such thing. Those are the factory wheels off of 91-92 5.0 and 5.7 Z-28's. So is the blister hood and grill. Can't tell if the car has the aero wing or not. The 16" wheels were an option for the RS.

 

Studd...not so.. I believe in the years 90-92 they made a 5.0 RS Camaro. It wasn't TPI like the Z28's, it was a TBI motor. There are 3 or 4 around here.. All of the RS 5.0's that I have seen got those rims..it was the identifier of the 5.0 engine. The 3.1's got the regular mags. As far as whether those rims came on the Z's, I couldn't say. Not many 90-92 Z's around here at all...almost all are Irocs. Can't even recall seeing a 90-92, in detail anyways...

And yeah, I know the blistered hood was factory in the Z's...I dunno whether I prefer it or the louvered hood..they're both nice. Anything's better than the boring flat base model hoods.

 

The rims are the 1991-1992 style Z28 rims. They are 16x8. They did not come with my car. The car origionally came with the concave painted 15" rims. The blisters were added to the flat RS hood. The blisters were also something brought in for the 1991-1992 Z28s. 1990 was the last year for IROCs (the IROCs had the louvers in the hood) so 1991-1992 there were only Z28's instead. The fog lights were from an IROC and I bought the fog light grill brand new, and a brand new interrior stock switch.

I want to get the high-rise spoiler but that involves filling the holes in the rear quearters left from the 3-piece one and getting a new deck lid for the high-rise one. Some people like the high-rise, some don't, I do, but it's too expensive for me. (As of now at least) Also the 1991-1992 had the little "indents" in the ground effects in front of the tires. I don't have those ground effects, the normal RS ones were fine with me.

Thanks for the compliments!!

 

No problem man..it's a real pretty car. Literally, everything you've done and the stuff you said you want to do, I want to too...d*mn I want your car. I love the high rise spoilers myself.. Only thing I can do without is foglights..I like the look but I'd rather chrome chickenwire the grille.

 

just to let u know that those wheels came on every camaro in 91 92 that had a v8 in it. yes alot of rs cars came with the 305 tbi while the z cars came with 305 or 350 tpi engines.just to let ya know.

kolby

 

hmm, why all the fuss about these 3.4 v6's unless your putting a turbo on em..... just go with a nice healthy v8

 

 

i got a 92 rs with a 3.1 here it is

 

very nice:hail:

 

thanx dude just had it repianted 2 years ago

 

Damn, Dans car looks almost like mine I gotta change the looks somehow. I need more money

 

Nixon .... yes so. In the years 91-92 they made a TBI 5.0 (RS) along with a TPI 5.0 (Standard) and 5.7 (Optional) which were the Z-28's. If you got your car with the TBI 5.0 you could as an option get the 16" wheels and tires of the Z-28's as I said before. As far as those wheels being the identifier of the 5.0 that is totally false. But they were definitely standard on the Z-28's

 

Yeah, I know about the engine options...3.1 standard for RS's, with the 5.0 as an option..and then the obvious order of engines for the Z's. So the TBI 5.0's got the standard ugly mags as well, with the 16's as only an option? That's weird. All I know is, I've never seen a TBI 5.0 with the 15's...they've all got the 16's. Although maybe the people with the extra bit of cash to spend for the 5.0 decided to pretty it up a bit with extra options, who knows. I just find it a strange coincidence.

 

Well the dealers probably ordered the cars like that from the factory with 16" wheel so they could get a few bucks more from unsuspecting customers or the customers wanted it like that cause they looked a whole lot better. A few hundred bucks financed over 4 or 5 years isn't a whole lot added to your monthly payment. If you still think that it's a coincedence, here's some research to back my claims.

Heh alright man..I'm not trying to start an argument or anything. I haven't done research on that and I'm not gonna pretend that I did...I just kinda common-sensed that conclusion up. Hmm....if that's what actually happened...d*mn dealerships. I still would've paid the extra money for the rims, but to be sneaky like that...that's why I avoid them.

 

:lala: :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

Wow...SOMEONE'S a tad bored!

 

lol had to get the last word in. But you should talk you posted right back. Post *****.

 

Last word? I told you I wasnt gonna argue you man! And yeah...I am a post *****..what can I say. Look at my #..it's in the 600's for a reason.

 

**it does it look like I'm arguing? I havn't said one thing about wheels off a 91-92 camaro in my last 2 posts. Your my hero :hail:

 

Lol..you wanna talk about post *****, check Tom out! He's in the 3000's I think. Oh wait, thats cause he's a genius... For being an idiot, me hitting 600 aint bad at all!

 

lol fair enough. If you want to see a post ***** check out Mark A. Sheilds over 13000 posts and going strong.

