As for me: I'd love to put a cage in so i don't have to "bitch drive" her at the track.... but $$$ wise that's not going to happen..... Just going to have to take it easy next year...

mine is a weld in and halls can weld it in

Its cheaper to have them use their bars and weld in a cage than buy your own and have them do it. I imagine even your cage is 1000+ in labor.

If you're serious when the time comes hit me up. I've done everything you mentioned except the lace itself. Read about it before though and it's pretty straightforward so I'd have no problems doing that for you. Shops in Lancaster about 15-20 minutes away from Lincoln plaza so I'm not too far out of Worcester.

Kalstar 12-12-2012 01:32 PM

New paint.

fluffy 12-23-2012 08:51 AM

bottlebird, do u have an auto body shop? cuz there are a few issues i would like to have taken care of on my camaro

mjs1012 12-24-2012 01:12 PM

I'd like to take my front bumper off and get reprainted, gunna buy some drag radials, hopefully buy some new shocks and just fix little odds and ends.

BigMac76 12-25-2012 03:11 AM

Definitely will be in touch come closer to the spring man. I usually end up at Kimball Farm in Lancaster during the summer cruises every so often. And yeah it's not that far of a ride at all for me.

Ish. I have a garage where I do side work out of. Been in the auto body industry on and off for almost 15 years. Message me if you like and we can talk.

grundens 01-27-2013 09:10 PM

Well after 3yrs in my garage I can finally turn my attention back to my camaro!!! w00t! Sending my LE2s off for new valve guides either back to llyod or local if anyone will match his price, thinking about a small mill job 4 12:1cr, but might stay 11.5 w/ jst thinner HG`s. Then I`ll start chippin away @ the parts I need:
Head studs
Water pump
Opti
Ported intake
retune
& gotta finish my lid swap
Back is trash so now all I`ve got to do is find sum one competent to work on it for me. Shooting to be driving it by april sum time.

grundens 01-27-2013 09:11 PM

Forgot i need new PR`s too. Annd might upgrade the rod bolts too.. See what i can swing

BryanH 01-29-2013 09:25 PM

My car is getting nothing this year. Just hoping it runs once spring comes around and I don't have too many failing parts.

I need to try those Corbeau seats you are adding CamaroKid. I really want better seats, but I REALLY hate how most seats sit too high. I threw away a lot of money for seats once and John got some new seats for a good deal

The stocks suck especially if they are leather. I slide around in my seat when racing all the time.

Formula413 01-30-2013 06:48 PM

That's one reason I love having cloth seats. Way better for hard cornering.

smokinss 01-30-2013 07:47 PM

Find a set of leather trans am seats. Got rid of my racing seats for them and love em.

BryanH 01-30-2013 10:37 PM

Even the cloth z28 seats are just not good enough. I use my steering wheel to hold myself in place and that hurts my ability to control the car. I need to have 100% attention to turning the wheel perfectly to control the car from spinning

c4boom 02-01-2013 07:23 PM

replacing my clutch

941LE 02-01-2013 10:55 PM

Clutch, timing belt, Crawford AOS, FMIC if I can find a good deal on one. More boost and less timing.

84ta406 02-02-2013 03:55 AM

Who are you gonna have do a tune Mike?

05, the best year for a subie motor lol

941LE 02-02-2013 04:19 AM

Got a friend that tunes close by. A lot left on the table right now because of the clutch.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 02-02-2013 01:27 PM

ONLY STEERS AND QUEERS DRIVE SUBARUS!!!!!

100 % agree lol

I think you and me have the only corner carvers on this forum.

I should probably come to one of your autox events. If you end up getting the Corbeau seats installed, do you mind if I try them out? I don't have to drive your car.. I'll be able to tell just by sitting in them. As long as my helmet doesnt touch the ceiling. Although I'll let you take my car for a drive. Mine could probably use some tuning. The 400 rwhp I think is just too much for autox speeds.

Are you sure you want to remove all the interior panels? It will probably be faster, but it would bump you into a higher class. You seem to have a good setup for ESP which the LS1 is very competitive in nationally. Also there's something about having a fast competitive car that still has daily drivability. That's only my .02 though.. there's plenty of people that prefer an all out gutted race car.

I wish I could flip a switch and instantly have an ESP setup when I take the car to local events.. then flip a switch and go back to what I have now for Seekonk. I can't have the best of both worlds unfortunately. Trying to get there, but one or the other needs to sacrifice something

Getting a new motor this weekend to put the car back to stock for ESP. Interior is staying in car will be setup for ESP solely. Also I don't mind if you drive my car since you practically have an identical car. Letting people drive my car in Auto-x isn't really a big deal. The worst you can do is get some cone rash on the car and I have to buff it out. I will pretty much let anyone auto-x my car as long as I feel they can handle the go pedal and the 433 Hp behind it, which after racing feels like nothing now to me.

Oh no, it's becoming my new obsession too. I have zero desire to go drag racing anymore. I just don't have the time to hit many events with working weekends.

Formula413 02-06-2013 03:28 PM

I'm a bit of an informal corner carver :D

Isn't your car front sway bar less?

Formula413 02-06-2013 05:43 PM

Hell no LOL Suspension is stock except for Koni SAs

LSX-Nation 02-11-2013 11:49 PM

Just a few small things for me. Shift knob, redo the CAMARO letting to a darker red, De-badge the SLP emblem in the back. Replace my third brake light with a new one since its cracked. I sent my TB off to slowhawk and got it ported so i have to put that back on. Install the Ram Air kit and put on the Corsa Clones the GF bought for me.

Like the tips!

ILuvPizzaTimes10 02-12-2013 01:59 AM

nice tips same ones i have!!!!

LSX-Nation 02-12-2013 02:25 AM

Yeah I like them a lot. They look great on T/A's but I think they will look good on the Camaro too.

Formula413 02-12-2013 03:10 AM

Those are nice, I think it will look sick on an SS

84ta406 02-12-2013 04:41 AM

Got some parts in for my winter project, Mikuni VM 20, Weak Ends 24mm intake, UNI filter. Waiting on some more stuff.
