Hey all. First all let me say I love this site. I've been I guess you could call it trolling here for a long time. Finally got my hands on a 2001 Z28 a couple weeks ago. 45K, M6, extended warranty and stock right down to the cat back exhaust. I've got all the paperwork on the car so I know it's been taken care of. Mods are in the works now. I'm going to start with the basics...
-Lid
-FTRA
-Pro 5.0 shifter
-LT's and full exhaust
-PCM tuning
Before I start mods I've been working on getting her up to my standards. Just some maintenance things that need(ed) attention. Plugs, wires, fuel filter, change rear end grease, drain and refill the trans. I'm also going to flush/bleed the brakes and P/S as well.

Eventually I will also install a cam and some N2O for with the Stangs.

Here's a couple pics.

Thanks for the welcomes all. I am very excited. I've been trying and trying to get an LS1 F-bod since '98. Although, every time I've tried it's one thing after another that screwed it up. Finally got one though.

This is truly an awesome tech site. I've been reading up on everything I want to do.
