| Welcome, you've come to the right place now. People here have had these cars since your age and gone through the learning process allready. We can save you lots of $$ I think. Many "in" things will just cost you dough and not give you anything back. We'll try to steer you in the right direction. Also lots of used parts go through the sale board for cheap or sometimes even free. |

Now ain't that the truth. Just for me I have Paul's 10 bolt in my car and Mike's son has my T5. And I have your old headliner in my car. Dewey had my front brakes, new they are on Paul's rear axle I believe. And I know I'm just scratching the surface.

Thank you for the invite to this great site.
Well my name's Kody and i am 13 and go to twality middle school in tigard oregon which i am a low B adverage student and I much rather work on my cars then do the adverage teenage stuff. I save up my money that i do own for ethier tools or my cars.
Everyday after school I will go out into my garage and clean up my camaro, do a quick buffing, run my IROC-Z for a few minutes, lift weights,then i tend to tinker with a few things which sometime's dont always turn out to well example i was trying to replace winshield wipers on my 02 durango and when i had 1 of the blades off the blade arm fell back onto the winshield and cracked it and now we have to get a new winshield and what really is bad is that the durango is MINT condition and kept VERY VERY well care of.
But anyway I am very strict about people around my vehicles and I tend to get myself in trouble at times but no nothing bad. in reality both "camaro and durango" are actually my mother's but i like to consider both mine. The camaro has alot of meaning to me and she will be my highschool car and past then. I wont be the typical smart a$$ that treats there car like crap and do all these wild things to them I dont blame people for not wanting a young man have a muscle car and beat the poor thing up but again I am not that type and i am responsible.
Here is from my motortopia page,
well i'll get back to you on that my computer seems like it doesnt want to load my page but anyway my username for there is 87IROCCAMARO.
Ok here is the link hopefully it will work just type in my username ^ if it doesnt http://www.motortopia.com/vehicles/view/p/cars/v/15444/i/i_roc_u
and no the blue pt cruiser isnt NOT ours I live in a duplex and its our neighbors.
some info about the camaro itself is, 5.0tpi/auto, ultra blue, gray delux cloth interior, basically fully loaded, 3.23 posi rear, basically stock, t-tops, a/c, and more i cant think of.
Future mods are a new 350 small block with all those dream stuff goodies stuffed on the engine and car. I am aiming for a SLEEPER look and i was originally aiming for a LS1 donor car but i hear it requires the 4th gen dash so thats a No unless there's a way around it.
sorry this is kinda alot and sorry about the spelling if you like i can correct the spelling. again thanks for the invite.
And i would add pic's but it seems i cant add pic's they are to large and im not sure on how to lower quality/size to make fit any help would be nice. Thank you! |

That means you should probably go with that stock muffler you were talking about on the other post.
You don't want to have it be a sleeper until you turn it on and it sounds like a fart can. |

IROC makes the best sleeper. If you roll up next to someone in junk and try to race them, they'll get wise that something is up. If you roll up in an old Camaro they'll think you're just a redneck who doesn't know fast.  |
