Re: f-body status list...
In between. Runs and rips, but still not done with accident repairs (DIE UPS)

i put kicking ass, even though i am bone stock, i freaking raped a 94-95ish mustang gt yesterday... from a roll... in an A4. so far im 6-0. the only real wins that mean anything to me though are the mustang and the bmw z4 i killed about a month or so ago. and actually the grand prix gtp as well only because i messed up launching and spun up to 50mph or so. lol.
-------------------------
on a side note... im going to photoshop my own "OWNED" picture for camaro owners.. a photo of a camaro spanking the hell out of another car(maybe a mustang, just because its like an epic battle, lol) and it's going to read "CamarOWNED!!1!" or something to that liking. if you guys think you could help me with ideas how to set it up, PM me or get me on AIM - "flatlander757" DO NOT REPLY TO THIS IN THIS THREAD.

Don't know why i put kickass, but since i put those headers on, i feel like i can kick some ass now. Suspension needs to get done badly, put i can definitely put at fight against someone now, unless i'm completely out of there league.

Check out your radiator cap first. I swore on my life I had a blown head based on mass air bubbles in the radiator and overflow, ended up being mainly a cap that would not pressurize the system and lowered the boiling point dramaticly.
My '85 Z28 is runs like Bin laden from SEALs but this weekend I need to throw on some tie rods and brakes. Then it's off to the sniff test before the state suspends me, it's only 16 months overdue what's the big freakin deal
Plans for this winter are the same as last resolve alot of body panel issues & sub frame isssue.
Sucks having a car that runs strong but physically is becoming intolerable to look at.
Oh, one last thing, I am having an issue with repeat failures of the thermostat gasket. Is there a massive defect with the water neck on the TPIs? I'm going to check for warpage this time, last time I put a stat in I had a hunch the neck was having problems, but nobody had the right replacement in stock.

Re: f-body status list...
lol well my baby runs her ass off, i decided not to be a biatch anymore and used both nitrous shots and she layed down 340 on the dyno last weekend (its been raining so the air has been much cooler than ususal) but i recently purchased a ls6 with a 6 speed tranny to throw in, now i just need to get the odds and ends to get the swap going, hope to be done around the holidays. i recently put it down on some fool in a evo on thurseday, he started running his damn lip at a red light about how he smokes camaros on a daily, then had a nerve to ask me was my car a ss??? wtf, i have rs badges all over the damn car but the way he got spanked he should think i have an ss...smh

Re: f-body status list...
oh by the way i think i may be able to get a bit more out of my new rebuilt 3800 it needs to be tuned a bit more and how it runs when the throttle is wide open needs to be twerked a bit.

My girlfriend and I have an '02 Escape and those things move. I was shocked as hell when i first hit the gas in it! It can spin the wheels (front wheel drive, mind you) all the way thru first gear and into second. And they get to 80mph pretty quickly. A lot more performance than you would expect from a small SUV. Don't feel too bad, just start modding.

My maro runs like a fart in the wind... cut her loose and she's gone. BUT.. I still have the #3 cylinder way low PSI problem, trans needs rebuilt (I think), and could use some freshening up: new carb, new headers, new front rims and tires (ones on there are way to skinny for me), new brake pads, power brake booster, etc.
And would someone get their ass up to Philly so I can race someone??? No one ever wants to race around here. WTF???

Re: f-body status list...
Well my car was down for about a 4 month period while I replaced the tranny, lifters, pushrods, and connecting rod bearings. I finally got it running last night and had it checked for codes. It says I have a cam position error but thats it.
The worst part is that last night around 2am it suddenly wouldnt start, so I could be in the process of replacing a couple more things. HOORAY!
