Default Hello From Texas :)

Hi my name is Jason and I own a 1994 Camaro Z28 convertible. I have had it for a year now (my first car) and I love it...although it does need some work. It only has 86k on the body the engine and tranny were replaced in 2000 and when we bought the car in 2001 the body had 60k miles on it.

Right now the main thing is electrical issues (driver side window has a short) and the brake lights don't always work..well the middle on always does but the 2 on the sides don't. It also needs a new paint job because before my parents gave me the car my mom used it to go to work (at walmart) and it sat in the parking lot for 9 hours and now the clear coat is peeling.

In the next coming months I plan on putting a lot of money into the car. It's stock at the moment but in a month or two I will be adding the basic bolt ons such as CAI, Throttle Body, and catback exhaust. (I'm a newbie on cars so if I say something stupid please point it out lol.) I then plan on adding a new cam/headers as well. Also other stuff I need that I don't know about yet

Here are some pics (the lip kit is coming off soon)




I do like how the lip kit looks, but it is such a pain in the *** to drive around with it on. I can't turn left out of my neighborhood without scraping it on the ground unless I turn into the opposite lane. And any sharp dip in the road I end up scraping it .

So yeah anyway...Hi
