I just wanted to share my car here. It's a 2002 and I bought her 2 months ago in Texas with 47,000 miles, M6, stock exhaust, SLP lid. Everything else on the car is pretty much stock for the most part. REALLY clean so i'll let the pictures do the talking from here.

More pics before delivery

First time I seen her..Never seen the car until the day it arrived, only pictures. I had bought it from a dealer and then a GM car inspector go and look everything over since I couldn't be there before I made the final decision.

Thanks guys! Trying to keep her nice like the day I bought it

Bought another tail panel at a local pic n pull for $20 and painted it black. I think it's a much better look in my opinion

Already did the Berger panel mod - looks good! Be prepared to spend a lot of $$ on the car - once you start, there is no end!

I've never seen an exhaust shop install on a car with the suspension unloaded.

Also did they raise the car with that on the pinch welds or did they actually line it up just right for the subframe? Hope they didn't crack your fender tabs.

Otherwise, clean car looks like somebody got rid of their weekend toy.

That's the first time i've even seen an exhaust installed on a car believe it or not and they lined it up just right on the subframe

Just got the tint on over the weekend!

I figured i'd start this thread back up as a build there so here a go It was well over a year ago since the last post and a lot has changed with the camaro. Shortly after the last post I bought some C5 Z06 wheels locally and wrapped them in continental DWs..I just had to get rid of the stock snowflakes lol



A couple months later I bought some Texas speed headers and their y pipe and had that put in. I felt the difference with this for sure.



Now the mod bug has taken me over at this point and I need more power lol so I decided to do a H/C setup. I chose the 228r cam since I wanted something that would give me decent MPGs I suppose and just ported/milled my 241s. Here's another thread for that..

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...228r-241s.html

That was in January and the only thing i did before June was a tick adj master cylinder when June came around I decided I needed to do my suspension. Ended up ordering weld in subframe connectors, on car adjustable lower control arms, weld in relocation brackets for them, adjustable pan hard bar, driveshaft safety loop, adjustable torque arm, QA1 front and rear adjustable shocks with a 300lb spring on the front and lastly BMR springs on the back. It's been about a month since I received all the parts and i've been putting them on here and there. Just put the coils, springs, and shocks on last week and boy the difference is amazing. Oh yeah and I got some torq thrust Ms with 275/315 555Rs in the back now. She looks a lot difference now!
