just a little bit!

ZFreie 03-23-2012 12:16 PM

I get that pizza, but i dont live at the track lol so being faster to 1000 feet is useless to me right now, ill still be slow from a roll which i do most of my racing, not by choice mind you lol.

Granted, after seeing your reaction, im half tempted to do mods in the most ass backwards way so i can see how many blood vessels you pop lol

:zfreie:

Next mod, a window switch! lol

holokosta 03-23-2012 01:11 PM

Paint it red. Gives you at least 30 hp

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-23-2012 03:02 PM

Hahah maybe you didn't undersand me. I beat him at the 1000 foot meaning he was faster threw out the whole track but the end........ get a stall and tranny. You feel the power a lot more then a cam only. Ill say it again. Stalllll firsttttt

My84Z 03-23-2012 03:55 PM

I say nitrous first :)

ive debated this route, but in the end will cost as much as any other mod all said and done, nitrus will be my last mod if im not going fast enough in the 1/4, to which a 100 should fix lol

and pizza, i think you miss read what i said, cause im aware he beat you to the 1000 foot mark, but do a 20 roll or 40 roll and see what happenes lol


i also think you guys are thinking i want some donkey dick cam, im talking a hardly bigger then stock cam that will work with stock unported heads just for now, alot of money i thought i was gonna have is gone and heads cam stall rear tranny just arnt in the cards this year. but i figure i can do a tiny cam for under a grand and replace a bunch of old valve train in the process. seems like a win win from my side lol

less money and some more vroom, vs lots of money and a whole bunch more vroom hahah

and again, this is brain storming, takes me months to fianlly decied on something, im worse then a chick at times, should see me shop for my self hahahah

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-23-2012 07:55 PM

how many miles are on the motor? you pulling the heads and doing valve guides too? they will be worn. and hanging a valve open from high mileage age and wear and tear will end up costing you alot more. LEAVE THE MOTOR ALONE!!! Build from the back Up!!! Rear Stall!!! you can find 300 dollar 10 bolts with 342's all day!! stall will run you 650ish and a j yard tranny another 500 or so. 1500ish and your car will rock it will save the motor becuase it wont have to work as hard and give you some time to save up and rebuild/replace the old tired motor. keep giving me reasons to just Waste your money on a Puny cam you will just throw away wen you get heads and or a motor rebuild....... and ill give you reasons Not too. Ohh and i forgot to mention cam bearings. with those miles they are For sure worn and will cause premature failure of the cam bearing journals.

ZFreie 03-23-2012 08:28 PM

I hate when your being smart lol first thing first is the new rear, i need one anywho!

ZFreie 03-27-2012 02:14 PM

Ball joints are going to be replaced this week, while I'm there i figure the front decarbons can be replaced as well

Whats a good inexpensive shock?

http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...hock-front--1/ any idea on these?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-27-2012 07:09 PM

The gr2s give a really soft ride. I didn't like them. Get a good decent quality strut so you won't have to go back and do it again. Bilsteins aren't much more money for the basic bills.

holokosta 03-27-2012 07:18 PM

my car has bilsteins.. pretty sweet

Hence me asking, the blisteins arnt much more, I was just seeing my options.



Prob gonna go with poly bushing in the front suspension while I'm there?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-27-2012 09:51 PM

Good luck with that! They suckkkk to put in and still ride like poo. Jjust save up for tubular lowers later on.

So put rubber bushings back in and not poly?

And I have to get the car drivable again, I've got a real bad twitch under breaking and when the crown of the road is exaggerated both ways, the car trys to put its self in the ditch lol

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-28-2012 02:28 AM

thats typical of these cars. try getting it aligned with the wider fronts on it. mine always pulls on crowns too. its what they do with 275's up front.

I'm talking rip the steering wheel out of my hands if im not holding onto it tight. it following the crown is one thing, im talking it will turn the wheel like 1/3 a turn and try and put me into a ditch lol


and I don't have 275 up front, I still have stock wheels in the front lol

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-28-2012 12:50 PM

yeah then get it aligned. and does it always pull to one side? check the pad slides. make sure the knickle isnt worn and the brakes are working properly.

i JUST got an alignment done when i replaced tie rod ends, ill take it back and have him check it again, but i can hear the clunks and clicks from front suspension lol and breaks are fine, which is why im pretty sure ball joints and bushing will fix it. ill take a video if i can soon of how bad its

and no, some times it will track stright as an arrow and break stright, other times ill step on the breaks and will pull hard left or right, other times ill be coasting and will pull hard left or right, its a real fast hard twitch /pull but goes away as soon as the suspension settles again.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-30-2012 01:02 AM

how is the Rack? sounds like the damper inside of it is bad. is it leaking?

Not to my knowledge, Surprisingly my lt1 hasnt been leaking much lately haha

I'm prob gonna start with bushing, and ball joints on both sides and see if that helps, they need to be replaces anywho and make a shit ton of noise over bumpy roads lol Hopeing that fixes the steering problem

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-30-2012 11:34 PM

Yeah then do the rubbers. Poly in the stock control arms sucks. And check the uppers. They usually go bad first.

Rubber it is, and im just gonna replace EVERYTHING while im there, both upper and lower ball joints, and all three(I think there are 2 on the lower a arm and one in the upper?) bushings.

Might as well do it once and deal with it in another 160k lol

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-31-2012 11:06 PM

2 upper bushings and 2 lowers. be ready to grab a torch. they don't come out so easy!!!!

Yes sir, got the moog bushings and ball joints all ordered and will be in monday, would it be easier just to take the A arms somewhere and have the old bushings pressed out/ pressed in?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-02-2012 01:41 PM

YES!!!!!! i used to do them at AXP with out a press and would take an hour or so EACH SIDE. with a press it was 15 minutes!

Easy enough, looks like the camaro is gonna be suspension less for a couple days this week lol I'm prob gonna sand and clean up my spindles and arms and shit while I'm there, a quick sand blasting shouldnt hurt em right?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-03-2012 12:49 AM

yeah just dont heat one spot with the media/sit in one spot too long. it can fatigue the cast iron.

Kalstar 04-03-2012 01:34 AM

Sand or class medium? Makes a mess but nothing is easier to clean the years away.

sand, I'm talking a real fast sandblasting outside with what my dad has, which isnt much lol

KLAB 04-03-2012 01:48 AM

zfry I suggest rust oluem gloss black brush on paint. Shit is so strong and being gloss it cleans nicely. I have my spindles, A-arms and whole rear coated in 2-3 layers of that stuff. Cleans awesome and lasts. I kind of rushed on the prepping because I had a nice warm dry day to paint so for that reason I just wire wheeled everything and that got it clean enough. The rougher surface the better sticky.

:klab:

Disclaimer, this is not any kind of bashing towards mike (941le).

Tires of the back of the zr1s are junk, and need a kinda fast replacement for cheap.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

Unless someone can find me something better for same price or cheaper they will be going on the back of the tuna.

Might accept slightly used nittos, I dd the car so no qtp or Mickys lol

KLAB 04-04-2012 03:05 AM

1.
did you mean mph or really 30hp LOL

2.
and dude.....I basically have an open diff right now....lol, tires will not matter for traction currently.

And, 98+ = catfish, so its a joke as to why I call it the tuna....

ZFreie 04-04-2012 03:37 AM

And while I'm thinking about it, pressure in the gas tank is relieved when I open the gas cap, does this mean my evap is either not working, or clogged? Id have to go back in the tune to see if its in or not.

KLAB 04-04-2012 11:56 AM
