Re: My "new" F-body

I think it's sexy as hell. LT1 ftw.

Btw, what's the size of the tips? I just wanna see how big the ones I have are....

Thanks, the tips are 2.25in inlet, 7 3/4 wide, I believe this is the stock size.

Done deal. You got 2 of the sexiest camaroes here.

thanks man!

What kind of rims are those? C6?

The rims are 17" C6 Z06 deep dish in chrome

I think they're C5s...

they are c6 replica rims

NICE!

thx!

Is it stock under the hood?

so far! only thing under the hood is a k & n intake

pic of the front end please?

nice ride man congrats

i'll post pics of the front in a second post

looks awesome,
but i think my opinion is a little biased

lol thats awesome!

Car looks great!!!

thx!

Looks pretty sick! Lets hear the plans you've devised for this beast??!!?!?

Not much for plans, probably suspension, full exhaust and small cam for a fun DD

those look like smaller C6 Z06 wheels with a deep dish lip?

They are the C6 z06 rims with a deep dish got em from oewheels on ebay

Yeah, I think those are like 17" C6 Z06 deep dish.

Is that a cloud on your passenger quarterpanel or a flaw in the paint?

its a flaw in the paint, some of the clear is coming off. The body is straight but the paint needs some work, its on my to do list lol.

nice ride man.

thx!

Damn! you have a hell of an eye, rattle can king

maybe he can fix my paint? lol

Nice looking Z.

Thanks steve! no rambling? dang it

Re: My "new" F-body

No rambling , just saying its a nice looking Z , for the its year, I only ramble on questions. LOL Plus my meds have been adjusted , no more Oxycotin for 2 months now , so I think that helps alot.

lol i was just playing. now since your feeling better, you should finish that turbo build!

it does look nice, I don't understand how the rest of the paint cleans up so nice yet there are random spots of clear fading, its almost if some sort of liquid was splashed on it.

Re: My "new" F-body

just took the dive and ordered a set of stainless long tube headers off ebay.

$310 bucks shipped for long tube headers, 3in Y pipe, 1.5in primaries and 3in collectors.

Re: My "new" F-body

Damn... I have some that are 8.5" x 3.25"... no wonder they seemed massive. Thanks. I'll have to take a picture of my red TA to show ya.

Re: My "new" F-body

...you have 8.5 inch primaries on your headers?

[Docta]

Re: My "new" F-body

Oh god no. Tips bro. There was some on the system I bought. Now for sale cuz the tips looked ridiculous....

oh haha, I'm like wtf those are some big *** headers!

EDIT: I just realized you were referring to the rectangular exhaust tips.

Re: My "new" F-body

I would be happy with any headers.... Or the ability to do ANYTHING to my LT1. She's a garage baby. 94 Trans Am vert. With 41k... had 28k in 97 when we bought it.

I just realized there's a whole gallery of it in my Fquick.

Re: My "new" F-body

Headers came in!



Also got a Hurst Billet shifter, I'm going to try this one to see if I like it better than the Pro 5.0 I have now.
