from rice to muscle...now lost

i know nothing about american cars...so i need help, i have a 99 camaro

1...are the exhaust bolt on?
2...what are the engines + hp i can drop right into mines
3...good sites for parts engines and tranny
4...I bet my 88 civic can beat whatever you have
5...i need this info step by step cause i know nothing...

go to fbodymotorsports to look at parts they have pretty much everything. the exhasut do bolt on. teh engine depends on wat u already have. if it is an ls1 u dont need to change the engine. and if it is a manual it is probly a t56 and thta will b fine.

nice title, good change. dont change the engine if you have the LS1. details in sig.

um your 88 civic with a blown piston can beat my camaro???? id like to see that, so i could laugh at myslef for weeks on end.




and then cry.

about a month ago it would of been able to...but neways...my camaro is a 99 v6 and on the engine it sais 3800....i dont know what a ls1 is

LS1 is the V8 engine and it kicks the V6s ass all over the place.

Your civic can beat whatever we have? I have a 14 year old dog with arthritis in his front left leg...that would be a close race with a 88 civic with 3 working pistons. Can't say it wouldn't be fair either since both of em are only running on "3 legs." Oh man im not just smart, im funny smart. :grinyes: lol.

But cmon for real its a camaro forum. You should expect/deserve coments like this for that :rolleyes: All in good fun though haha. :smokin:

hahaha...i know and thats why i had to make the switch over to muscle....so the LS1 is what i want in my car? and would my car run a little better if i pull of my exhaust that has a clogged cat?

LS1 isn't a direct swap. Need to swap the complete engine and wiring harness, trans, and most suspension. Maybe driveshaft too.
Clogged cat - get yourself a pair of pacesetter headers (best for the v6 camaro, and better wuality than the v8 ones in terms of fit), a high-flow cat, and a magnaflow or rumbler catback.

yeah, with all that is involved in swapping an LS1 into a 3800 equipped car, you would be better off selling the one you have now, and buying a camaro that already had the V8 to begine with.

im not gonna sell my 99...its too beautiful, im more for pulling chicks then racing dudes

racing dudes !?! Sooo tell me again why you were driving an '88 Civic

oh wait, I read that wrong

pulling chicks !?! Sooo tell me again why you were driving an '88 Civic

$130 and easy as hell to install

my guess is he drove the civic, the same reason i drove a 77 oldsmobile, it was the first car we had, and he stepped up to a camaro. Lets give him props for making progress, instead of being dicks about what he drove before.

but i will say, that if you are more into looks, than performance,

A. youre in the wrong subforum
B. check out www.RKsport.com they have lots of aftermarket dress up items for the fourth gen camaros.

dont get me wrong...who dosent like to give a good view of tailights while blowing by someone...i really just want to do as much as i can to my v6

I have to give my compliments to 4cyl (mod) even tho im a trans am fan, ive seen some crazy shiznat come from a 4cyl engine. Even tho you may have graduated and playin with the big boys now, I beat my 92 silverado can beat your civic...

Ha i'd out run u with 2 flats and a broken driveshaft! :evillol: :evillol:

haha...so much hate in this thread, it kinda hurts my heart.....dont sleep on ricers, underestimating can lead to a tragic loss

well, cut the crap, everyone talking shit post some times, and back up what you have to say. scans of some time slips wouldnt hurt either ;)

You know... It's not too bad having somone's taillights sail past you if you're getting a hummer.... If you shift too soon you might just break the seal... It might even be better if you just pull over, a proper hummer is more important than winning a race. Especially when you get less than 8 mpg... You might have to walk the hell home if you' re getting a real good one.

yunno, u came into this forum and one of the first things u said is "i bet my civic can beat whatever you have". i have 4 possible races for you, not 5 cuz my car isn't running
1. my dad's '70 SS 396 el camino w/ EFI
2. my dad's '87 buick GNX (if you don't know what that is, then you probably won't win)
3. my bro's '67 malibu SS w/ a blower
4. my bro's dad's '67 buick GS w/ a chevy 454 that has all the goodies

i'll tell you that the slowest of the 4 runs a 12.7, i'll let you imagine what the fastest runs

if you ever want to race your civic while it has a blown piston, i'll get my camaro and we'll push the cars a 1/4 mi. lol. i bet ur civic isn't as pretty as my camaro :-P (i feel kinda like a fag, claiming cosmetic superiority instead of power superiority...)

if you like your car for looks and nothing else having owned a civic in your past go to this site

All I have to say....is that is One HELL of a List of cars...That is the kind of muscle i dream about....

your gonna end up spending as much as it would cost to drop a v8 in it
