Default New to the LS1 community

Here's my little introduction.

Owned a 87 Camaro SC as my first car. LG4/700R4...sold before I got my license.

Still have a 79 Trans Am 10th Anniversary sitting at home rotting away. No money to dump into it. 403/auto, exhaust, all new interior, needs work though. Come pick it up cheap LOL.

Been driving a 92 Lumina for about 2 years. 202k miles, been replacing **** too often recently...

And now I have recently purchased 1998 Z/28 M6. 96k miles, 3 inch ORY w/ Magnaflow catback, lid, Ripper shifter, subframe connectors, and he gave me front rotors and pads, NGK plugs and Taylor 10mm wires, and a BMR panhard rod...$7500. Had to fly to Conneticut and drive it back but oh well, it was nice getting aquainted with the 6 speed through Jersey and DC traffic haha.

Got an oil pressure problem(What's new on 98s, though? LOL). MAkes around 37 at cold idle, drops to around 22-25 when it warms up. Around 25 or so in 6th on the highway(1900rpms), around 30 in 5th through town. Hopefully putting in a ported LS6 piece soon.

Been a member of here and CZ28 for a while now, as a browser, just got around to making my presence felt, however.

Glad to be part of the community.

I'll take $2000 obo. It needs work but has all new interior, B&M Megashifter, double-roller timing chain, new water pump, plugs, wires, true duals, new passenger side inner tie rod and sleeve. Carb needs to be rebuilt, needs new valve seals, other ****. Great project car, I learned a shitload about cars on it but it takes up room in my parents driveway and I need the money(I'm in college and own an LS1...explanation not needed LOL)
