  • Wow got an update on my old old car...

    Just thought you guys might find this interesting. I am sure there are few that even remember my old 94 3.4L 5-speed

    Either way I had ~500 passes at the dragstrip in it, got it down to a 15.4 with some minor bolts ons. Do to my aggressive driving I went through a few trannies. Either way ended up selling the car at 140k mile for $1k with a bad tranny, belts showing on the tires, brakes worn to nothing. And exterior/interior a little rough and went to a '00 Camaro.


    Either way guy that bought it is on another board. He slapped a coat of paint on it, put some wheels on it, junkyard tranny cleaned up the odds and ends. He planned to do a GN motor swap into but just been DD it for awhile. He has put 252,000 miles. That is crazy, all I ever did to the motor was pull the valve covers and readjust the rockers.

    Jsut thought it interesting... 252,000. Motor didnt' exactly have an "easy life" Easily twice as beat on as my 3.8L. And my 3.8L motor ended up dieing at like 82k.

      Very nice.

      Usually those that buys a second hand car don't treat it as good. But your former car is indeed lucky.

      I saw my Honda once being driven by a girl. It's all beat up and worn down. Funny how I still recognize it. It was like an old friend.

            Don't worry when I sold it, it was pretty stock looking Quaser blue 3.4L.

            just had fill ins in the rear Camaro piece.

            Mods were, 1LE sways, z28 rear with wheel 4 disc brakes/LSD, ghetto intake, z28 exhaust with a cutout, and one of the studs on the cutout was bent.


            He added the hood, spoiler, zr1s, and CME

                man those back wheels are faaatttt --- maybe 315's? at least 295.

                and x2 that CME looks beast.

                glad someone treated your ride with some care --- i'd love to run into the guy that had my car for a year and traded it in has to say about what i've done to her :D

                    My guess 315s or 325s... Obviously a 17X11 Zr1... I had few different wheel types with 275s on my 2k, and they didn't look near as wide.
