As im a fresh meat newbie of the LTX community i do have a head start on this gorgeous LT1 that was my mothers since 1994. its now mine and had it for about 2 years now. still strong at alittle over 200k miles. engine is stock, opti replaced 2 times, water pump replaced 4 times. thats all when it came to maintenance.

ditch the bra and license plate bracket other than that the car looks good, I am digging the wheels and exhaust tips.

What kind of AR wheels are those? Ditch the bra and take of the pin stripe but nice looking car

LTX

yeah about a week ago i ditched the front license plate bracket. and the bra was put on there because of paint damage in the front. any ideas to take the pin stripe off with out harming the paint?

And Im not sure what kind of AR wheels they are, all i know is that there forged, my father owns his own shop. "The Tire Choice" and he put them on the car back in 2001.

thanks.

nice stance on that... how much was it lowered? what wheel/tire size are you running? any tire rub issues since lowered?

good luck with the mods, nice start.

LTX

Yeah even though i do alignments everytime i change the tires, they do tend to wear alittle prematurely in the front. The rear tires are still good, no wear there. and its lowered alittle over 1 inch front and rear.

i think you need control arm relocation kit. ive read that when you lower it, it throws of alignment. also, an adjustable panhard bar

lca relocations will only adjust rear launch angle on the rear end.......should have a downward angle on the LCA's to the rear for proper traction......wont affect alignment........adjustable panhard rod will more than likley be necessary to realign the rear side to side..........also the pinion angle is now more than likely off which could also be addressed if you are planning on doing a motor and making any kind of power........the front end camber WILL need to be adjusted however.....

^ thats right, my bad.. its for the rear.

how would the front camber need to be adjusted for a modded car? if its for the track?

Your bra is almost guaranteed to cause way more harm to your paint that what it is supposedly "protecting" get rid of it ASAP! LOL always see some old man in a new Vette with a damn bra on it ******* up the brand new paint and making it look like *** Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.

Mississippi

Yeah, ditch the bra. But that color looks damn good. I love loud *** colors.

LTX

Yeah well the wheels also messes with the alignment, my wheels arent stock obviously but i was thinking on buying some stuff for the suspension and new arms from thunder racing because when i turn my steering wheel on sharp turns when i reverse it makes this crack noise. i had my buddies look at it at my dads shop and he replaced all the bushings, it stopped for about 2 weeks then it did it again they checked the bushings again an all were OK. whats possible if everything looks normal?

are you asking how would the camber be adjusted for a drag car?? my car is actually negative cambered at a normal stance because when the front end is up it is straight.....


its always better without the bra hahah

LTX

yeah haha its a stock paint job. Not too many with this color, i friend of mine told me awhile back they only made about 200 (93-02) with this exact color.

More than that but yeah it was a rare color. It was a 94-95 color IIRC.

Nice car! The color IS the best but then again in biased

If you are keeping the bra grab some cf light covers. I don't approve of covers on the rear tail lights but here's my brothers brand new 97 ss way back when he got it.
