stevethepirate Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 not too sure where this thread belongs... this looked like the best place. I just moved out to Ohio from philly, going to college in wooster (NE Ohio i guess. its SW of Akron) Its a 2002 Sunset Orange Metallic (V6 unfortunately) camaro. i havent been to the track since i started modding it, but stock, it ran a best of 15.2 @ 88.5 with a 2.19 60'. It came from the factory with 3.42's, no posi though. since ive had it, ive added a few things.. Whisper lid K&N filter TSP Rumbler catback Pacesetter Ceramic-Coated Headers and Y-pipe Catco high-flow cat NX wet shot (jetted at 50 right now, im going to up it to 75 soon) 180* thermo then a billet grill, some drilled/slotted rotors, and a sh!tload of meguires gold class products I have a warbird hood that needs to get painted, just sitting back in my room in philly... so i guess i'll do that over christmas when the car is garaged or something. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c78/steveydthepirate/P1010159.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c78/steveydthepirate/P1010156.jpg http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL874/3556528/8433502/180046704.jpg http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL874/3556528/8433502/113566607.jpg (trust me, those tips are long gone) suggestions?

coty061885 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Just an FYI, you shoulda posted this in The Classroom. No biggie, it'll get moved soon. I've loved that color since my friend got a Firebird in the same color back in high school. Sounds like you're doing some good things so far. Is it manual or automatic? Only suggestion I can think of is maybe some bigger wheels; the current wheels look small and don't fill the wells very much. Just my $0.02. Oh, and welcome to the boards.

stevethepirate Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 damn, didnt even see this section... its been a long day. thanks for the welcomes. the car is definitely getting some nice rims, just gotta figure out what. everyone has the corvette rims (i would say C6 or C5, im not a fan of the Z06's), and all the other rims are like... 2 grand. i also need to buy a beater for the insane Ohio winters... my car doesnt like snow. I currently am suffering from an EGR leak after getting the pacesetters installed, so i have to figure that out, and then i'll get to the track if people go sometime. i just dont think that spraying with an exhaust leak would be that much fun.

Nitrousbird Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yup, needs rims. I'm selling my 17x9.5 Konig Flights, would bolt right up on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevethepirate Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 eh, it sorta was a joke. i just noticed in all the other threads that there was a $20 race "initiation" or something, lol. and how the hell can you run 14.4x stock? 100lbs=1/10th of a second, right? aka you would have to lose at least 600 lbs, and be one hell of a driver. what gears was it?

Ehh... it just takes its good old time about getting up to speed, that's all. I sure as hell won't be beating anyone off a dead start, but it's been up to about 80-85 mph without complaining. Can't really go any faster on I-71 up to CTown without risking a trooper around the semi-blind turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethepirate Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 yeah, the accord i used to drive was nice, kinda like a sleeper. i could floor it, and no one would notice i did go 125 in it though... which is faster than ive been in my 3.8. (i dont really speed in my car anyways... just never want to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost about 300-400 lbs. I am a hell of a driver 3.90 gears The 3.8 is in my 89 RX7, hence the weight loss and 3.90 gears. Also, it does have headers and exhaust and somewhat of a CAI, both needed for installation into the RX7. Is that what the black one ran? not bad. Not bad, but you would definitely have the upper hand if we raced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
