ill let the crooked headunit, loose seat covers, and broken tail lights slide because its a 5spd Seriously tho it looks like a solid car, just a few very minor things u should fix. Check a junkyard for taillights, they are everywhere.

ya, the inner threads for the head rest seat belt guids stripped out for both seats, so they just flop around, I dont think it's too safe.

The pod for the a/c radio has three of the clips brocken ,
my local junk yard wanted $90 for a dirty pair of honey comb lights. I thought it was too much.

It's been about 1.5 months since the spring install, and their still breakin in, getting smoother each weekend I drive to bakersfield from the san fernando valley. I want to get better shocks / struts to improve the ride, definitly feels it could be smoother. -- WHen I did install I left the insulator out becuase the old one wasn't in any condition to be reused, and I haven't been able to get another set, plus I was told the there's not susposed to be an insulator on the rear end from pep boys.

my doors jump up and down when I go into a little pot holes or bumps.. anyone else get that ? I replaced the pin and bushing, im thinking about the locking mechanism inside door maybe.

nate- still got that louver with your name on it.

NOS FLOOR MATS?????????????????????

i must be missing the point.

1st what the f*ck is nos? are they refuring to
nitrous oxide systems

2nd what dose nitrous oxide system have any thing to do with your interior? or what dose nitrouse oxide system have any thing to do with your floor mats/stering wheels/lots of stickers???

3rd do you have nitrouse oxide system?

4th you have watched way to much of the fast and the furious!!!!!

"hay man you got nos, damm that thing must be fast. to bad its 40's technology wow my grandparents used that in there ww2 airplans. cool man"

LAMER]

i like your car what size wheels are those? i would have chose a better floor mat set up! but other than that its lookin good.

sorry i had to get that off my chest and you said your comments and criticism are welcome!

Well mine were a birthday present, and they match the car being red in all. .. yes I have used nos, the octane booster nos's brand octane booster.. but I know that doesn't cut it. ha

I dont know how high the top center part of the wheel wells are from the ground, but I'll measure this weekend for you.

I would never get anything with a label on it that I did not have, such as NOS floor mats. Even though I like the look of them, I don't have NOS and never will (cheater juice) so I will never have those floor mats, just like I would never have floor mats that said GTA or Trans AM, because my thirdgen isn't one.


Not bad car you have there otherwise.

I had to choose between the NOS and the XR-Racing floor mats for my car....got the XR's because I didn't want anyone to be thinking that I had NOS...lol.. My friend had the NOS ones in his 84 non/nitrous T/A...they did look pretty sweet.. I didn't even want to get the stupid r!cer XR-Racing mats, but they were a decent price for the pair, matched my color scheme for the car, and were HEAVY rubber...not like those light rubber and fabric craps that fold up and get under your gas pedal.

Hey, anyone wanna buy a set of blue XR-Racing floor mats?? Pulled them out before I sold the car. If the woman had to get my car, she sure as hell wasn't gonna keep my mats too!

Ride Height

V6camaroman -

- Driver side front p215-70-r15 Wheel well = 26.5"

- rear p235-60-r15 Wheel well = 27"


rubber mats are easy to clean, just wash them off and their dry in no time.
