Febuary 1st - A few pics from last summer.
October 15th - I uploaded some
new videos. Check them out!
July 22nd - Feels good to see your ride on the main page, doesn't it?
I want to change my coolant soon and while the radiator is drained I will also install the throttle body bypass kit and 160 degree thermostat.
It's also time to change spark plugs and wires. I've got a set of MSD wires and Bosch Platinum +4 plugs.
Here's a shot of the driver side spark plug wire area. This side is a lot easier to change than the passenger side.
A couple pics of my exhaust. Is that the stock muffler or not?
July 8th - Just saw the new
Transformers movie and the 2009 Camaro is in it, looking good.
This was in the first week of June when I went to the Camaro Nationals in St. Catherines, Ontario. There had to be 150 Camaros and we all went for a cruise! It was one of the coolest things i've ever experienced. There were cops escorting our huge convoy which was also sweet; they stopped traffic for us. I don't know why I waited till now to mention this on my ride page.
The police escorts.
July 7th - My car parked beside a WS6 Trans Am in the Canadian Tire parking lot.(I only parked over the line to give him enough room to open his door. www.parkingbydesign.com)

July 5th - Time for another oil change. I went with the same oil again; Castrol Syntec 10W-30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil and a K&N Oil Filter this time around.
-----
June 30th - Just went to the track for the first time! Check out the video!
My best run was 13.957.. The car is an auto with only a K&N Filter. I can't get a good picture of the timeslip though.
June 23rd - I just added these fender stripes which I think look so hot on my car. Mmmm... black and silver.

June - I just got the Autotap that I ordered and it's amazing! For whoever doesn't know about this computer program, you install it on a computer, usually a laptop(for portability), and you plug in the supplied OBDII cord into your car's OBDII diagnostic port(which is usually located underneath the dash above the gas pedal) then the other end into your laptop's USB or Serial port(whichever type you ordered)and the program shows you everything that your car's computer(PCM) knows, in realtime. It's all live! I got the GM enhanced parimeters version that only works for GM cars 1996+ that have an OBDII diagnostic port. There is also a Ford version and a Chrysler version. Also if I am not mistaken, they have something for imports too. I ordered it from www.3800Performance.com
May - Check out the new stainless Steel camaro letters I added! Also added, a license plate frame and 3rd brake light cover that projects a chevy bowtie when lit up. (Night time pic of 3rd brake light coming soon)
April - It's back on the road after 4 1/2 long months!
I went out and spent a bit of money on basic maintenance parts:
-Castrol Syntec 10W-30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil + Fram Synthetic Filter(Didn't have the K&N filter I wanted in stock)
-Formula Shell Dextron-III Automatic Transmission Fluid + Filter(I hope it's the right filter because there were two for my car)
-Castrol Hypoy C Gear Oil(LSD Approved)
-Prestone Longlife Antifreeze/Coolant(5 Year/240,000km)
-Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant(Goes in gas tank)
-Fram PCV Valve
-Fuel Filter
-Positive Battery Cable Terminal(Old terminal thread was stripped so my battery connection sucked, couldn't start the car without boosting it from another car)
- New Power Window Motors(Both sides!)
Parts I have but gotta install as of yet:
- LS1 Throttle Body Bypass
- Diablosport Predator PCM Programmer (Haven't tried it yet but it claims 15-25 RWHP gains)
- MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Spark Plug Wires
- Hypertech 160 Degree Low Temp Thermostat
I want to retint my windows cause they're purply and have some cig burns or somthing.
Aftermarket Mods:(Already done when I purchased car)
-Viper Alarm(Isn't wired properly; really thinking about removing it)
-Window Tint
-Bigger Exhaust Tips
-Vertical Doors(Possibly removing)
-Clear Corners
-K&N Air Filter
-Shorty Antenna(Much Cooler)
-Brake Calipers Painted Blue(I want to repaint them silver or black)
-"Strictly Details" Windshield Sticker(Now removed)
About my car:
-------------
Transmission:
It has an automatic transmission(I KNOW, I wanted a six speed so bad but where I live I can only find auto LS1s for the price I wanted, but I may get a conversion done at FBodyMotorsports down in Charlotte, North Carolina sometime in the next few years http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/ They only charge $750US for labour for a complete swap, but it's the parts that jack up the price to around 5G's >_< ooo) That's with a lightweight flywheel and an upgraded clutch though. I might just sell this one for a 2000 Blue SS 6 Speed, but i'm geting attached to it though, even with the doors the way they are.
Performance:
Stock LS1s Dyno around 290RWHP but I have to install my Throttle Body Bypass and program my PCM with my Diablosport Predator, so I'm looking at 300+ RWHP with my current mods
I have a lot of plans for this car, as I did for my V6, but you can do a lot more to the V8's(performance-wise).
Shorty Antenna(Looks great!)
Fuzion ZRi 245/16's on GM Chrome 5 Spokes
Love the curvy hood but the SS Hood Scoop would be better
The exhaust tips are larger than stock even though you can't really tell in the picture. I can put the whole front of my shoe in them. I measured the openings and they're each 4" wide.
My pics:
See through!
Another shot of the rims
Cell Phone to add scale to exhaust tips
Big tips!
Big gap between door and fender
Ouch!
More ouch!
Fenders had to be chopped a bit here for door to fender clearance
Strictly Details
The vertical doors are a pain to be honest. When either door opens, they drop maybe half an inch cause there's only one hinge, meanwhile there were two when it was stock. They're pretty hard to open from the inside cause you have to lift them up as you push out and when you close them you have to line up the latches or else the fiberglass door gets damaged.(Which happens a lot)If LSD-Doors had a bolt-on kit for my door, I might spend the 2200+USD for it. I don't really want to go back to the stock setup because there are modified parts that can't be unmodified so it won't look right, but if I have to do it to get normal opening doors again, then so be it.
At the wash...
