Default Back in Colorado!

Hello, my name is DJ. I've been a lurker for a long time now.

I am the proud owner of a Silver 2000 Camaro Z28 M6. I've owned the car for over 10 years now. It's been the most reliable vehicle I've owned over the years. During the time I owned it, aside from things breaking due to me being a jackass, I've had to replace a thermostat and the driver side window motor. I have had numerous situations where I was close to getting rid of it but it never happened and I am extremely grateful for that. I bought the car here in Colorado and then later joined the military. I ended up driving the car out to Virginia to my first duty station. Since then I've left the service, got married and then moved back to Colorado.

I've always wanted to build out this car but never had the time, money, direction, nor space to do so. But now that i'm back home things have settled down. I have a stable career, a great wife and a spacious garage so it's time to mod!

Here she was when I bought her: January 2003

Here she is right now...in her home

Current Modifications:
Pacesetter Long Tubes, 3" Y-Pipe and exhaust going into a Full-Boar Muffler
Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
UMI Shock Tower Brace
UMI Torque Arm (Broke the stock one while I was in the navy)
Baer Eradispeed Rotors w/Hawk Performance Pads
17" ZR1 Wheels w/Firehawk wide Ovals (275's all around)
Air Lid
Free Mods

Mods I just ordered:
BMR Level 4 Koni Handling Performance Package:
1 SB001 Sway bar kit with bushings, front, hollow 35mm
1 SB003 Sway bar kit with bushings, rear, hollow 25mm
2 8241-1139 Koni front shock, single adjustable, sport (Yellow), each

1 SP001 Lowering springs, set of 4, 1.25" drop
UMI Tubular Lower Control Arms and Panhard Bar

The BMR sale couldn't have come at a better time!

ENGINE!!!!! Either forge the LS1 or LQ4/9?and throw in some filthy forced induction
Maybe even an LSX if I can afford it

Looking forward to collaborating with people on this board and hopefully meeting up with some fellow car guys here in CO!

I also wanted to express my gratitude to everyone on this board. This forum has a wealth of information and I just wanted to say thank you for that! Hopefully I can add to it sometime in the future.
