Changed the rear shocks , I was going to start the spark plug change but after about 20 min of trying to just get 1 out I said **** it I'll take it to chevy!! on to try and figure out how to change the front struts.

I know that feeling from personal experience but with time you'll eventually get to where you want to be. I wish I would have taken before and after pictures of my car to show people how far my car has come along. I changed my car's visors with new ones. Driver's side broke off and the passenger's side was worn out badly

Dropping my car off at my buddies shop to get fluids changed, clutch installed, and new shifter installed. Should be on the road by the weekend. Next stop...tires.

With hard winter finally breaking, I fired her up today. After months of dormancy, one flick of the key and vrbooom! She sprang to life, rumbling like an angry pit bull. Then she slowly calmed down to purring like a jungle cat. Ready to rock.

Spent all weekend working on the Camaro. It's been raining for 1.5 days and in the 40's but I'm glad I knocked a lot of work out.
Installed Volant Intake from one of our great vendors, took Whisper lid off. Small sop gain, big engine growl gain. Happy with purchase, actually impressed with Volant after I got it to fit. It's form over function, doesn't look particularly good, but it's doing it's job. I thought it made more sense to get air from the hood scoop rather than pulling air from under the car with a SLP or Fast Toys kit.
EBCM replacement, no more lights on dash and abs/tcs work perfectly. It's a good feeling.
Ported, polished, coolant bypass, bump stop modded TB. Awesome unit, very impressed with the gain. Smoother throttle, more response, no negatives to speak of.
New belt tensioner. Didn't solve the groaning power steering pump, but gave me something to do for 5 minutes.
Front brake pads, rotors, and wheel bearings. Picked up Powerstop stock brake replacement kit, with AC Delco hardware/pins, and GMB wheel bearings. Went without a hitch, didn't have time to do the rears but will in a few weeks. I was scared of the GMB wheel bearings but driving today they were a huge improvement over the worn stock units. Time will tell how they hold up.
