So I see people posting their rides and what they paid for. 2 years ago I got this 91, not running but body and interior perfect for $3100

I put in a new fuel pump, a little wiring and drainer and filled all the fluids plus a new exhaust. How did I do? 3.1 V6 with 68,407 on the clock with that awesome GM clear coat peel happening.

Moon roof on a 2000 z28

I bought a project. I love it, but I HATE that it doesn't have T Tops. It actually has a moon roof. And I hate that more than a regular roof. But I had never even seen a moon roof on these cars. Is it factory? Is this really a dumb thing they did? Or did the guy that owned it before me sometime do this to the car? I wish I could ask, but the people I got it from had just bought it from some random shop out of state and didn't ask any questions 🙃 If it isn't factory, is there a way to reverse it? And if it is... Whhhhyyyyy??

Seats

My seats in my 97' formula are just destroyed from previous owners and I was wondering what are some good aftermarket seats that aren't too expensive

No blinkers

97 Camaro z28 I went to turn my blinker on one day and it wouldn’t work, nothing on the dash, until I flicked it left and back to the right. Since then my blinkers haven’t worked rear or front. The front blinkers do not turn on with the hazards but the rear blinkers do.

bent in rear quarter panel? fixable?

I have a 98 t/a and was hit in the rear left, they hit my bumper and the bumper ended up pushing in the quarter panel. no dents or crumples, it's all smooth, only damage on the bumper. It's like if they pushed the panel in 3 inches right at the left side bottom of the tail lights.

i just dropped it off at the body shop to have it disassembled and inspected.

could I just pull it out? is this body panel hard to move? I'm not sure if this quarter panel is welded stuck to the frame and couldn't be removed/replaced but I was thinking of doing it myself and if there's any tips on doing this.

Passenger sub woofer

What’s up folks - im looking to have two subwoofers in the back of my 02’ Z28. I’ve seen the box that can fit in the small compartment space on the driver side but I’ve seen some online that allow to have a sub box on the passenger side. Has anyone ran with this setup?

I still miss her.

I regret selling my 2000 Z28. Sold it before I moved out of Cali, which was the right move at the time, but still sucks. Got a '24 WRX TR to scratch the fun-factor itch, but still wish I had the old Camaro once in a while. Been window shopping local f-bodies here and there, and it's crazy how much they still go for. At least I still have my old World of Warcraft plates to remember her by.

(The above photo is a composite image I took before I let her go,thats why you can see clouds in 5he reflections 🤣.)

Stock 4l60 (1993 non E) max power without blowing up.

Is the 4l60 any better then a 4l60E? I've seen people on forums say the 4l60 is just the 7004r renamed, while a lot of people say the 4l60E is the 4l60 but controlled by the computer and that the 7004r are way stronger. Are they all the same with the exception of the electronically controlled 4l60E or is there any big difference in terms of max power and tq handling. I would like to cam my camaro and maybe port the heads and intake, run a 58mm tb and bigger injectors. Adding a manual swap to the list seems very expensive, even though probably worth it for the true driving experience. I don't want a very aggressive cam, and deffinetely don't want to ruin my idle. TLDR: Can I use a small cam in my otherwise stock 1993 camaro lt1?

How can i fix the Radio on my 4th Gen Firebird that has been randomly losing power?

The radio on my car randomly loses all power. It’s done this since I first bought the car but has only gotten worse with time. It’s an aftermarket radio installed by the previous owner. I’m assuming it’s grounding out somewhere and just shorting or something, but I honestly don’t even know where to start. I’m planning on replacing the unit eventually anyway, but anyone here have experience with this?

Banjo bolt rounded

Okay so the drivers side banjo bolt is completely rounded off. I know the two heads are connected through the tube so in theory since I broke the other loose can I pull the drivers side head with the banjo bolt attached if nothing else is connected

Bird catcher intake in SOCAL?

I recently picked up an 89 Camaro and i was wondering if anyone here has ever seen/installed a bird catcher intake in California? Im not asking about emissions wise. I see people have rear window louvers all the time and those are apparently illegal. Does anyone have experience with this?

2001 Firebird headlight hitting fender

My drivers side headlight cover hits the fender, preventing it from popping up. The motor is engaging just fine. Passenger side also works. Before I bought it, the seller swapped the motors out and it was sticky coming up, but worked.

Now it appears to be catching just enough of the fender to prevent it from popping up. Everything I’ve read about adjusting these starts with the headlight up - anyone have any insight on adjusting either the cover or the bucket itself with it down?

Fitment for my 2002 Trans am

I found a set of rims on marketplace for a pretty good deal but I just don’t know what the fitment would look like. The fronts are 17x9 with 45 offset and 6.8” backspacing on 275/40r17 tires and the rears are 18x10.5 with 54 offset and 7.9” backspacing on 305/35r18 tires. My car is lowered 2” so does anyone know if these fit with no issues?

'97 project TA

My step-dad has a '97 WS6 T/A hardtop with a manual trans that's been deteriorating in his driveway for the past several years. He only drives it once a year to get it inspected three miles away, then back home. This year the fuel pump stopped working and he's thinking about getting rid of it. It has 75k miles on it, the paint is destroyed and the dash is crumbling. Is it worth it to rebuild it or should he just sell it as a parts car at this point?
