Well lets see....still taking it easy on the new motor.....it loves the fully synthetic.....I had the *** end towards the east all the way thru first, snatched 2nd and the *** end went west, then she hooked and I saw a cop about 100 yds down the road....I put it in 5th and coasted like a lost senior citizen dazed and confused.....

Installed my 92/92 setup, repaired the pcv system and vacuum lines. Now I need to get it retuned for my new setup and see what she'll put down with a fresh rearend and another go fast mod. Then off to the track!!

Just finished installing my rebuilt transmission, no 3-4 gears. Tomorrow I will top off oil and take it for its first drive since the trans went out a month ago.

Well its been full on winter now, had a good snow, an ice storm, and down to single digits. So officially SUV season, and camaro hibernation season. So off topic... Who else is planning on C5 shopping soon?

I may be the minority but I'm not cray about the FRC body in the rear mostly. I like the slope of the regular coupe so much better. I know the z us twice the car, but aesthetics wise I love the standard targa coupe.

Finally got my Camaro on the road again.
Before it was whining whining alot. So I disassembled the rear end and pulled the axle shafts. This is what I found ....



Ordered a new Axle and installed today with new wheel bearing and seal. Reassembled.
Its soooo quiet. Now I hear an exhaust leak. D'oh!

Put drier sheets in the intake exhaust, all around the interior and under the car. Keeps mice away. I have been doing this for 4 years, never had a problem. Unplugged the battery and out fuel stabilizer in her. All done for the year.

Since it was 50 degrees today I installed some Founders 3 piece poly joint control arms and took the heater hose off the springs and re-installed the isolators..


feels and handles soo much better now..


a bushing on each factory control arm I was able to push right out with my thumb

glad I changed those shitty things out.