 

Chrichy...

 

yep, later. Nice arguing w/u.

 

Here is a picture of my car with the 15" concave style painted rims. This is before the blisters and when I had the rear window louvers on it and before the tinted windows.

 

Pretty.. You had the louvers? Why'd you get rid of them? The annoying rattling noises? The fact that automatic car washes never cleaned them good? I still got mine on and I've had several offers to sell them..I might too, I'm tired of them..but they really do set my car out.

 

He got rid of the louvers because he didn't want the 70's trailer park trash look anymore. :rockon:

 

Oh you're just begging to be slapped..heh.. This look trailerpark trash to ya?

 

Ahhh do I really have to answer that. Just see above. Ok I'll answer. It looks like a stock RS with a puny engine and trailer park trash louvers.

 

LOL, i actually like the louvers. I wish i had a white set for my car. Mine aparently had them on it but they were stolen off it right before i went to look at it 4 years ago when i obught it.

Ah WWasem the white wheels i hated those things.......mine are in my basement. I never kept them clean. You was the car..you hit the brakes nad theyd turn black. far as im concerned ya cant beat chrome.

 

I got rid of them for a few reasons. One, I wanted to tint all my windows so I no longer needed that to provide privacy. Two, it makes the care look more sleek without them I think. As for automatic car washes, I never go to those. They also rattled at high speeds and such sometimes.

90RS3.1 - Yes they were a b*tch to clean I can totally second that man! I hated touching the brakes after cleaning them! My new 1991-1992 style rims have white painted inserts as well. But they don't get nearly as dirty as the other ones did!

 

Studd..back when I took that photo, the car was stock. Notice the screw-on tips...that was a bad decision on my part. But thankfully, you can now suck on my 3 1/4 in. chrome tips. :P Sure it might be a small engine..but it's not the smallest to ever grace a 'maro.... And hey, I'll race ya any time. I once beat an 84 5.0 Z-28. As far as the condition of his car, welllll.........

 

ok i got the Hi-Flo cat from CIRCA X AUTOMOTIVE PERFORMANCE in Haltom City, TX it was 95$ then they installed it for another 40$

the dual fan setup i was introduced to it when i met a guy that had it down to a 4th gen v6 firebird, it dropped him a whole second on his track times and raised fuel economy, im going to pay him 140 for parts/labor when i get the money!

lasty my car was in a wreck 2 1/2 weeks ago and when i was ordering parts i saw that the IROC front end/hood was cheaper then the standard stuff i had, well now i have everything on but the front spoiler (it was totaled and im looking for a new one) and the hood louver(hood didnt come with!)
so i was just wondering if you knew where to get them cheap??

 

basically for the fan setup you have to run 2 for it to do anything alot of my friends have found out that one does nothing

the one i have seen has PVC going into the throttle body then splitting into a y, then those running to front opposites of the car, then the fan being right behind the cone filters

the fans r grounded to the car and rigged to the battery and for them to come on there rigged so they only come on when the car is running at full throttle,

he bought the fans from a boat shop that produce like 200-250CFM a peice

 

lol well you asked me what does the car in your pic look like, not to read your mind and tell you how the car looks like now. So now not only do you have trailer park trash louvers but you've put r i c e 3 1/4 in. chrome tips on . I'd take you up on that race if you wern't all the way across the country.

 

Plenty of power to cruise!!!!!

 

??????????

Anyway my 'vert bird has a 3.1

 

Oooh you really know how to push my buttons dont you? And no, 3 1/4 in. is not r!ce. That is MUSCLE. r!ce is 5 and up. Or a teardrop muffler. To call 3 1/4 in. r!ce is, to put it blatantly, stupid. How many muscle cars have you seen around running 3 1/2, 4 in., 4 1/2 in. chromes? I've seen PLENTY.

 

Yea so have I, but most of them have the HP to warrant it . 3 1/4 coming off of a 2 or 2 1/2 is just wrong. Don't get me wrong crome is cool just sometimes bigger is not always better. Yea I would call 4 or 4 1/2 r!ce. What are you trying to imitate with a 4 or 4 1/2 pipe, a turbo diesel truck? Personally I think exhaust should be heard not seen. What's so attractive about exhaust pipe and muffler even if it is chrome? So what's next for you? The oversize aluminum tri level aero spoiler painted black to offset your louvers?

 

It's all about looks...and big chrome tips look good. 2 1/2 in. looks chinsy. And I'm never putting a spoiler on that car unless it's one of the high rise factory spoilers..but I doubt that. In terms of appearance, the next things I'm doing are getting those factory 16 in. rims and if I can find one for cheap, a Z28 or IROC hood....either louvered or blistered. Although I'm getting a cowl if I can get it for cheaper.
